Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I wonder what happened in January? Anyone anyone

DEMOCRACY NOW is the best fact-based Gaza war reporting. They don't obscure the massive evil being done by genocidal Netanyahu and the barbarian Israeli "Settlers" murdering innocent Palestinians in their olive groves in the West Bank; groves which the settlers often burn down; bulldoze their homes.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

ICE in Portland: “Dear God, they’re Jazzercising in formation! Light ‘em up!”

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

a reminder as always that indictments are NOT descriptions of things that actually happened, they are descriptions of what PROSECUTORS say happened

The Trump administration want to burn almost $10 million dollars of contraception. These products have been paid for by our tax dollars and still desperately needed by women. Tell Secretary Rubio to stop cruel and wasteful burn! https://www.momsrising.org/blog/stop-the-cruel-and-wasteful-burn

Americans are being forced to gamble with their lives. GOP cuts to the ACA mean premiums could double or triple—while food and rent skyrocket. Millions will lose coverage unless Republicans stop playing politics and do their damn jobs. #RepublicansAreAWOL

I don’t want to give the answer away, but his initials are DJT.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Yes, what the fuck???

A middle finger to erasure. More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage. This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Things like this keep happening.

“RECORD LOWS for Trump on economic approvals… breaking his own historic lows…”

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress canceled talks to avoid a destructive shutdown. They’re intent on inflicting economic pain and spiking healthcare costs. Make no mistake: they own this shutdown. #RepublicansAreAWOL

On Friday morning, not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic. Six days ago, 41 vessels were scheduled to depart China for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. On Friday, it was zero. ZERO.
