No words….

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I’d love him to explain how running a second time in a special election in a sure thing riding is “on merit.”

Can some investigative reporter please find out where his congressional paycheck goes if he doesn’t actually have a bank account in his name. I think we let that drop way too easily. There is something strange going on there.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

I have a serious legal question- what happens when this behavior comes up against stand your ground? Who is legally in the right?

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

Who is he saluting?

As a sexual abuse survivor, I need to talk about my anger.

I'm so angry about the government not stopping Epstein when they had the opportunity, causing hundreds more girls to fall prey to him because of inaction. I'm enraged about the cover up. And I'm furious about lack of care for young girls.

Although im not sure that’s actually true (war crimes?) they others are not. Try and court Marshall those who took part and others may be not so willing to follow illegal orders.

"Every school in the country should have a metal detector."

Sean, what are metal detectors at schools there to detect? A baloney sandwich or a GUN? You would be preventing the entry of people with GUNS because GUNS are the problem, you shamelessly dishonest idiot.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

The Government is Violating Mr. Abrego's Due Process Rights. Again. Mr. Abrego's attorneys have revealed that the government has threatened him with deportation to Uganda if he doesn't plead guilty to the two felony counts against him.

NEW: The government has offered Mr. Abrego deportation to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty, and threatened deportation Uganda if he does not. According to his lawyers in a new filing, that violates his 5th Amendment due process rights. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-govern...

Oh man. Embarrassing for Dean Cain.

ICE posting his training session like it’s some kind of “Man of Steel” flex. Although it tracks with the incompetent, undertrained ICE agents we’re seeing on the streets.

I’m sure the South Carolina National Guard will be in hand to help the state’s resid—

Hang on, I’m being handed something

Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbled—and, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. 🙏🏼🤗

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
