Having an inarticulate man who has never been in a grocery store give an inaccurate speech to people who are in grocery stores all the time that is full of easily disproven lies about how grocery prices are going down isn't a winning "affordability" strategy.

Both of them are falling prey to the misconception that this is a zero-sum game: either native-born get the job or foreign-born do. They can’t see the basic truth that the more talent flocks to America, the more jobs and prosperity there will be for everyone.

Trump told Fox News he doesn’t believe that people are anxious about money.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

“I haven’t seen the emails. I haven’t read them. I don’t even know what emails are.” - Mike Johnson this morning, probably.

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

🚨 🚨🚨🚨 Email from Epstein to Maxwell alleges that Trump spent “hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim Release the files.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Time to get back to what really matters:

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Father David has something to say to John Roberts. #USDemocracy

Prove me wrong.

Another great group of people put together by @jodywagner.bsky.social make sure to follow and share. Thank you very much for including me

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium. It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year. So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Thank you, Gov. Evers!

Kitties in the sunshine. #caturday

🚨 Trump is following Project 2025 to starve Americans, kids: Project 2025: "the White House must strongly support these reforms... there would be opposition from left-of-center groups who do not want to reform SNAP and would expand welfare and dependency—such as through universal free school meals"

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better. Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it. They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years! His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years. What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

⚠️ It should make every American sick that the Supreme Court is siding with a man fighting to not feed hungry children.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

It’s tough being the oldest president in history. Low energy! Sad!

The Washington Post editorial board can collectively go fuck themselves.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Cutting flights because of the govt shutdown is a stunt, plain and simple

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America" Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

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

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…
