Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Q: You talked about the Hudson River Tunnel in NYC. Is the funding terminated?

So if I’m following JD Vance correctly, the democrats are making them fire massive amounts of government workers so that they can pay the troops during the democrat shutdown and unrelated all the troops are being paid using tariff revenue.

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

That can’t confirm their identities because they don’t know who they were. But somehow they knew they were criminals who needed to be detained. They just don’t know who they were. But they were criminals, probably!
Kristi Noem still can't confirm who was killed during the shooting at the ICE facility today and can't even confirm that the victim's family has been contacted

What’s funnier? Impeaching a president with thousands of counts, or impeaching him every day for two years?
We know the senate will never convict so this would be purely for the lolz.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

For those playing along at home, DJT is invading Chicago in the name of Katie Abraham, a young woman killed by a drunk driver 3.5 hours away. This would be the equivalent of invading New York for something that happened in Marthas Vineyard. Or Brighton England for something that happened in Paris.
