Anyone wanna explain why Trump is murdering people on the high seas because they're alleged "drug dealers" but then pardoning convicted drug dealers at home?
I'd really like to hear how that works.

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

If Chuck Schumer tells Dems to cave without getting ACA subsidies which is what they said they were fighting for I will be relentless in demanding that he be kicked from the role of minority leader and primaried.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
