Translation: “We will let your health care premiums skyrocket and have no plan to help alleviate the pain”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Big things are happening…

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor. Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP. To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

King Charles III has begun the process to neuter his brother Andrew, the stautory rapist formerly known as a Prince & Duke While back in the USA, Senator John Thune & Speaker Mike Johnson and their MAGA GOP colleagues in Congress are complicit in Trump'e Epstein Cover-Up Shame on Republicans!

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza? Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more. It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

There are no kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

We ARIZONANS have no REPRESENTATION because of Republican Party games because they know she will vote 🗳️ to open THE EPSTEIN FILES! Oh my…. 🖖🤩🙏💙🇺🇸💙🖖

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

Netanyahu announces Israel will not abide by the terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, despite it being a key ceasefire agreement clause. Didn't take long, did it?

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

The largest demonstration during Trump’s first term was around 750 events. “We’re now expecting about 2,500 events around the country on No Kings. So we’re talking about literally four times as many.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social Please join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

We can organize everywhere. We can flip red seats. We can flip entire chambers. And we can govern like we give a damn. Let’s show the rest of the country how to fight like Michigan.

This is the way.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

It's time for Speaker Johnson to quit stalling and swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva to secure the final vote on releasing the Epstein files.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.
