"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!

'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!
