House Republicans are now canceling Friday votes. Congress will recess for the rest of the year on Thursday afternoon. Obamacare subsidies expire Dec. 31.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

They simply don’t care! 👇

The cost of living a middle class life — education, housing, healthcare — is quickly becoming unsustainable and this prick thinks it’s a fun game.

One of the goals of rightwing politics is shrinking the size of the middle class because people without resources are more easily controlled. Guess what happens when you push people off their insurance?

Nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz was sentenced in April to three years for defrauding the government of $38 million. Seven months later, President Trump pardoned him, but the White House denies a lobbying tie.

Daily reminder for those who may hav3 forgotten. THIS is an insurrection. #FDT

When the president sidelines his own intelligence community to shield a foreign leader, America's credibility is at stake," Vindman said. Vindman and 37 other lawmakers sent a letter to Trump Thursday calling for the transcript's release. The document remains classified. -axios

The Trump administration this week moved to weaken the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, among other deregulatory moves. If the proposals are finalized and upheld in court, they could reshape U.S. environmental policy for years to come, environmental lawyers and activists said.

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres

Trump doesn’t care about working families. He cares about his ballroom and his billionaire friends–while our pockets pay the price.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.

The message behind “quiet, piggy” was not subtle. I decide who speaks. I decide what truth is. I decide whose pain persists and whose gets erased. I decide what women are allowed to ask me. I decide which crimes survive and which get swallowed in smoke. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

HOLY SHIT, THE SENATE JUST VOTED TO APPROVE THE EPSTEIN BILL!!! SIGN IT, TRUMP! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. And then resign.

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them?

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files. Good luck, asshole.

Oh wow. Who could've ever seen this coming? "Speaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies" abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Prices since Trump took office: -Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7% -Utilities: ⬆️ 11% -ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26% -Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3% Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

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

🚨 DAILY REMINDER 🚨 I post this every day so we never forget Jan. 6, 2021. We saw the traitors in action. Never forget that Trump was their leader and he pardoned all of them. Never forget that the power of the people is greater than the people in power. #StayWoke #Pinks 🌸 🎥 @mjfree.bsky.social

I just finished my analysis about what comes next after last night’s blowout elections. Donald Trump and the GOP are going to do everything they can to rig the 2026 midterms. Become a premium member now to support Democracy Docket's mission and receive it straight to your inbox. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

Jack Smith investigated Donald Trump’s illegal, desperate attempts to overturn the 2020 election. He’s offered to testify. If Republicans have soooo many questions, why won’t they let him?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Wow

I’m 68. I’m concerned I won’t live to see this fixed. As a child I loved saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I was proud of the American flag. As a Jr High and Sr High school student, my eyes teared up singing America the Beautiful. Now, my stomach churns when I hear any of it. #Democracy is gone.

The GOP: the party of ‘family values’.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Grocery prices are rising at their fastest pace since January. Remember when all Trump talked about was how he would make groceries cheaper? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?si=hL7iRj1mg0QJoXoc

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
