I know this and yet still got upset because the elections actually gave me hope and I let my guard down

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Ed Martin seemed to explicitly link the pardons to his “No MAGA left behind” mantra—tweeting the news in reply to a post that said exactly that. In addition to his role as pardon attorney, Martin leads the Weaponization Working Group, which probes alleged “politicization” of the Justice Department.

Everyone’s like “so what do these pardons DO??” and honestly I’d say it probably has more to do with this than anything substantive, at least for now It’s a communicative pardon

The fact him or one of his staffers would post this on *this* platform is yet another sign of how unfit this man is to do anything other than retire.

In Trump v Anderson, the decision that claimed Congress needed to recognize the Section 3 disability for it to apply, the examples cited by the court DID NOT REQUIRE a majority of either chamber of Congress. But, it did say that Congress could apply it at any time with “no limits”. Just saying.

I just want to say, randomly, that a pardon is an acknowledgment of guilt. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment still exists. Anyone in office who is also technically covered by this pardon is eligible for Section 3 of the 14th amendment.

Judge Rikelman, a Biden appointee, writes the opinion, and notes a questionable argument of DOJ and the slipshod actions of USDA this past week. These were points noted at Law Dork on Friday — www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi... — and Sunday: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-says-f...

You gotta wonder why Democrats thought it necessary to cave at nearly midnight on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. Because the optics are shit.

"I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment."

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”

BREAKING: We just got the First Circuit's ruling in the Rhode Island SNAP case: The petition for stay pending appeal is denied in part. (waiting for the full doc to hit PACER)

Make no mistake, the billionaires are in charge. There are differences between Democrats and Republicans but they both answer to the same informal conspiracy walled garden party of rich elites playing monopoly with our lives for their profit and pleasure.

Fury as Indonesia declares late authoritarian ruler Suharto a national hero

The base can handle some kayfabe but not when Republicans are torching the constitution and abducting people off the street.

"millions of people counting on us"

DHS/ICE used an Olivia Rodrigo song for a video on Instagram and after calling them disgusting, Olivia's team allegedly pulled the song for use on Insta so the video has no background music. This is the second time she's done this - previously it was a tiktok song.

Important to note that these pardons — which cover federal crimes that were not going to be prosecuted by the Trump administration — were announced just over an hour ago via a reply to a tweet. This news was not shared by reporters for a while because it was missed due to the way it was announced.

BREAKING: Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.

Looking forward to Ed’s response.

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

At 11:54 p.m. ET, the First Circuit *denied* the Trump administration's request for a stay pending appeal in the SNAP case. #SCOTUS now has 48 hours (so, through 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday) to either grant the same relief or extend the "administrative stay" entered by Justice Jackson on Friday night.

BREAKING The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states. The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms. Doc ecf.ca1.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servl...

SINCERE POST™️: you might be very angry tonight. don't let that anger eat you. that doesn't mean "don't be angry." just don't let it turn you to despair. anger in an energy, and you can use it as fuel for actions. As the saying goes, let this radicalize you

I am working on a story that involves some of the ways people really are standing up in this moment. There really is a groundswell and it's not coming from DC.

We can really trust these Republicans, guys! They really care about healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is most directly about the fake electors (none of whom face any federal charges anyway) but the actual wording of it is much broader: it's effectively a full and complete blanket pardon for anybody who had anything to do with trying to steal the 2020 election, not just the Jan 6-ers.

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

I will be thinking for the rest of my life about how Virginia voters moved 13 points left and gave Dems so much power in the state ... Only for Tim Kaine to thank them like this.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

if you wanna blame somebody I think Mark Warner is a pretty good choice. also I think a lot of the Biden Go drama was because Warner thought he could and should be President. he's on the ballot in 2026 and does not afaik have a primary challenger

The correct thing to do is to make every Senate Democrat beg for mercy. They’re all guilty. If not for this vote, then for letting Schumer remain leader after the previous nonsense in March.

It also includes “any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election…” bsky.app/profile/anna...

Notably, this pardon comes just days ahead of a Nov. 14 deadline for the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to appoint a replacement prosecutor for Fani Willis, who was disqualified from pursuing the case.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse. But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000. Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home. Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.

All of our leaders hate us and don’t care if we suffer or die

Ladies we need you!! These people need to feel social mortification every where they go. Catch them outside. They shouldn’t be able to eat a meal without them knowing about about the kids who didn’t eat one because they decided to be a Vichy government

lol Rand Paul may slow the whole reopen process down over an intra Kentucky feud over hemp (and probably bourbon) www.politico.com/live-updates...

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.
