This dirty funding bill also is Trump corruption at its worst:
- a late night, 11th hour deal
- the personal enrichment of 8 Senators at $500k each
- complicity from Congressional Republicans
And all on the backs of a “deal”that continues the theft of health care from Americans. Shame.

Fetterman’s stroke damaged the part of his brain responsible for empathy.
He is now as badly dain bramaged as the rest of MAGA, that also has under-developed brains.

The guy who literally survived a stroke because of accessible healthcare now parrots GOP talking points that healthcare is extreme. Fuck off, Fetterman.

This is all thanks to the weakness of Merrick Garland as AG, and the weakness of Joe Biden to tolerate a complicit and ineffective AG!
I so wish that some plucky Black female lawyer on social media had spent almost every day of the Biden admin screaming about and warning about the risks of that

REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trump’s insurrection into the government funding bill.
Insane corruption.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

This week, WaPo published a “profile” re: Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network w/ JD Vance. Curiously, the profile omitted Buskirk’s ties to “Christian Nationalism” via American Reformer (where he is a director), which supports William Wolfe’s organization. This guy ⬇️ 1/

Trump has tapped Project 2025 leader Russ Vought to lead the Office of Budget & Management, which is the “nerve center of the federal gov” (per Vought). Last year, Vought tweeted that he was “proud to work w/ William Wolfe to scope out a sound Christian Nationalism.” 1/

Colorado just passed two ballot measures to increase taxes (I’m oversimplifying, but that’s the practical effect) on people earning over $300,000 a year to fund a school meals program. $100,000,000 for kids to eat. Which is really how this should work.

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.
