Translation: he has no idea how insurance works

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.

The Supreme Court won’t hear the same-sex marriage case!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

If, according to Trump, the government doesn’t have the tariff money available to refund all of it if he loses the lawsuit before SCOTUS, how can he be talking about giving away trillions in $2,000 checks?

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

This is not “another Lucy and the football”. Lucy’s not even holding the fuckin ball and eight Senate Dems are running up for the kick anyway.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

No health care, no deal.

Rep. Mike Simpson R-ID ignores Democrats on the floor and adjourns the House until next Monday. Adelita Grijalva was elected on Sept. 23 and still has not been sworn into office.

Trump: "I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

Mike Johnson has a constitutional duty to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Americans are demanding Congress release the Epstein files.

After federal agents descended on a Home Depot parking lot in Los Angeles this week, they arrested a U.S. citizen they said attacked them — and then drove off with the man’s toddler. Advocates say it underscores how agents have pushed legal boundaries across the U.S.

Q: “Last month, you said that you would not withdraw US troops from Europe, yet two weeks later, the Pentagon…decided to withdraw a significant number of troops from Romania. Have you changed your mind, or did the Pentagon ignore your assurance?” Trump: “No. They don't ignore anything that I say.”

New campaign ad for Dems just dropped.

NEW: Republicans added a slew of party insiders to the North Carolina Board of Elections, including a former aide to the legislator behind the state’s new gerrymander. The appointments mark the latest sign of the GOP’s board takeover as it prepares for next year’s election.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This year, the Roberts majority has let states ban medical care for trans kids, and let Trump expel trans troops and make trans people erase themselves to travel abroad. And Roberts et al aren't done: they're gonna strike down states' conversion therapy bans and uphold states' trans athlete bans.
