while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

The upshot: it doesn’t have to be this way. There are solutions.

A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬
DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Breaking tradition, judges are now speaking to the public through their rulings to warn of democratic backsliding. As Trump bulldozes history in real time, judges across America are putting the facts into the permanent record– where he can’t touch them. #Velshi
America’s judges are creating a record Trump can’t erase
Federal judges across the country are issuing extraordinary warnings as Donald Trump tests the limits of presidential power and pushes the nation toward authoritarianism. In a rare move, Judge Susan Graber urged Americans to “retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer,” as lower courts work to restrain Trump’s overreach. These judges aren’t just issuing rulings— they’re preserving the factual record at the very moment Trump is trying to erase history, collective memory, and truth itself.
