So we're going to paralyze the ability to get things like food to the grocery stores to appease the fascists in DC?

All of these Nazis need to go. To prison. With a quickness.

States will regret giving out tax breaks like candy as companies get deeper into mass layoffs in the hopes of converting all human labor to machines and AI.
This leaves Intel with a little more than 16,000 Oregon workers, fewer than at any point since 2012.

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

These fqrs.
Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators.
People can't afford their food or health care and yet, Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.

MAGA collapse is here & it's an important moment. Before jumping in to say we told you so, read this person's experience. It's a real thing.
Please don't browbeat them.
It doesn't matter.
Allow them an exit strategy.
They're the ones who can lead others out of the cult.

We should welcome MAGA remorse: I should know — it saved me
Many Trump voters have doubts. There will be a gradual, and then sudden, awakening. We must be ready to help

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.

Good. I hope it downs him as well as all the Republicans for doing everything in their power to protect him.
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

I personally recommend The Guardian.com and The Independent.co.uk for starters - also The Atlantic and Apnews.com There are a bunch of great independent journalists on Substack.com now, too.

The legacy media have largely failed us.

The Guardian has no billionaire or corporate owner: funded by readers, our fierce independence is guaranteed

A provision of this current bill to restart the government is that several Republican Senators will be paid a very large sum because the FBI looked at their phone records.

They are literally paying the politicians who participated in the January 6th insurrection!

Unfuckingbelievable!

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"
