Senate unanimously advances resolution suspending senators’ pay during shutdown #TheHill

“Do you know that it is a crime to lie to Congress?” the Maryland Dem asked. Patel scowled & loudly reshuffled papers at his table. “I have not lied to Congress” he said. He accused the sen. of lying. He refused to look up. But as Van Hollen noted, Patel repeatedly sidestepped the actual question.

Two days ago they were supposedly “begging for a deal” again for the 29th time in 9 weeks.

The Art of Hoping for a Deal

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

Meanwhile, in Moscow. 😂

This is the crux of my argument in this piece: Let's not play dumb about the real intent behind Trump/MAGA bullying Dems to accept the ballroom, which is to get them to symbolically submit to dictatorial rule by getting them to genuflect before Trump's building of a Caesar-like monument to himself.

What made John Brown a great man was not actually that he was a "great" man. It was that he recognized himself as a regular man that rejected white supremacy. And was willing to die for that. That when he saw another Black face, he saw a human like himself. May 9, 1800 he was born

Exactly this

Remember this

ABC just sued Trump in a major lawsuit for violating their First Amendment rights. www.reuters.com/business/med...

I mean, this is not wrong…

Donald is such a ass

Just horrendous

Outrageous

Terrific news

"Patel has walled himself off from some senior bureau leaders this week in the wake of multiple media reports that raised red flags about his leadership, according to three people familiar with his recent actions."

tRump just killed “Operation Unshit the Bed” (rebranded “Project Freedom”) after it collapsed in hours—ships stranded, Iran striking back, gas prices exploding. His brilliant plan? Two escorts & a prayer. MAGA foreign policy: chaos, surrender, & $5 gas. Total failure. mcsp.short.gy/7wSK

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

Pete Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions & unwilling to take ownership of your own choices." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Say what?

Well…. This explains a great deal of the last few days events Super interesting and actually a tad bit surprising since someone from the Royal family encouraged this War of Choice, the #EpsteinWar

Republicans and Trump, the criminal imbecile they facilitate, only point fingers, mostly at things they’ve fabricated or caused themselves. They offer no solutions. The only policies they offer remove benefits from working families to benefit corporations. Otherwise, they deflect. Will it be better?

The FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation focusing on Atlantic magazine journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick, who wrote that deeply unflattering account of Kash Patel's work habits. There is deep concern about this approach among some of the FBI agents. www.ms.now/news/fbi-inv...

Kash Patel travels with supply of personalized bourbon — spelled 'KA$H': report #RawStory

hahaha holy shit! The same day it's reported that Kash Patel sicced the FBI on the Atlantic reporter behind the story about him being drunk on the job, she drops another banger about him handing out personalized FBI-branded bourbon bottles to staff and friends. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Yeah, it looks as though by investigating a reporter as a retaliatory move, Ka$h really succeeded at intimidating the Atlantic from publishing further scoo— … wait, this just in:

What the....

Can someone please explain to me how presidential immunity comes into play when he committed the crime of rape before he was president and he actually lied about her and he certainly did commit defamation of character against her #USDemocracy www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

A study on Covid vaccines showed that this yr's vaccines were 53-55% effective against hospitalizations. Jay Bhattacharya did not want it to be released. The article did not get published in the CDC's flagship journal. This is solid science by experts. 🧪 insidemedicine.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
