More evidence that the Trump/Witkoff “peace plan” for Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

One source witnessed an FBI analyst have a breakdown while viewing the Epstein files. The analyst has kids the same age as the girls in the videos they were reviewing. I’ll cover this and more today at 3:30 PT / 6:30 PM ET here: youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

We wanted to share this to help people understand what’s going on. It was shared by Jay Kuo and written by Steve Vladeck a clear, straightforward breakdown of the SNAP situation.
190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

No money for healthcare subsidies. And also no money to keep food stamps going for 40 million people during the shutdown.

Social Security is NOT a handout.
It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.

My friend @merkley.senate.gov is holding the Senate floor all night to sound the alarm on Trump’s lawless regime.
Proud to stand with him in this fight and in the U.S. Senate. There can be no business as usual.
