Just a reminder. The Senate Republicans promised to VOTE on extending ACA subsidies in December. No matter what happens, the House does not have to vote on it.

No matter what happens though, Sen Schumer, his leadership team, and the 8 “safe” democrats who reopened the government will be losers.

Gee, wow, Poland can station its own fighter jets on its own territory, and can allow international partners to station there as well. Thanks for the permission, Moscow.

More remarkable findings by a federal judge about the lack of credibility of members of the current administration.....
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Honest question: does trump’s statement fall under the “official acts” of the Presidency?

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump said on truth social.

Does a death threat qualify under Trump v. United States ruling or can he be prosecuted for it after he leaves office?

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, defends 2008 Epstein plea deal after accusations about his interactions with 14 year old girl.
“He only pleaded to one count of having sex with a 17 year and 10 month old person. That’s not a pedophile.”

Grijalva’s arrival does more than narrow the already razor-thin Republican majority. Liz Stein and Jessica Michaels, survivors of Epstein’s abuse, watched from the House gallery, along with Grijalva’s family.

Carl Sagan predicted the future of America. The dumbing down of America has largely been part of a Republican agenda.

Nixon abolished the PSAC and the Office of Science and Technology.

The OTA, which provided science and technology analysis to Congress, was closed in 1995.
