If/when normal adults have power we need to systematically enact clear rules for congress that eliminate loophole power grabs like: not seating members, not holding confirmation hearings, shutting down the house, committee assignments ranking etc etc etc

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown:

In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency.

We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

Yikes…

Meiselas: His latest number has gone up to $22 trillion that he says he’s brought into the United States.

Pocan: Clearly this number just seems to run inverse to the weight that he claims he actually is. I think he said 230. And that number keeps going down, and this number keeps going up.

Most Americans oppose East Wing demolition for Trump ballroom, poll finds Fifty-six percent say they oppose President Donald Trump’s decision to tear down part of the White House to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom building.

Who would've thought building a $300 million gold-plated ballroom as kids go hungry and health care costs soar would be unpopular?

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

We live in an episode of Veep

If there are 12 bad cops and 1300 "good cops" who don't stop them, then there are actually 1312 bad cops.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

This is not “America First”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.
