I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

The only option for Dems now to is to quickly change the narrative again away from shutdown and back to Epstein. With congress coming back Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in and the discharge petition for a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files must go forward.

โI no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom,โ Judge Mark L. Wolf writes on his decision to resign from the federal bench. โPresident Trump is using the law for partisan purposesโ:

Sheโs absolutely right. Some of the (financially) wealthiest seem to be pretty unsatisfied and unhappy, but mostly bored.
If you grew up wealthy and entitled and are now even more wealthy, youโve probably never fully connected with pure simple joy. The soul is vapid. The smile is feigned.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.
Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.
Endless projection. I hate him.

The Trump regime is the 4th Reich wrapped in fake patriotism disguised as Sharia Christianity
Starving those they deem unworthy
Next its a woman's right to vote
Then the only religion permitted will be Christian Nationalist
The constitution will be dead and the rule of law perverted

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.
