Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

The whole arrangement isn't even made yet, & Mikey is already saying he won't guarantee there'll be a vote on health care subsidies. I know Ds were in a hard place; they have hearts & therefore hated the idea of people doing without food, a damage a bit more immediate than healthcare. /1/

Yup. Hypocrisy is the dominant characteristic of the MAGAts.

What is absurd is the talking heads saying ‘people figuring out how to pay these new rates’ !
Out of touch assholes! Nobody has that much more money they can just move around to ‘figure it out’
No. You will just need a crappy policy that does nothing. Such clueless non middle class tv people

As much as I despise the idea of the Democrats compromising to open the gov't., this action proved that it truly is the R way or the Highway as far as the Republican party is concerned. They are deliberately, relentlessly, aming to hurt and kill Americans. youtu.be/utzwo5LnX4I?...

What's going on here is that one of the attendees apparently passed out; everyone in the room except one went, in concern, to see about that person. And Mr. T didn't know what to do, so there he stood. There's a LOT of meaning in that photo.
incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Election results are looking good. In GA, for now, both Ds are running ahead in the PSC election. Send us good thoughts!!

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.
I had it exactly backward.

Truth!!!
If there was a govt shutdown going into its 4th week & millions were at risk of losing food stamps but a Dem POTUS was spending his time tearing down half the WH to make way for a $350M ballroom instead of meeting w/Congressional leaders. the media would meltdown like Chernobyl

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Ah--perhaps you've put your finger on it, indeed.

Wow, facts are hard things when you figure out the math and then publish it. Wonder how many MAGAts will never even think about the division of this "gift"?
Gonna keep repeating this;
There's currently 2.86 million military personnel including the D.o.D civilian staff needed to support them.
$130,000,000 / 2,860,000 people = a one-time payment of $45.45 cents apiece.
Here's hoping they don't spend it all in one place.

Very accurate. T believes he IS the govt and has the right to do literally ANYTHING HE PLEASES. I don't understand why we're still acting like there is anything left of normalcy in the fed govt; and Johnson is nothing more than a toady and puppet. 🤮

McCarthy had lists, too. "Admin officials" asked about the destruction of supposted "narco" boats "informed Congress that they have 'a secret list of over 20 narco organizations, drug trafficking cartels,' but they did not share the list with lawmakers." BC like McC, they CAN'T. Imaginary, like McC

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?
By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.
Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?
Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout.
