Marjorie Taylor Greene says the Epstein victims have a list of "rich powerful men that they were passed around to. Now that's a list they have kept to themselves, frankly because they are terrified."

Republicans just blocked my attempt to force the release of the video of the 'second strike' that killed shipwrecked survivors on September 2nd. This is their latest move to provide cover for this administration as it drags us closer to war with Venezuela.

BREAKING: House GOP passes health care bill, a largely symbolic package that doesn't address expiring Obamacare subsidies www.ms.now/news/house-g...

@timmiller.bsky.social: "A+++, Rome isn't built in a day, not gonna get fixed in a week, not gonna get fixed in 11 months apparently." @crampell.bsky.social: "Well, it's especially not gonna get fixed if they keep on doing things to break it further."

Donald Trump is mentally unwell. Any reporter who covers him as if this should not be considered and addressed when writing about his acting as “President” is seriously failing at their job.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith followed the facts and the law when he prosecuted Donald Trump. Now, Trump’s retribution campaign has targeted him. Katie Phang with the latest on Smith’s closed-door Congressional testimony & why Judge Cannon continues to put her thumb on the scale to help Trump.

Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

We need to recognize this isn’t a Trump issue only, this is every Republican in Congress allowing this. It’s not a Donald Trump problem, it’s the Republican Party!

Brian Tyler Cohen talks about Republicans rebuke of Speaker Mike Johnson by signing ACA discharge petition

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Health insurance is the coming crisis…In my rural district, I have 75,000 people that are on ACA tax credits. Here's the truth for the Republican Party: the large portion of those 75,000 people are Republican voters. This is a real issue."

I'm sure the convicted felon who was found guilty of 34 counts of felony fraud and whose accountant was sent to prison for "cooking the books" at his company, would love nothing more than to "cook the books" of the government if given the chance.

How does he plan to circumvent the Constitution? 22nd Amendment; Section 1: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, ...." “Under any reasonable interpretation of the 22nd Amendment, he can’t run again, ....The only way to do it is if he openly breaks the law.”

President Donald Trump has added partisan and subjective plaques to a refashioned West Wing walkway he calls the Presidential Walk of Fame. The plaques include bombastic language, from “Sleepy Joe” Biden references to painting Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate. GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

McGovern: "The reality is that some people's premiums are going up 100%, and their big grand plan is to give people an 11% coupon. I mean, this is laughable. It is pathetic ... they are unbelievably out of touch. Republicans have spent a year screwing over the people they represent."

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals. But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force. Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

Deadline White House with reaction to the news that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is set to leave his position at the nation’s leading law enforcement agency ..... to return to his preferred job of being a right-wing podcaster.

I wish they would stop falling back on that excuse, ...but I guess that's too much to ask of people who are incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

So now that we’ve pretty much completely abandoned the whole “on Day 1” thing; and “in two weeks” & “next quarter” didn’t work out too well either, what is the date when MAGA will agree that it is definitely Donald Trump’s economy and everything won’t be Biden’s fault?

Isn’t blockading another country already an act of war?

Deadline White House and Rep. Zoe Loefgren (D) with reaction to former Special Counsel Jack Smith testifying today behind closed doors to members of Congress about his work prosecuting Trump, standing by the two indictments his office issued and how they hold up in the court of public opinion.

In the last election in this district, the Democrat won 60 - 40

Former special counsel Jack Smith defended his criminal investigation into Donald Trump in a closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee as he faces scrutiny from Republican lawmakers. Smith was called to testify about Trump’s alleged mishandling and retention of classified documents

Former special counsel Jack Smith delivered a striking message to lawmakers today: his team developed “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump committed crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the retention of classified documents.

Rep. Smith: They have released 15-20 different strike videos. Release the video of the strike. There is nothing classified about the roughly 30 seconds where you see the two people on the boat before the strike hits. He is flat out lying to say that that is classified information.

Susie Wiles: "Vanity Fair tricked me into saying embarrassing things about the Trump administration. And then I went back to talk with them ten more times."

Chris Whipple responded to WH claims that his interview with Wiles was a “hit piece”: “There isn’t a single fact or a single assertion that they’ve challenged in the piece,” he said. “…this is the ultimate non-denial denial.” The interview was recorded so they couldn’t deny what was recorded.

Rep. Ro Khanna, one of the sponsors of the law requiring the release of the investigative files relating to Jeffrey Epstein, says he's giving the Justice Dept. the "benefit of the doubt" that it will make the files public by Friday — warning that there would be repercussions if it doesn't.

is this bad? seems bad

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said in a hearing on Wednesday that the agency was not independent, stunning Democratic lawmakers concerned that President Trump could use the government office as a tool for censorship.

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago. Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs. Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has told colleagues he will leave his position early in the new year.

Breaking WaPo: At least two senators have placed holds on the nomination of Adm. Kevin Lunday to serve as Coast Guard commandant after the service enacted a new harassment policy that downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to 'potentially divisive.'

When campaigning, Trump repeatedly said he would be a “no-wars” president. “I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.” That line aged like milk. No doubt Trump wants war. He’s saber-rattling about Venezuela and changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

I wouldn't put it past Trump and his administration to start a war with Venezuela to distract from the releasing the Epstein files.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Massie: "This is about oil and regime change"

Narrator: He has lost control of the House

Always their response to any question they don't want to answer "I don't know anything about it."

MeidasTouch reports on Trump throwing the GOP under the bus by forcing them to reject any extension of the affordable care act subsidies and likely causing their certain defeat during the midterms.

Does Trump have to give back the FIFA Peace Prize after he invades Venezuela, or does the FIFA guy really not care what he does because he needs a lot of favors for the World Cup and the whole thing is a ridiculous corrupt charade?

BREAKING: Jake and Romy Reiner release statement on the deaths of their parents as their brother Nick Reiner makes first court appearance. MS NOW's David Noriega reports.

Inflation is so bad in Trump’s economy that the cost of his ballroom went from $200 million to $400 million in 6 months.

Pick whatever foreign policy disaster you’d like from American history—Bay of Pigs; Iran-Contra; Mission: Accomplished. The thinking behind Trump’s Venezuela adventure is worse. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4s4n8hZ

Moskowitz: Speaker Johnson seems to have memory problems: I haven’t seen that. I haven’t heard about it. You’re telling me this for the first time. He just can’t get away from trying to defend the president without making it look like he has absolutely no idea what’s going on at any point in time…
