Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Abolishing ICE is now the MODERATE position. They need to be prosecuted. The Nazis didnโ€™t get to use the โ€œI was just following ordersโ€ excuse and neither should these people. DHS is actively recruiting the worst of the worst for these jobs. Sociopaths.

In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

โ€œTHIS IS A SEWERโ€ฆ A SCAMโ€ฆ Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.โ€

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right โ€” Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while theyโ€™re supposed to be working for you?

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trumpโ€™s pocket.

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

We donโ€™t need to reform ICE.
We donโ€™t need alternatives to ICE.
We donโ€™t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isnโ€™t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet peopleโ€™s basic needs.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies โ€” before his *wife* โ€” started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what theyโ€™ve experienced regularlyโ€”

I hope midterms are a referendum

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

Jamal Khashoggi was a US resident, a journalist & critic of the extremist policies of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. To silence him, bin Salman organized his murder & dismembering with a bone saw.

The lavish welcome of this murderer to our WH is disgusting
