I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signerβ€”he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

Pam Bondi is so hostile, angry, and rude, today.

I think it must be getting harder and harder to lie.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for itβ€”obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Eleven percent is too many. No evidence Tylenol causes autism. Pregnant women with untreated fever have a higher risk of miscarriage and other serious complications

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

As a matter of fact, we should be getting our twofer any minute. Swear in Grijalva and the Epstein files will be released.
