CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it”

This strikes me as pretty bad

Sorry, took a while to look up original poster, she deserves the credit for the video

Sick sadistic bastards, I loathe them all so much

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Hope she has enough training to take on this elite fighting force storming the federal facility - truly terrifying

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"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

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.

Turning Point USA announced they will be hosting their own concert during the Super Bowl Halftime show, using "fully Christian, American® performers. Mind you, Bad Bunny is both a Christian (Catholic) and an American (from Puerto Rico).

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car

Yet they say immigrants are the threat.

Protesters are the threat.

We know better.

NEW: Trump considers a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. “I’ll have to take a look at it,” and also says Diddy has asked him for a pardon.

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

HOLY SH*T.

There it is.

Trump says he will speak to the DOJ about giving Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon.

I don't get these fuckwads. ONLY Nancy Pelosi could call up the National Guard on Jan 6, but, the President can call up the National Guard wherever he wants, whenever he wants?

How about some of our press start asking about this?

LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE DESPERATELY RUNNING 26 MILES, 385 YARDS TO ESCAPE A WAR ZONE

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

I would like to abolish ICE completely.

And by God it is my right as an American citizen to advocate for that.

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.”

Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities.

Read the censored column: www.facebook.com/share/p/16uP...

"Has a single ICE agent been disciplined, so far as we know, in the months this has been going on?....There's none of the normal 'we hope we don't have to use force,' they don't even pretend that anymore."

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social talks ICE with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Podcast:

This is an Epstein shutdown

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.
