The Democrats won big on Tuesday. The far-right's response? Slurs, slurs, and more slurs.

1: shoots gun at Capitol on J6 2: slueths tell fbi his name 3: he kills a man, claims self defense 4: he tells police he was the j6 gunman 5: he’s finally arrested 6: trump pardons him for j6 7: he allegedly kidnaps and sexually assaults someone www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

He was detained until Donald Trump pardoned him, and would almost certainly be in prison were it not for Trump’s pardon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

“The ripple effect on families, children, and communities is going to be enormous.”

Lindsey Graham complains about having to work ‘on a Saturday’ while ‘beautiful outside’

Republicans waged a relentless, decades-long campaign to privatize Medicare and Medicaid They fought even mild efforts to expand public insurance Now they are objecting to extending extra ACA subsidies, supposedly because money flows to private insurers We are supposed to take this seriously?

Now there are TWO lists the White House won't release. First it was the Epstein Files. Now it's who's paying for Trump's Golden Ballroom. Apparently, the only promises the President keeps are those that benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won? People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

Trump, who rushed to the Supreme Court on Friday, is hellbent in his refusal to bring much-needed aid to the country's neediest.

We knew that Republicans, who repeatedly flouted the rules and norms, would change the rules in a nanosecond if it blocked any significant part of their agenda. We will soon see if John Thunes long-standing commitment and his word mean anything. Count me a skeptic.

Thune and his colleagues, of course, have piously pledged over and over that they will never touch the filibuster, something they used over and over when Biden was president. Democrats who blocked change, including Manchin and Sinema, took that as gospel. Some of us knew better. 2

Instead of suggesting that he and Senate Republicans were talking with Senate Democrats to find a way out of this mess, John Thune gave Chuck Schumer the middle finger. Maybe that is a negotiating tactic. More likely, Thune, under Trump pressure, is laying the stage to blow up the filibuster. 1

You have to read between the lines here to imagine what President Trump is proposing. But, it sounds like it may be a plan for health accounts that could be used for insurance that doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions, which could create a death spiral in ACA plans that do.

Now we know why he’s going to their game tomorrow.

“The visible presence of overwhelming numbers of troops in the streets has a psychological component. You display dominance & make examples of people who resist — except instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities.” | PN www.publicnotice.co/p/don-moynih...

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House? GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

Trump was at his golf club in Palm Beach when this was posted

You won’t believe what a TSA worker said to me

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

This is an absolute must read. Perfect.

Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance

Ed Martin has the impulse control of a toddler but far worse judgment. I bet Todd Blanche forced him at (figurative) gunpoint to delete those tweets. Very interesting that the replacement tweet from his account refers to him in the third person.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Nothing illustrates our time better than #OpenAI admitting they'll need taxpayer money while people await their #SNAPBenefits. My latest, up now at Substack. open.substack.com/pub/reedgale...

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago: A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility. “Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

I will never attend a single game at Trump Stadium.

… so what did he do this year?

“The everyday quality of human rights was the point. It was not one ideology against another. The dissidents made no grand claims and advanced no grand worldviews but rather tried to tell everyday truths, advance everyday causes, realize everyday virtues.”

An authoritarian leader praising the “good work” of the White House Press Secretary, and her public thanks in return, shows their shared values. It should be a warning to us all.

"We've dropped infertility drugs to make lots of trump babies. I'm hoping by the midterms".......aside from the obvious creepiness, the gop have chosen to not use contingency funds for SNAP when 15 million babies & children rely on SNAP to not starve. #Pinks

Seafood spread and ice sculpture at Mar-a-Lago as Trump continues to starve poor children

The shutdown is at 39 days but SNAP has only been cut for 8 and we're already seeing massive demand for food pantries, desperate pleas for direct help and assistance on related things like helping people keep pets. This is precarity at its highest. While the rich get richer.

The Trump administration’s reckless legal maneuvers sidelined workers and threatened to raise consumer costs by millions. Luckily, Attorneys General AG Neronha and AG Tong aren’t afraid of a fight. The latest episode of Making the Case is out now.

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
