Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Noem is mad about the whistles. Good job everyone.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Feeling it. Let’s do it.

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

underrated bit of handwaving in the lizza blog

Brutally accurate.

Or just move them to a minimum security Club Fed and give them a puppy and yoga classes.

“.. The United States is now a nation run by public servants who behave no better than internet trolls .. “.. Trump’s sexist comments are an attack on women’s dignity — and by making them, he strips the presidency of its dignity too.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won. This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.

Deeply grateful to all who have sent well wishes and prayers since hearing about Mom’s hospitalization—and to all of the medical professionals taking good care of her.

“I’m ice, boys” - ice employee caught soliciting a minor

😬

Quiet, piggy.

Trump on MBS: "He's investing $1 trillion into the United States." (The entire GDP of Saudi Arabia is $1.1 trillion, so yeah, this isn't happening)

🎯🎯

All those House Republican frauds who voted for the exact same discharge petition they refused to sign for months hoping it would never come to the floor are now trying to act like they always supported it.

Yeah, I dont know Gym … bsky.app/profile/atru...

You've probably seen Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the airwaves denouncing the "toxic politics" in the United States. Let's look at who helped make these politics so toxic.

Trump orders his DOJ to investigate only Democrats mentioned in the Epstein Files. He then tells Rs to vote to release them. My take on Trump's moves to gaslight Americans into thinking he wants it all out there & how the US Atty/SDNY is about to step in it big time. youtu.be/j3WBisAhkfU?...

Might be a limited job market when the first two lines on your resume are: 1) fired by OAN as producer of Matt Gaetz show for posting a anti-Semitic video, and 2) chief of staff for George Santos until he was removed from Congress after a fraud indictment.

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Courier compiled 23,000 Epstein emails into a searchable database… Donald Trump's name appears more than any other. And that’s just from these emails. Who knows how many times in 100,000 files.”

MASSIVE BREAKING: The US Senate just agreed to pass the Epstein Transparency Act by a voice vote of unanimous consent. It will now be sent to Trump to sign into law!

“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

The extent of Epstein’s social network knows no bounds, but it certainly knows Donald Trump

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Man, CBS must feel really stupid right now! Just kidding, CBS wasn't settling a lawsuit. They were paying a bribe and they knew it.

Two asshole thugs mocking a political murder. Great fuckin’ country we have here.

Economic gloom spreads … #EconSky

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

When pigs fly.

Narrator: A jury held Trump liable for sexual abuse.

Live your life in a way that your name and misdeeds aren’t on Time Square shame billboards.

Well, it isn't liberals or progressives calling MAGA a bunch of Nazis...it's Laura Loomer.

Jamal Khashoggi. Say his name.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Texas from implementing its new congressional map that discriminates against voters of color for the 2026 midterm elections. This ruling reaffirms that voters get to choose our politicians, not the other way around.

A couple thousand dollars doesn’t even begin to make up for how much Trump’s plan to eliminate ACA tax credits will cost American families. No deal.
