McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Newly released Epstein documents include mention of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon
"Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)" one scheduling note says. Musk previously said he declined island invites.

We moved to adjourn.
We offered amendments to lower healthcare costs & block their payday for pro-insurrection Senators (yes, really—look it up).

We all know a hungry child can't learn.
But Republicans' government shutdown is threatening SNAP and Head Start—forcing parents out of work and kids to go hungry.
This hurt and harm is undeniable—and it's 100% preventable.

I joined CT AG William Tong to announce a lawsuit filed by 25 states & DC over the Trump administration‘s refusal to release almost $6B in emergency funds so families won’t see SNAP benefits interrupted starting Nov. 1st. I am grateful to live in a state that fights for our residents at every level.

In 5 days, SNAP benefits run out for 42 MILLION Americans. This crisis is completely avoidable.
Right now, Trump's sitting on billions of dollars in reserve funding for exactly this purpose but choosing not to use it. He'd rather let people go hungry.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
