Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

This is Schumer's contact information to send him an email. I called 202-224-3121 to leave a voicemail and then sent him an email. Capitulation is unthinkable at this point. I am so fucking mad that he's considering this.

@durbin.senate.gov don’t even think about caving if ACA Subsidies aren’t included. My husband lost his job, I’m a vet & disabled & we’re counting on you to HOLD THE LINE.
Or maybe Senate Democrats are aware of how pissed off voters will be?
This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.
Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

To those in the streets:
Your footsteps are not requests—
they’re demands carved into pavement.
You do not whisper—you roar
for the silenced, the stolen, the ignored.
No kings, no crowns—
only the fury of people done kneeling.
Let the ground remember every step
and let power tremble at your march.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
