Received this video from a former staffer of mine. It’s a leaking pipeline in the Permian Basin. They called the Carlsbad field office and no one picked up, so it can’t be reported or followed up on.

The cost of the shutdown will be felt for decades.

Republicans brought the Senate back today to block our bill to lower health care costs and end the shutdown, and to insist on their bill to deprive millions of their health care.

Meanwhile, Republicans in the House decided to remain on vacation.

Mike Johnson says “real people are hurting” after sending Congress home, blocking a vote to swear in Adelita Grijalva, dragging out the shutdown, and hiding the Epstein files.

We will not be distracted.
Release the Epstein Files‼️

I just signed legislation to further protect consumers and put money back in your pocket, including:

✅ Making it easier to get food delivery app refunds
✅ Banning car retailers from tacking on add-on services
✅ Strengthening our Financial Protection Department after Trump's gutting of the CFPB

It's #Maddow Time

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t.

‘There could very well be consequences’: Trump’s team pressures wary GOP lawmakers to draw new maps The new pressure campaign from Trump and outside groups shows the party’s desperation to cling to its razor-thin majority next year.

NEW: Reporting from @politico.com reveals that the White House is ramping up its pressure campaign to gerrymander red states, going as far as promising “consequences” to Republican lawmakers who don’t fall in line.

This is dangerous new territory for our nation. politi.co/4nDMcKk

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Hennessy told the judge that Martinez had been following agents for 30 minutes, and Ruiz had been following agents for 20 minutes before the shooting. As she drove, Martinez was broadcasting on Facebook Live for more than 2 minutes, Hennessy said. Video captures her repeatedly sounding her horn and following the vehicles, Hennessy said. In the charges filed Sunday, prosecutors notably did not mention a loaded gun in Martinez’s car that was referenced in a previous statement by the Department of Homeland Security. But in court Monday, Hennessy said Martinez had a loaded firearm on the passenger side of her car but never brandished it. Martinez’s attorney, Parente, said she has a valid firearm and concealed-carry license. Parente also offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting. Parente said the video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez. Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the shooting and that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.

Report on detention hearing for woman shot by CBP the other day reveals she had a concealed license.

Martinez was released.

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

This was genuinely not-horrible from Jeffries.

No rescission. No impoundment.

But the tax cuts works.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE’s tactics of transferring detainees between states and hiding them from legal representation allow the agency to ignore proper due process laws. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social reports:

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from sending members of California's — or any other state's — federalized National Guard to the streets of Portland, Oregon.

Rep. Boyle: This is the Republican shutdown. Any previous shutdown in my career, we have been stuck in the Capitol negotiating. The Republican speaker canceled session last week and then canceled session again this week. He's following the orders when Trump said 'don't even negotiate with Democrats'

Supreme Court rejects appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, imprisoned former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned ex-girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump’s Republican administration had urged the high court to stay out of the case.”

Please note: protesters, clergy and a neighbor are also on this suit/also making claims here (it's a lot of reporters, but not only reporters!)

Here's the reality: Trump and Russell Vought know using the shutdown to punish Dem constituencies delivers a sadistic thrill to the MAGA base. But sating MAGA bloodlust alienates the middle. That's WH's core dilemma.
