Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

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.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

When I posted the other day about Alex Karp he was yet to launch this combination of hubris and insanity. He has become the most cooked CEO this side of Elon Musk. Encourage all to read.

The Trump administration is still choosing to withhold lifesaving food assistance from millions of Americans.

We're asking a court to require the USDA to release complete SNAP benefits for November.

I'll keep fighting this shameful inaction until every New Yorker is fed.

“National figures including dark money maven Leonard Leo, who owns a home in Mt. Desert Island that regularly draws protestors, was involved. His role garnered state and local coverage and was highlighted in news articles. That wasn’t a plus publicity-wise.”

Got his finger in so many lousy pies.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Maine rejected a ballot measure that’d have restricted mail voting and imposed voter ID.

By a large margin, 64/36.

The no got 90% in the city of Portland. (!) boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

Virginia's Senate Majority Leader confirms to Bolts that Virginia Democrats intend to move the constitutional amendment that'd allow for a mid-decade gerrymander in January.

Says it is “going to be one of the first orders of business."
