The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation seems to be throwing some shade at ICE.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

MTG said and did a lot of despicable things to launch her MAGA political career. But this...sounds like a genuine apology? Never thought I'd see it. Time will tell, but she has for many months now been speaking out on the Gaza genocide and the affordability crisis. Welcome to sane politics?

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta β€’ 28m
Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road?
Which Trump will likely hold hostage?
Huh?

As your constituent, I am happy to hear this. I don't mind if some of my flights are delayed this week if it means protecting access to health care for people I love. Stay strong and don't cave to the GOP like your Senate colleagues did.

I'm an NBA fan, but I don't care about this dumb drinking receptacle competition with garish courts that blind the eyes. The NBA blunts the early season excitement and narratives with this meaningless "tournament" that everyone forgets as soon as its over.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Thanks to the courageous survivors of Epstein's abuse, justice is coming to Andrew.

If you abused children alongside Epstein, you will face justice. That is what Rep. Thomas Massie & I are fighting for.

We will not rest.

This is a good lesson for any of us considering running for something. The odds may seem impossible at first. But AOC and now Zohran have shown that hard work in campaigns do change everything that conventional wisdom would have us believe.

Remember folks, kicking millions off their healthcare is just part of governance.

Meanwhile, raising taxes on the wealthy, well, by golly, that’s class warfare.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in commonβ€”Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the listβ€”it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."
