A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told.

This is the package:

- CR thru Jan 30
- A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill
- Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future
PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Noem wanted to buy Spirit Airlines planes - except the airline didn’t own them DHS looked at buying the planes from Spirit Airlines, according to a report

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesn’t own the planes, and they don’t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says β€˜yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ

The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material β€” including all grand jury info β€” to Comey's team

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

If your government thinks the Pope β€œdoesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.
