I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

The commission of fine arts was set to review Trump’s ballroom.

Instead, he fired them.

Because when the rules get in his way, he rewrites them.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Mine doubled.

Wow. Based on the comments, a lot of people saw me on Maddow tonight!

To everyone asking me how they can help Democracy Docket fulfill its critical pro-democracy mission while receiving critical information ands analysis, it's easy. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Illinois’ benefits website warns that the Trump administration is to blame if SNAP benefits go away

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

This statement is truer today than it was then. I’m so fucking angry

Former chair of the Tennessee libertarian party 👇🏽

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Do not normalize any headline or article that refuses to call out Trump's proposal to run again in 2028 and treats it like a political game.

Call out all these polls and hypotheticals.

This man cannot run again. Like we've said, he will try to stay in power until death.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Seems like an important detail

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Republicans Praise Johnson’s “Brave Stand Against Consciousness.”

Once you understand that Trump's working for Putin, it all makes sense!

From destroying our healthcare system, to the government shutdown, to targeting & blowing up vessels in South America to the DESTRUCTION of the White House!

Shooting by ICE officer in Los Angeles wounds motorist, U.S. marshal Federal authorities said the driver had threatened officers with a vehicle while trying to flee an arrest.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
