It’s sad that we need a dead man's emails to believe the testimony of hundreds of living women.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Saying "Quiet piggy" to a female journalist on the eve of the Epstein files vote is a red lights flashing, sirens-blaring perp self-own.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

I tried telling people years ago that Reagan isn’t as sweet as everyone thought. I grew up admiring him, then learned about the Carter fiasco. Over the years Carter showed just how a true man helps those in need, and didn’t screw over others to get it done either.

End the Shutdown 🚨

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.
Judges rule that Trump must fund SNAP immediately. Now the question remains, will Trump simply ignore the courts like he's prone to do? This is the biggest lever the GOP has to try and force Dems to cave on extending ACA subsidies and they're hammering on it like a child with a noisy new toy.
Live updates: Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule
Two federal judges ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, during the government shutdown.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Just spent 2 days of wasted time with my drug plan for Medicare. They used an AI bot to harass me for not filling a prescription that I no longer need. And while I was on the phone with them, lmk that one of my active scripts will no longer be covered. No alternatives were offered.

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.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

Like it’s insane. The GOP argument on face value (and it’s a lie by the way) is that the government should be shutdown to ensure that some undocumented worker that gets injured working a field somewhere can’t get treated in a hospital.

That’s their stupid argument
