Husband, dad, nature lover, advocate. Uncomfortable truths.
Am I the only one who suspects that the FBI and AG are threatening to file federal charges against Boebert’s son, who was arrested for stealing (and making unauthorized charges) on credit cards?
Trump trying to get GOP to block release of files.
WP: White House officials have sought to enlist Ms. Bondi and Mr. Patel in the lobbying effort directed at getting Ms. Boebert to remove her name from the discharge petition, according to people familiar with the matter.

“.. in the Situation Room.” 👀
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

@fetterman.senate.gov I hear you. But there is nothing “extreme” about basic access to health care.

62% of Democrats disapprove of the job you are doing.

If your little gamble with the ACA does not pan out, will you admit you were wrong, or continue to blame your fellow Democrats?
The guy who literally survived a stroke because of accessible healthcare now parrots GOP talking points that healthcare is extreme. Fuck off, Fetterman.

“What happened to America First?”
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?

The trickery is that there is a special election in TN on December 2. It is a GOP vacancy, if they win that seat then Johnson hopes to swear in another No vote.
Good morning! Adelita Grijalva is supposed to be sworn in by Mike Grindr Johnson today at 4pm EST. Will there be GOP trickery, or will the victims finally get disclosure, and perhaps justice?

This is some screwed up shit.

I can see accidentally arresting a firefighter.

But to go out and arrest a firefighter on-duty while he is fighting fires?

Politically stupid, morally bankrupt.
José's crew spent a week in August battling the Bear Gulch fire, then a 9,000-acre blaze + largest in 70+ years in WA’s Olympic Peninsula.

Border Patrol showed up to his remote forest location, surrounded the crew + ultimately arrested José + another immigrant firefighter.

"It’s backstabbing.”

McGovern: Republicans are literally subsidizing an entirely different country instead of keeping families in North Carolina or Minnesota or Texas or Indiana from going bankrupt if they face emergency hospital bills.

Important reminder that The Heritage Foundation has always been xenophobic.

My dad was calling out the Coors family in the 70’s. They had a reputation for being sympathizers. Very anti-union. They associated unions with Communism, and anti-unionism with Fascism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

@popeleoxiv.bsky.social is the most popular public figure in America right now.

Net Fav +50. Wow.

@aoc.bsky.social is -4. Could be better. But she’s better than Congress. Better than Trump. Better than Schumer.

Leo is earning a lot of respect.

I wish him well.

never subtweet @fetterman.senate.gov

Also, totally unfair to Manchin.

Manchin is a conservative, but he never pretended to be something that he was not.
In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

We should stop hoping for @senangusking.bsky.social to pull a magic bunny out of his ass, switch gears, and fight for Medicare for All @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov
Unless they pull out a victory on ACA later, this is the Democratic wall of shame.

It only takes 2-3 years to train a new air traffic controller, I am sure it will all be fine.
Sean Duffy’s been telling us for months that we have a critical shortage of air traffic controllers in this country which is causing serious safety issues in air travel, then Trump comes out today & calls them a bunch of traitors if they took a day off & encourages them to quit.

Come on, they are not going to resign their offices.
