House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries: “A one-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits is not acceptable. It's a non-starter. It's a non-starter. It was introduced by the same people who just permanently extended massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors.”

Texas National Guard arrives in the Chicago area

They are here.

PADILLA: Do you believe govt officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not, yes or no?

BONDI: I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump

PADILLA: I asked a simple yes or no question

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Someone should ask Pam Bondi about that while she's testifying

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.

Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Bondi keeps mentioning the government employees who will work without pay because of the shutdown.

At the same time Russel Vought's OMB has drafted a memo signaling his intent to challenge that 2019 law.

Have any of the Senators asked Pam Bondi about the Government Employees Fair Treatment Act that Trump signed in 2019?

‘Let’s do the f***ing news’: Bari Weiss causes ‘eye rolls’ with CBS News rallying cry EXCLUSIVE: Multiple CBS News staffers told The Independent that Bari Weiss’ ‘cringey’ comments on the editorial call literally caused eyes to roll.

NEW from me:

CBS News staffers literally rolled their eyes after new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss delivered a "cringey" rallying cry during today's editorial call, exclaiming: "Let's do the fucking news!"

"She's cosplaying as a broadcast journalist," one said.

Her whataboutism speaks volumes.

Hirono: "I have to conclude that, since no wrongdoing was determined, that Homan kept the money. And I hope he will put that on his tax returns as income."

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

OMB "on Friday quietly revised a shutdown guidance document to remove references to a law passed in 2019 to guarantee that all federal workers are provided backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations'

Trump literally signed the law.

"That phone records of some lawmakers were seized in the probe has long been known, since the Justice Department fought a legal battle over the limits of the Constitution’s Speech or Debate clause in order to access lawmakers’ communications."

ymmv but I wouldn't combine a shingles vax with anything. Shingles vax was a like donkey kick.

🤬

I could really sink my teeth into an article that explained the targeting/planning of the South Shore apartments raid.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

They're absolutely using government databases to target people and there's been no reporting on it afaik

The libertarians most likely to make an issue of that sort of thing are now MAGA

BTW, the people kidnapped by ICE were at work. Looks likely that they know where people work bc they’re integrating immigration & IRS data.

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.
