MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

My sense is that Trump and Republicans will cave in this shutdown fight (he won’t admit he’s caving, of course, but he will cave). Why? Air traffic controllers. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-the-shutdown-ends

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

“They” is not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. “Them" is also not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century. Chaya Raichik is a dangerous, bigoted fool.

Not this SCOTUS

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Fired for displaying a pride flag, followed by a citation of the Constitution.

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

"...listen up chucklefucks, because Pete Hegseth downed a 32oz of vodka and rolled onto that stage and delivered a rousing address to the military that makes the St. Crispin’s Day speech look like a PowerPoint from Brenda in HR."

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

🎯 SEN. YARBRO: “Historically bad decision by Gov. Bill Lee to voluntarily sign up for whatever in the hell this is.”

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Gov. Whitmer signs bipartisan bill to expand property rights protections share.google/oDORjy7xmqwS...

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Well… the whole world can now see that the emperor is naked. How embarrassing.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

💯 they want to scare people.

For real it’s not like Johnson or Thune have done a damn thing since they gained control of the govt. The gop is the most ineffectual and destructive party to ever exist, they can’t govern and all they do is lie and worship an orange blob of hate.

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Gee, I wonder why?

Time for the military to surround the White House because the enemy is within those walls.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Our top generals are sitting through a deranged rant from a man who cares more about his grudges than our country. Let’s hope the leaders in that room are the ones who see through it and stand firm against unlawful orders.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I need to share something positive b/c our current government makes me sick. Last nights sunset was stunning. “May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace.” – Umair Siddiqui

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

What a farce. We have the most corrupt regime controlling our government right now.

Curtis Sliwa and I don't agree on much. But we do agree on this: City Hall is not for sale. You can't say the same for Cuomo or Adams.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.
