Dear @electrifyamerica.com, I’m 6’ 3” tall. Putting the card reader/pay terminal at the level of crotch isn’t helpful when #ApplePay wants to validate me through FaceID. Apple also has some issue here in that FaceID is only when near the terminal. You guys need to figure this out.

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?

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social, for some of us, this was never about the optics of making healthcare an issue.
This was about preventing a premium spike for 20 million Americans.
The private insurance system is broken.

Incredible that Republicans refuse to expand the ACA subsidies but always manage to slip in some cushy little benefits for themselves.
Millions of $ to Senators (wonder how R-House reps feel about not being included 😏), and refused to add an amendment protecting taxpayers from paying for a ballroom.

Did you know that the government funding bill has a provision that forces the DOJ to give millions in taxpayer money to at least 8 Republican Senators investigated after the Jan 6 insurrection? Not exaggerating. And when I proposed an amendment last night to stop it, House Republicans voted it down.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi
