Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

As the Senate tries to defend a million dollar payday to 8 of their own - and as the House GOP tries to explain why they refused to amend the CR to strip it out, let's review exactly what it is they want restitution for. Brief thread:

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.
Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4

The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

So they shut down the Chan-Zuckerberg funded Primary School (whose mission was to provide support for children from low-income families) in favor of a secret, unlicensed school at home?

The oligarchy is seeing the collapse around them and retreating to their compounds, the rest of us be damned.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto neighbors complained about the noise, the presence of security and the hordes of traffic. Then, neighbors noticed that an unlicensed school appeared to be operating out of the Zuckerberg compound. They began a crusade to shut it down that did not end until summer 2025.

Yep! The NJ maga candidate clung desperately to Trump. The VA one successfully avoided him but wrapped herself in all the other maga slop (including some truly batshit speeches). Both lost. There is 1 functioning party left in the US.

If you can’t see this lesson…you might be Mike Johnson.

The maga response to this is some real “who’s on first” level buffoonery.

To recap:

-Tucker talking to Fuentes: bad
-Trump dining with Fuentes: good
-Heritage being cool w platforming antisemites: bad
-JD embracing nazi loving “young” republicans: good

Which is it, boys?

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

President smokescreen at it again.
A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.

A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.
The DEA said they arrested 171 ‘high ranking’ Sinaloa Cartel members. A Spotlight investigation found that’s not true. - The Boston Globe
A Globe investigation found that the federal agency misrepresented the stature of its targets, claiming cartel ties at a time when the Trump administration is taking lethal military action against such groups.

At least Vox had the good sense to ask whether this holds up to scrutiny, but a better headline would be “Group with preconceived notions selectively presents carefully selected data to support those notions.”

Here’s the data behind what a lot of us already knew: if trump was serious about making the country safer, he’d be sending money to the localities, not troops.

Of course, that would be an acknowledgment of Biden’s success doing exactly that, and that would hurt the child king’s feelings.

Stunning and really sad data point.

Reminder that trickle down economics is a cynical idea born from the morally bankrupt Reagan era with zero basis in economic reality, not some immutable concept.

If you’re looking for your trickle, check the Argentina bailout funds or trump’s vanity ballroom.
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
