Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

NEW: Less than a week after conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s murder, the Trump administration is exploiting the tragedy to escalate its anti-democratic crackdown on progressive activism — even vowing to “destroy” philanthropic groups.

Every member of Congress, regardless of party or geography, will see tens of thousands of their constituents lose coverage under the OBBBA. On average, each congressional district will have nearly 33,000 more people uninsured in 2034. Review the numbers: buff.ly/KfdWJkZ

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me.

Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against him.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.

Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
The fight against corruption has to be ceaseless.

Today in the Appropriations Committee, I will offer an amendment to prohibit the Qatari jet that was gifted to Trump (which is going to cost taxpayers $1 billion) from being transferred to him personally.

Stay tuned.

I like that every piece of new info on Epstein is always Trump writing something like, “Just wanted to say you’re my best friend and I love you as a brother and I’m happy we have so many of the same interests and mutual secrets”
BREAKING via NYT: The Times found another admiring note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

“To Jeff — You are the greatest!” reads an inscription in a copy of Mr. Trump’s book “Trump: The Art of the Comeback” that belonged to Mr. Epstein. (link in reply)

Imagine being a Columbia alumnus and watching Linda fucking McMahon, the pedo queen of pro wrestling, take a victory lap like this because the other pedos in the administration dogwalked the university and made them eat shit and now they're all having a big laugh about it

MAGAs will pay ICE fascists a six figure income—but not teachers.

They’ll increase military spending $150B—but cut $500M from PBS.

They’ll spend $300M on Trump golfing—but not on lunch for hungry kids.

The Party of “life and liberty” is only pro war and tyranny, all to uphold MAGA white supremacy

For the Republican Speaker of the House to threaten to shut down the House to block a vote calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files is absolutely insane. Literally willing to end work on American priorities to protect Trump’s pedophile friend.

As someone who lived in New Orleans during the thing you call Katrina, I’m here to say that the time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.
