NEW: Trump pardons the husband of GOP Rep. Diana Harshbarger.

Bob Harshbarger pleaded guilty to fraud & distributing kidney drugs from China that weren't FDA approved.

His wife was an officer in the company, but claimed she wasn't involved.

The WH says the pardon was not related to his last name

Good news in the caving by the 8 Dem Senators.

Johnson has no rationale to not seat our latest Dem from AZ and the CR on Epstein is still sitting there.

Focus goes from SNAP, Heating Oil and RIFs to ACA and Epstein.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

I can see the logic.

This
- burns the scotus appeal
- forces 1st circuit to take a position more quickly
- forces visibility of any power admin has to actually stop money already flowing, people have to go on record
- some states gonna be real mad if they didn't get $ already and it stops

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Federal workers are furloughed. Veterans can’t access benefits. SNAP is blocked. Families are choosing between groceries and rent.

She's a rockstar as was Tip. The R's are all a forgotten bunch of alchis, pedos, and losers.
I have known Nancy Pelosi since she came to the House. She is simply the greatest Speaker ever. But she also is an extraordinary person. In my moment of greatest personal grief she was there for me and my family. She will leave a remarkable legacy.

Simple message. Also, he was ordered to do so by a court.

Too bad the MSM is so corrupt they can't report it accurately.
Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”
