NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

Without the extension of ACA credits, healthcare costs will increase nationwide. Wyoming will see a 693% increase, while West Virginia could see as high as 654%.

We need to make healthcare affordable, not crush Americans with high costs.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Should someone celebrate anyone's assassination -- no.

If they're on US soil however, they have an absolute First Amendment right to do so, regardless if they're citizens or not. Every one of these people should sue the US Government for ..."millions"... Make it hurt.

Gen X approves.

The media attacked Biden for being old. Every. Single. Day.
They criticized everything he did until he dropped out of the race.

This behavior you're seeing is completely normal according to the same media.

Trump: "The Democrats are getting killed on the shutdown, because we're closing up programs that are Democrat programs that we were opposed to. And they're never gonna come back."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Because Vought is actually the devil.

The White House budget office said it is preparing to "ride out" the shutdown.

Instead of negotiating a budget that protects peoples' health care, the White House will continue to fire federal employees and wait.

They don't want to end this, they just want to posture while Americans pay the price.

Literally the opposite of originalism. Make Article I great again! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

I do want you all to fight! But please don’t start carving out exceptions to lessen the pain for this or that group otherwise there will be no incentive to reach an agreement to re-open the whole government. That would give Vought even more of a free hand to permanently fire people & kill services.

This is a hugely important thread.🧵

It is not arcana. It is about a bedrock of the separation of powers that keeps the US from dictatorship. That is: Congress controls the purse & directs how federal $$ is spent.

Violating that to “pay the troops” is a giant nail in the coffin of the Constitution.

“If Congress lays down its arms on its most fundamental authority, I don’t know what leg they’re going to have to stand on,” said Brendan Buck, aide to former GOP House speakers Ryan and Boehner.

Agreed. It’s a baffling & frightening threat to the constitutional order.

in a way it's heartening to see journalists realizing they don't need physical access to the halls of power in order to report on what's happening in them.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
