Montana’s amendment doesn’t aim to overturn the Citizens United ruling. If passed, it would merely render the ruling ineffective within Montana because businesses operating in the state would have to abide by its definition of corporations.

Today at the White House: questions ignored, reporters rushed out of the Oval, and an emergency meeting called in the Situation Room. But, yea —Trump is innocent. 😇 #BlueSky #NewsSky

"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

This!!!!!!!!!!!

Congress is moving quickly to pass a funding package that would end the longest federal shutdown in the nation’s history.

Here’s what’s in the bill, based on summaries provided by Congress: https://cnn.it/4qVFT6N

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

ICE pours large canister of pepper spray directly into family car, hitting 1-year-old baby.

"They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said Matt, who filmed this video.

"ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside, where their baby and 16-year-old sister sat."

A screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald Trump dated 9 November 2025 in which he wrote "WOW!" and quote-tweeted a meme saying "Breaking: DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for 'royalties linked to Obamacare.' Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars."

No matter how hard I try, and no matter how long it goes on, I just can't get used to the president of the United States routinely promoting lies of the most imbecilic and easily disprovable nature (or in this case mistaking satire for reality).

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamp Benefits

Trump’s illegal and erratic actions are creating a mass hunger crisis and an unsustainable burden on Food Banks.

Trump’s indifference to the suffering of others is matched only by his personal greed and drive to become all powerful.

Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.

USDA says states must 'undo' efforts to disburse full November SNAP benefits The latest guidance from the Trump administration comes after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked a judge's decision that ordered immediate payouts.

In a reversal, the USDA now tells states that issued full SNAP benefits they should "immediately undo" distributions or potentially face future cuts.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.

-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

For everyone wondering. Jackson ruled on the immediate request because she handles emergency appeals arising from the First Circuit by default.

Isnt she blocking the maga judges from helping trump by telling the 1C they have 48 hours to finalize and release their decision? @kenwhite.bsky.social

Yes, 1st circuit hasn’t ruled

She wants an order from the First Circuit upholding the trial court. That would give the liberal minority a foothold to argue the Supreme Court should do so as well. a strategic stay to increase chance of restarting SNAP benefits.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

‘None of This Is Good for Republicans’ Gerrymandering efforts look different after Election Day.
