You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

A federal judge is directing the #WhiteHouse to reinstate sign language interpreters at many press briefings months after they were abruptly removed. #disabilities #accessibility

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off. Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

Kim Davis who tried to get the #SupremeCourt to overturn same sex marriage now owes a gay couple $360k — Fabulous 🏳️‍🌈

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Earth to Democrats: Do NOT compromise on your shutdown demand. robertreich.substack.com/p/earth-to-d...

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I’m so fucking angry that these dumb, wealthy, donor-funded, feckless fucks fell for the okey-doke AGAIN! The Make Democrats Look Like Idiots Party wins AGAIN. You fucking assholes!!!

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

NO LIES DETECTED........

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

At some point we do need to reckon with the fact that this man probably had people killed for a photo op.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just went into Houston, Texas of all places and brought the house down. This part of his speech gives me chills. STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY!!

omg

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held. I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked. Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

We got to be getting close to the part where Melania tells us to eat cake.

Yesterday I thanked the DC Sandwich Guy for his passionate speech reminding us that everyone has the right to live freely. Today I want to thank the jury. They forced the prosecution to argue that a subway sandwich was a “weapon” capable of assault. Then they firmly told them it was ridiculous.

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

ATTN: If you were on the Sandwich Guy jury and you'd like to chat, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous! Please share this post!

Wonder what would happen if the contractor he stiffed on the White House ballroom job slapped a lien on it? Wouldn't THAT be priceless?

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Network edits, you say? Lawsuit time.

If you’re happy about SNAP benefits being cut & are going to church this morning you’re neither a Christian nor a good person. You’re a heartless cunt.

Sometimes it’s best not to respond and just leave things alone.
