Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

If Trump had hoped that appointing a loyalist to the Fed would push it in a more dovish direction, he appears to have failed completely as the Fed swung in a sharply hawkish direction today. Miran's problem is that making an utterly incoherent case for rate cuts convinced no-one.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

The Vice President is a shameless liar still peddling this debunked, racist trash. What a disgrace.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

UPDATE — CHARGES DROPPED against Larry Bushart, a liberal ex-cop who was in jail for 30+ days for a Trump meme post in a Charlie Kirk vigil group (Gotta think the @philinvestigates.com piece helped)

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Virginia House of Delegates moved one step closer Wednesday to redrawing the state’s congressional map in an effort to counter GOP-controlled states that have gerrymandered this year at President Donald Trump’s request. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Chuck Grassley repeatedly can't hear a reporter's question, admits he has hearing problems, then answers a question he wasn't asked but that he apparently heard in his heard

Buttercup just committed attempted murder..

Cops be wilding! We have cars too fat ass.

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security. None of this is normal.

This narcissistic attitude that sees a vote as a curated extension of your personal brand or a version of a celebrity endorsement is going to be the death of this nation.

God Maria Bartiromo is a hag and Cuomo sits there and says nothing as she spews this racist dreck.

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app? What?

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Paying more for your coffee? A bipartisan Senate voted last night to cancel Trump's tariffs on Brazilian coffee. Why the tariff? Because Donald Trump likes their old wannabe dictator who tried to overturn his last election. While Trump cozies up to autocrats, your costs go up.

Powell: "If you listen to the reports of big public consumer-facing companies, many of them are saying there's a bifurcated economy and that consumers on the lower end are struggling and buying less and shifting to lower cost products, but that at the top people are spending."

I honestly have no idea why people continue to report his big announcements when they always turn out to be bs.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

every day a new rubicon is crossed

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

The pardon wasn’t enough. It’s immunity for life.

Jobs vanishing, SNAP running out, prices climbing, people going hungry, and billionaires building ballrooms. THAT is the “Trump Effect”

How about instead of “Trump Announces … “ it is “Trump claims …” That would be a far more accurate description of reality.

New: Progressive congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh has been indicted over protests outside Chicago-area ICE facility after videos of confrontations with federal agents have fueled right-wing calls for her arrest. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k...

🚨BREAKING: A Virginia judge Wednesday rejected a Republican request to immediately block Democrats from advancing a constitutional amendment that could let the state redraw its congressional map— a win, for now, for Democrats and voting rights advocates. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

conspiracy to make a cop go slow

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

I would like to welcome Kat to the club of people who committed no crime but were indicted for political reasons. The club's membership is growing at breakneck speed!

We now have legal fees on top of our campaign expenses. You can help us stand up to the Trump administration by chipping in here: katforillinois.com/legal

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Bitch yes u have

Excellent statement from one of Abugazelah's opponents in the IL-9 Dem primary.

I am disgusted by the partisan and unethical indictments of Kat Abugazelah and five others at the direction of Donald Trump’s weaponized Justice Department.

It’s not clear what’s worse: the idea that Johnson would hear a report about the use of excessive force against a faith leader and never think about it again—or that he actually expects Americans to believe he never heard about it in the first place. trib.al/tKL2i8J

The Senate approved a resolution Tuesday evening that would nullify President Trump’s tariffs on Brazil, including oil, coffee and orange juice, as Democrats tested GOP senators’ support for Trump’s trade policy. https://to.pbs.org/4oId7Ve
