Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

He lost the 2020 election. He knew it. He lied about it. And now he’s demanding your money because knowingly lying didn’t make him President.
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help," is actually a pretty good slogan and aspiration for a political party.
I suspect a huge part of the reason Republicans are taking the heat for the shutdown is that ending federal programs across the board *just is* the GOP brand. Dems are the party of a government here to help you, & Republicans aren't, so of course as federal programs fail, everyone knows who to blame
With Trump and his cronies using the shutdown as cover to shut off the food stamp program, food banks will soon be flooded with demand from the 42 million Americans--including 16 million kids--who rely on the program. Which means the rest of us will need to step up and give whatever we can.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Trump’s ICE is hiring goons with no firearms training, whatsoever. 🤪

This goofy fool pulls out his gun to aim at unarmed protesters who are filming, but he FUMBLES IT and EJECTS THE CLIP. He doesn’t notice this and picks it up to aim at the unarmed protesters, anyway. 😩

We are not safe.

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

On Friday the Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of the annual report on consumer expenditures—a key report for understanding inflation—without explanation.

Minorities make up 60% of Texas’s population and even drove 95% of the state’s growth in the most recent Census. Yet their new map cuts their share of districts from 34% to 21%.

Every one of these guys represents more than $100k a year. All wasted doing this because they aren't street cops and they aren't trained to be. Why? Trump is in the Epstein files and failing as a fucking President. He needs this pretend bullshit to distract the dumbest among us, AKA MAGA.
