For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

Not so sure the White House is going to be too happy with this ratio over at the other place

💔Kyiv is being attacked by drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. Please stay in the shelter. Russia is a terrorist state!

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

Me, extremely disappointed in you.

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

The art of folding a winning hand

Joyce Carol Oates said what everyone’s been thinking and did it with elegance.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

USA Today: "Trump administration asks Supreme Court to stop order requiring SNAP benefits be paid"

Donald Trump is now going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to take SNAP food benefits away from Americans in need.

California won't back down in court from supporting the tens of millions of Americans the Trump Administration seemingly wants to starve.

She believes in the sanctity of traditional Christian marriage.

Happy Birthday to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com 🎂🎉🎊

Per a report on KCRA, USDA will indeed fully fund SNAP per a court order. Turns out the Sec'y of Ag who also heads USDA doesn't want to go to jail. Imagine that.

House cancels votes next week, including vote on Epstein files.

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

Everyone should stop flying until the air traffic controllers are paid!

I’m an Army veteran, public servant, & proud mom of three.

I learned early on what it means to be a patriot & put country over party. That's not what we're seeing in DC today.

I am running for Congress in CO-05 to bring competence, courage, & character back to Congress.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

Good morning to these future governors!

That’s a bottle of wine for these folks. I approve & urge same for all others states.

This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Ken Buck R rep from Colorado put in his weeks notice

He is quitting and will leave a space for us to elect another reasonable voice

His stated reason:

This is the most corrupt ineffective Congress in 50 Years

More resignations will come due to the inability of any Republican to be reelected

David Koresh would fit right in with today’s Republicans - he loved church, guns, and molesting children.

A mattress in a phone booth, receiver to where its ear might be.
