This stuff is so crazy. Trump is now just letting his allies that helped him nearly overthrow the government take turns stealing taxpayer money.

Playing us all for suckers. The corruption of this regime will leave an indelible mark on our nation. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

you could fact check this β€” there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin β€” or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

β€œ$170 BILLION for ICE. $40 BILLION for Argentina. $1 BILLION for Trump’s Qatari jet. $230 MILLION for Trump’s DOJ β€œcompensation”. $200 MILLION for Noem’s jets… But nothing for health care?

⚑️UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty (who is rich) says he will NOT sue to stuff his pockets with taxpayer dollars (for Jack Smith doing his job)

Now @MarshaBlackburn is the only Tennessee senator who plans to enrich herself β€” it’s clear what kind of governor she’d be. #MarshasMoneyGrab

GOP Rep. John Rose on GOP senators' taxpayer-funded payouts: "I'm calling on senators to disavow this, including Marsha Blackburn, who unfortunately apparently telegraphed she's planning to take advantage of this opportunity to put millions of dollars in her pocket at the expense of the taxpayer"

REP. JOHN ROSE (R): "MARSHA BLACKBURN is planning to put millions of dollars in her own pocket at the expense of the American taxpayer."

(@repjohnrose is running against @marshablackburn for governor. Senator Hagerty is also guilty of this shameless self-dealing.) #MarshaMoneyGrab

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

WATCH β€” @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : β€œMy 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?

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidiesβ€”unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

An index card with handwriting in blue ink that says, "'I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller.'" Below is the source, "The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller" by Will J. Darling (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1932).

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

"I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller."

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
