Sorry, meant to say "appropriations bill(s)", not budget

New evidence unsealed of how Trump's Jan. 6, 2021 rally was funded A trove of evidence released in Trump's election interference case shows an organization paid for Jan. 6 rally attendees' transportation.

Amidst absurd claims of George Soros paid protestors at the No Kings rallies, let us not forget that Trump did, in fact, pay some protestors to attend his January 6th insurrection: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Not really. The filibuster is just a Senate rule that can be changed with a simple majority (51 votes) and then they can pass their budget, if the House is on-board, and not even bother with the continuing resolution.

I'm surprised it's taken this long, quite frankly

Impeccable spelling, punctuation and grammar. Definitely did not write it.

Impeccable spelling, punctuation and grammar. Clearly "truthed" by someone other than him.

And of course he's posting articles from a publication that gets this bias rating:

Watch The Last Republican | Prime Video As Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger takes his final stand against Donald Trump in the January 6th hearings,

Shilling here for no particular reason...What could be better than a documentary produced by the Meidas Touch, Directed by the director of Hot Tub Time Machine and starring your favorite patriotic conservative Republican Adam Kinzinger? @adamkinzinger.substack.com www.amazon.com/Last-Republi...

Just watched The Last Republican. I'm a lifelong Democrat and had many GOP friends as I'm retired from a 27 year career in law enforcement. I don't know how these people lost their minds. They dumped me too. They all need to be taped to a chair and forced to watch this Clockwork Orange style.

Federal agents told Portland police to 'help or get out of the way' after firing pepper balls at local officer The confrontation between local law enforcement and federal agents will be detailed in court as Oregon fights Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops.

Very similar to the case in Portland. This is a good current article: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

DOJ puts 2 federal prosecutors on leave after they described 'mob of rioters' on Jan. 6 The language was used in a sentencing memo for Taylor Taranto, a Jan. 6 defendant who was separately convicted of weapons charges after he showed up near Barack Obama’s home in 2023.

Wildly authoritarian. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

If there' 5 families living in the house, the issue is with the landlord, not the residents. The landlord is likely violating a local residential occupancy ordinance.

If five families move in next door, your issue is with the landlord, not the five families who moved in. The landlord is likely violating a city occupancy ordinance. Go after him.

We know they're lying, they know they're lying, and they know we know they're lying. The only people who don't realize they are lying are the disease brained 30% of the country that is now somehow running the place...

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach β€” the exact trend we warned about in our assessment.
