It's easier to punch down than up. All this anger projected at the opposition party only decreases voter turnout and empowers the fascist regime. You are all amplifying their messaging with vague platitudes to dismiss the entire party as one group. Who benefits?

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

Part of me would like to believe that Brett Kavanaugh was in a gnarly mood today because he knows he bears moral responsibility for all these violent kidnappings of US citizens.

But probably he was just trying to do the bidding of someone who might pay off his debts.

Today marks the first time an attorney general has tried to use 28 USC 508, 509, and 515 to appoint someone to prosecute a defendant who once used those very statutes to appoint the man who is now his defense counsel.

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?"

The LAPD rioted last night.

“They were careless people, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

GOOD NEWS: A judge ruled the administration is required by law to use emergency funding to provide food assistance to families in need.

Trump has no excuse to withhold food assistance. If the admin does not issue SNAP, it is purely a cruel political decision, not a legal one.

this is insane.

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

I feel the same about everyone on the left who actively campaigned against Harris, to discourage voter turnout, and hand the country over to Project 2025. They learned nothing from 2016.

Scalise, on his phone, shows how important this report is to all of them.

The SNAP fight is actually a recapitulation of the entire purpose of the shutdown.
There's a contingency fund, Trump is required to spend it, but he's not, usurping Congress's power of the purse, essentially so he can do it again with normal appropriations whenever he wants

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Voting should be this easy in every state.

Jack Smith ready to respond to GOP questions, but he wants the public to see his answers Last week, Republican lawmakers tried to go on the offensive against the former special counsel. This week, he turned the tables and called their bluff.

House Republicans to Jack Smith last week: We have some tough questions for you.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The law and order president.

Democrats' plan: We want to extend support that makes health care more affordable.

Republicans' plan: We never wanted to make health care more affordable in the first place.
