This shutdown marks the first time that Democrats are not whining about rule-breaking or norms—they’re calling attention to a GOP that is engineering a wealth transfer scam from the poorest to the richest.

It won’t be an easy fight, but it’s a BFD that it’s happening at all. trib.al/JeOptF1
The Democrats Finally Grew a Spine
By daring Trump and the Republicans to shut down the government, the party is taking a stand six months after it should have.

GABBARD: Yes I was

REED: Were you using your private phone or public phone for Signal?

GABBARD: I won't speak to this because it's under review

Senate Dems threw the House Dems under the bus.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

never underestimate Ukraine
„Ukraine has options. Europe is still in the game.

The country’s domestic weapons production is ramping up. Across Ukraine, small workshops—what some call the “shadow military-industrial complex”—are working 24/7 to keep the war effort going.“

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

The Trump Administration is currently conducting mass layoffs at agencies responsible for tracking weather and ensuring that Americans are prepared in advance of natural disasters. Let that sink in.

Trump—or Vance—can make one phone call and set any investigation they wish in motion, or get one quashed. In other words, they are the law.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.
READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com:

"Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
