In retrospect, maybe when he said "grab 'em by the pussy," he meant "grab 'em by the pussy." But who could have known, really?

I just learned about Patriotic Millionaires a couple of days ago. They've got a game plan for how to change things. It's called the Money Agenda. Big changes need to happen, folks.
Extreme wealth—and that includes obscene CEO payouts—is bad for society as a whole.

Because extreme wealth translates into extreme power that threatens the stability of our economy, our democracy, the freedom of the press and media, and our planet. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Maybe someone should tell Megyn R. Kelly 15 is not “barely legal”, it’s actually quite illegal?

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.

The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.

The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.

The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

This is State Senator and President Pro-Tem of the Missouri Senate, Cindy O’Laughlin.

They don’t care. They never did. They like conspiracy theories because it makes them feel like they know more than other people, but they are in a cult. If their cult, leader is implicated, they disengage.

CNN: The judge said there was funding available to fully fund SNAP and you didn't use it

BROOKE ROLLINS: That judge in Rhode Island is the largest Democrat donor

CNN: Is it not factual that the judge said $4b could've been used to fully fund SNAP?

ROLLINS: That is not facts

"This is never going to be ok." Rep. Grijalva calls for formal legislation to make sure new members are sworn in promptly after Mike Johnson showed that good faith and norms cannot be counted on.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Fresh from their six-week paid vacation, Speaker Johnson finally swore in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. A majority of the House has signed the discharge petition for full release of the Epstein File. Let’s vote.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Any deal that does not include an extension of #ACA subsidies should be a nonstarter for Dems—

But at least 10 Senate #Dems are expected to support a procedural motion to end shutdown
