A reminder on the 8th day of this Republican shutdown: Speaker Johnson could call Members back to negotiate to re-open the government any time he wants. He's choosing not to.

Republicans would rather raise costs and kick millions of Americans off their health care.

Photo of an X post by Bernie Sanders (@BernieS
...) from 11 hours ago. The post reads: "The Trump administration does not have the right to rescind federal funding to states for the 'crime' of voting against Donald Trump in the election. That is outrageous, blatantly unconstitutional and illegal. This action must be overturned." The post includes a profile picture of Bernie Sanders and a verification badge.

A screenshot of a Politico article titled "Trump targets states that voted for Harris in shutdown fight." The article states that the Office of Management and Budget is withholding billions in energy and infrastructure money in more than a dozen states that voted against Trump. The image shows a man in a blue suit and red tie gesturing with both hands, standing on a grassy area with a helicopter in the background.

This is what happens when a lawless POTUS backed by a spineless Congress and a feckless SCOTUS is given power over already appropriated funds.

We wanted to understand the legal justification for the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. So we talked to three unvaccinated crypto investors at Long John Silver's in Scranton.

The WHITE HOUSE
Section 1. Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. Heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence in the United States have dramatically increased in recent years. Even in the aftermath of the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, some individuals who adhered to the alleged shooter's ideology embraced and cheered this evil murder while actively encouraging more political violence. This was preceded by the 2024 assassination of a senior healthcare executive and the 2022 assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Two separate assassination attempts against my own life in less than 3 months took place during the 2024 Presidential election cycle. Riots in Los Angeles and Portland reflect a more than 1,000 percent increase in attacks on U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers since January 21, 2025, compared to the same period last year. Just yesterday, a shooting targeting an ICE facility in Dallas resulted in multiple casualties.
Separate anti-police and "criminal justice" riots have left many people dead and injured and inflicted over $2 billion in property damage nationwide.

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an β€œassassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the FΓΌhrer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway.
