BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

A tight fitting N95 respirator provides good protection against airborne transmission and infection. It’s also critical to stay home when having symptoms. Taking precautions protects each other. 💛😷 #MaskTogetherAmerica

Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social, we’ll all be rewatching An American President tonight in honor of Rob Reiner, which is lucky tor us. It’s a great movie.
(If memory serves, Annette Bening has some lines about Congress’ inaction on gun violence which will be apt).

The Trump admin is about to cut housing grants for the formerly homeless.

HUD plans to cut aid for permanent housing by 66%, slashing over $2 billion and leaving 170,000 people at risk of homelessness again.

Everyone who would be affected is disabled, and many are 50 or older.

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.

Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.

Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

What is happening in the Senate tonight is a travesty and betrayal for every person who depends on ACA subsidies.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

Given that Trump's favorite White House spot in troubled times, the bunker, is in the currently pummeled East Wing, I wonder if the part of the ballroom we're not hearing about is beneath it will be a vastly expanded safe space for shit bombing autocrats to hide in.

So can we be expecting the appropriate headlines like, "Trump Posts AI Video of King Trump Dumping Shit All Over Americans" or nah?

Is the media going to pretend this is normal because it's just Trump being Trump or will they pretend it never happened?
