Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

Q: Is your anticipation that Trump is going to try to remain in the White House after 2028?
CHRIS MURPHY: Sure. I think right now he is trying to scheme a way to stay.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

AfD hails US ban on European leftwing groups as historians fear anti-fascist crackdown
German far-right party urges Berlin and other European nations to also designate networks as terrorist organisations
Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has welcomed the US government’s decision to classify a prominent German anti-fascist group and three other European networks as terrorist organisations, calling on Berlin and other European governments to follow the example.
But historians of antifascism warned that at a time when far-right groups were making electoral gains across the continent, the move set a dangerous precedent that could prepare the ground for a broader crackdown on leftwing activism. Continue reading...

Kennedy acts like a dumb hick, but he's an ivy league opportunist. He knows, very well, where this is headed.
Sen. John Kennedy on Epstein: "I just don't think this issue is gonna go away until it's addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it."

This number is completely made up. There are not 30 million undocumented immigrants. The most recent estimates are around 14 million, of which roughly 8 million people have been here for over a decade.
Vance is not a fool. He knows this. DHS produces official estimates. They don’t say 30 million.

“We don’t have the data, as Trump wanted, so we should just do what Trump wants.” What can you say? The system works.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer on jobs data: "Sometimes it's too late to get accurate data points ... we don't have that accurate data for the Fed to make a good decision, but I believe the Fed needs to cut interest rates again in December to really prop up this economy."

Assessments of government action on climate change—and public desire for climate action—should always explicitly consider how much cajoling and lobbying and pressure from oil and gas there is to do nothing.
