A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

MAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law.
First, no it’s not.
Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean.
Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

I listened to several younger Democrats running for office in Iowa last weekend, and I’m telling you, Iowa and other states in the heartland have had enough.
2026 is going to be hard on Republicans, which is why they are going to try to limit voting. Pay attention.
