One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Every day that 42 million Americans go hungry is because the GOP Fascist Party is holding them hostage in order to cut millions of Americans off health care.

Judge orders Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits for November by Friday U.S. District Judge John McConnell ordered the Trump administration to provide the full food stamp benefits by Friday.

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

BREAKING: SANDWICH GUY ACQUITTED. NOT GUILTY!

I haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. I’ll bet you haven’t either.

The GOP Fascist Party are holding hungry people hostage in order to cut healthcare care from millions of Americans.

Maybe The GOP Fascist Party is stupid enough to believe their own lies. Or maybe they know they’re lying but don’t care.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

NYC Votes!!!

Q: Has Speaker Johnson reached out to you since the January 6er made a threat on your life?

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: No

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has subpoenaed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and other senior DOJ officials to testify at the hearing on his mostion to dismiss the indictment for vindictive prosecution. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

More GOP Fascist Party thoughts and prayers. But no action (aside from GOP votes to defund the police and security forces).

🐢 Teenage Mutant Nazi Turtles Peter Rothpletz on the GOP's latest racist group chat scandal, Trump demolishing the White House, Fox comparing Portland to Gaza, and the latest in Sudan.

"Young 'conservatives' have no conception of conservatism outside of the MAGA movement... They are utterly untethered to reasonable discourse...in a perpetual, hateful adolescence."

- Peter Rothpletz, with his first 'First Draft' newsletter for Zeteo:

A tweet from Alison Cook reads: “The kids are alright.” The attached photo shows a young woman sitting on public transit holding a protest sign. The sign reads: “WHEN CRUELTY BECOMES NORMAL, COMPASSION LOOKS RADICAL,” with the words “CRUELTY” and “COMPASSION” written in red and the rest in black. Sunlight streams through the train windows, showing a brick building and blue sky outside.

They are trying to normalize cruelty and violence. We cannot allow it.

The GOP Fascist Party is great at tearing things down.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Jeffries: "They care about George Santos and freeing him than they do about providing healthcare to everyday Americans."

Massive crowds on Asheville

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.”

KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.
