O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

So, just this week, we’ve been told by MAGA luminaries that all the women in London are now veiled, and all the kids in all the little English villages are being raped.

Nearly 30% of the Dodgers who played in Game 7 were immigrants.

An immigrant:

- from Japan was the starting pitcher

- from Japan was the winning pitcher (different guy)

- from Venezuela hit the game-tying home run in the top of 9th

- from Cuba made the game-saving catch in the bottom of the 9th

Meanwhile USDA Sec Rollins is trying to change the subject —the subject being Trump's decision to withhold food aid from 40M people—by claiming the admin is focused on rooting out SNAP fraud.
To be fair, no one can fraudulently receive benefits if no one receives benefits, period

Reveling in cruelty

The White House thought the shutdown would be quick. Now they’re frustrated. White House officials, at the start of the shutdown, were certain the Trump administration was better positioned to battle the left during a funding lapse.

The more resolute Congressional Democrats remain the more frustrated Trump Whitehouse and Republicans get - signs pointing to how Dems are winning the shutdown fight as the Republicans keep the Govt shut to starve kids, gut healthcare and lock down Epstein files.

Trump, Rubio parrying it up in lavish, opulent Gatsby style party as 42 million Americans about to loss their food stamps and millions about to lose health care.

Why isn’t there coverage in U.S. corporate media about this.

Remember the outcry when Newsom was at a French laundry during Covid?

Secret racists love to do two things: Lie to pollsters and vote. Democrats need big leads heading into election day to overcome this reality.

Small leads or negative trends are not cause for panic, but they are cause for concern and action.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

I was 13 in 1979 and delivering the Post over in Arlington and was even awarded a little plaque for delivering the paper I respected knowing all about Watergate.
Then I had it delivered for decades but dropped it two years ago when if became apparent Bezos wasn’t really shining a light
#Epsteinfiles

In response to the Washington Post defending Trump’s bulldozing the East Wing of the WH, I canceled my subscription to the paper I’ve read since growing up in Northern Virginia.

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles.

Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

ICE-DPD partnership would damage work building community trust, Dallas residents say Dallas residents voiced opposition to a potential partnership with ICE after Mayor Eric Johnson called for a potential partnership to be reconsidered.

"Taking this money sends a message that we are willing to trade our neighbors' safety for a short-term budget fix,” Arriaza said.

Europe Never Recovered From the Fall of the Berlin Wall The high point of 1989 kickstarted a prolonged crisis that left the continent vulnerable to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, a new book argues.

The fall of the Berlin Wall was meant to mark Europe’s triumph. In hindsight, it kicked off a decades-long crisis that’s left the continent vulnerable.

"Here is a photo that about sums things up. This is my friend and colleague Pastor Jorge Bautista getting shot in the face by an ICE agent's flash bang grenade. Jorge's demeanor is calm and brave. Here's what's true: those who, like Jorge, are calling for Love and Peace and inclusion and the

Do they get the irony of using the Statue of Liberty in an ICE ad?

Entire communities in rural areas that are already under-resourced, under-represented and systemically impoverished and not just Native communities but rural White and Black communities as well. This is a crisis compounding crisis.

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

KFF.org: Avg. annual worker & employer premium contributions

The reason people THINK employer coverage is significantly less expensive than ACA coverage is because around 75% of the premium cost is typically PAID BY THE EMPLOYER.

ACA tax credits effectively take the place of the employer's share of ESI premiums.

I'd like to point out that extending the enhanced #ACA tax credits for one year would only cost $23.4 billion.

Key Facts on Health Coverage of Immigrants | KFF This fact sheet provides an overview of health coverage for immigrants based on data from the 2023 KFF/LA Times Survey of Immigrants, the largest nationally representative survey focused on immigrants...

Right before the #shutdown, @kffhealthnews.org updated Key Facts on Health Coverage of Immigrants. In most circumstances, undocumented families remain ineligible for #ACA provisions; families typically forgo necessary preventive care and seek ED visits as a last resort. #hspr #immigration

I’m here in the hospital with my son. He will never be able to afford health insurance because of preexisting conditions so thank you #ACA for saving his life.

Speaker Johnson claims immigrants are a HUGE drain on Medicaid…‘Look it up!’ Challenge accepted!

Jen Psaki did just that. An AMA study found the undocumented accounted for only .4% of total Medicaid spending.

Is that worth a #govermentshutdown? Or does the GOP have other motives? #DemsAbroad #ACA

Apparently, in Colorado, we can select our #ACA plan on the exchange, but we CAN NOT YET SEE PRICES. What kind of horseshit is that?

That's not Open Enrollment, that's Cloaked Enrollment.
