Jeffrey Epstein emailed Tom Barrack, an old friend of Donald Trump and the current U.S. ambassador to Turkey, asking him to “send photos of you and child — make me smile.”
Newly released private emails show how closely tied Epstein was to Trump’s circle of advisers.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Bernie Sanders: We are living in an oligarchy where a small number of people like Jeff Bezos have more money than they can spend in a thousand lifetimes. What they are saying to the whole world is "We got it. We don't give a damn about anyone but ourselves. Greed is our religion."

When Josh Hawley objected to the budget bill's cuts to Medicaid, I asked whether he was for real or his "populism" was just a pose.
And now we have the answer! He supports the bill, the largest Medicaid cuts in history. 16 million will lose their coverage.

Just How Fake Is Josh Hawley's Populism?
Even if it has some real substance, we shouldn't take it at face value.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.
