"The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up."

It turns out that the airline industry funneled huge cash to the Senate "Democrats" who voted to help the GOP end the shutdown without preventing huge cuts to healthcare. (The Lever)

“If we believe that citizens should receive notice when the #government subpoenas their phone bill, great! Perhaps this revolutionary new policy—which #CivilLiberties groups would probably support—should be the law. But then the law should protect the civil liberties of all 320 million Americans, as the #EqualProtectionClause of the #Constitution demands, not just the 100 Americans in the #Senate,” #JamieRaskin added.

The Democrats are the reason that I (and millions of others) have been able to have healthcare for the past decade plus.

Republicans are the reason that it's about to end. Sorry if it makes anyone upset but I don’t let shitty people lie with impunity.

The depravity of Trump is on full display — from pressuring MAGA reps to bury the Epstein files to trying to starve hungry Americans and weaponize prosecutors against his enemies. Legal AF takes on the legal battles ahead. Watch live now!

URGENT: Meet Dr. Tanisha Hall, Warden of the prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly being pampered like royalty.

Whistleblowers say Hall is punishing inmates and staff who question Maxwell’s special treatment.

This demands transparency.

Warden Hall must testify before Congress, now.

@randahl This is bullshit intrusive, but am I surprised? Hardly… 🤔

'For the first time in the program’s 60-year history. '

That sentence is a good summary of how disastrous the government of Trump is.

Imagine a program (SNAP) that has already been providing food for the poor for 60(!) years and that has NEVER missed a payment.

Now, under Trump, the poor will go hungry more than before. And realize that among the recipients 70% have a job,

What could go wrong?

But I must admit, it was the greatest Con in the history of humanity. And he can't even brag about pulling off such an exceptional con, because that would be a confession. But he's secretly laughing at the gullible maga masses who, by the millions, made it all possible.

As to what could go wrong, the mob boss in chief is drunk with power, relishing in all the pain that he's dishing out. Enjoy!

“More and more cabinet members who are directing the anti-immigration policies — Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem — live on military bases now, not in American civilian society, and it feels like another historical parallel to Iraq, where the American administration was living behind gated walls protected by the military in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where political leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

On today's front page: Trump is simultaneously
—fighting relentlessly to avoid paying $5 billion already appropriated by Congress to feed the nation's poor and hungry.
—quietly diverting *hundreds* of billions in the form of “unlegislated tax cuts" to the nation's superrich elite, private equity, and billionaire investors.

Trump is fighting tooth and nail to ensure that Americans go hungry. Yet he has Ghislaine Maxwell set up with her own prison chef and meals delivered to her personally. Why aren't the Dems pounding hard about this when they have the letters proving it? @emilyyour8.bsky.social
