Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches

Republican Senators slipped this nugget into the CR last night. Rigging the legal system to give $500,000 or more to each of them because someone followed the facts and looked at their phone records. That’s your money folks.

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

🤣😂🤣 Lying so much that Waltz thought he could get away w it at the UN! This is America’s Ambassador to the UN. #arrestrepublicans

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

We live in an episode of Veep

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Disgusting banner displayed on the USDA official site reads: “Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.” The page further shows text stating: “We are here for you Resources and support for food, agriculture, natural resources, rural development, nutrition, and related issues.” https://www.USDA.gov

USDA is again spreading infectious information on the official site. STOP THE LIES! This is a disgusting display of yet another HATCH ACT VIOLATION. USDA PUBLIC AFFAIRS IS COMPLICIT! We must HOLD CONGRESS and this REGIME ACCOUNTABLE! #usda #snap #misinformation #lies #hatchact #failure

Whoaaaaa

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren If Paramount Skydance buys up Warner Bros, most shows you watch will be owned by the same company.

If Paramount Skydance buys up Warner Bros, many of the shows you watch will all be owned by the same company — and they can jack your prices up.

We can't let that happen. We have antitrust laws for a reason, and it's on Donald Trump to enforce them.

Subtle metaphor for America.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

I'll check it out!

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

No Kings,
For the love of America.

A win! A federal judge has granted Chicago and the State of Illinois a restraining order against the Trump administration, blocking the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) went on Fox News and explained the consequences of Trump’s government shutdown in one minute.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "It looks like the president is trying to take us off the world stage in terms of our credibility as the indispensable nation. I want the speaker to go to the president and say it's recognizable what you are doing and your deterioration."
