WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

Masked ICE goons in Durango, CO, steal an elderly woman’s phone, grab her by the hair, and throw her down a hill. This was during a peaceful protest over ICE kidnapping a father and two children from a local school. #AbolishICE

This. Also:

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.

2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.

3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Israel says ceasefire is back on as death toll from overnight strikes in Gaza reaches 104 - NewsBreak
The strikes, the deadliest since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10, marked the most serious challenge to the tenuous truce to date.

I remember my principal in HS literally running across the courtyard to grab me, take me to his office and expel me because my hair was too long! What did he expect? I was in a 60s rock band! 🤪🤪☮️

Dumping a water balloon on the principal in 4th grade didn't turn out well for me, I got 6 swats in his office with holes in it for max pain!
Like you Monica, my report card always seemed to say I needed to improve on "self control", aka talking too much!

Political influence may come and go, but economic and cultural power endure. The choice of Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl proves the rising influence of Latino communities on our culture. And MAGA isn't happy about it.

It shouldn’t take him getting sued to ensure tens of millions don’t go hungry in the richest nation on Earth.

As millions of Americans lose food assistance in this shutdown, the president could act — but won’t. Why? Because he wants the pain. This isn’t governing. It’s moral decay.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

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.
