Favorite PINO story was when he gave Christie the task of assembling the new admin by vetting & shepherding a thousand nominees. He was summarily fired when PINO found out he was raising his own money, as required by law, and not tithing to Trump. “I don’t care about the law! I want my money!”

Congress is playing politics with people's lives. These are the very people that Congress supposedly works for. Tell your Congresspersons to stop playing games and extend the damn ACA tax credits

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves
Unfortunately, lawmakers probably won’t end up extending them, either.

In the past, Pete Hegseth described the refusal of illegal commands as part of the military’s ethos — a message he now condemns Democrats for spreading.

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández—pardoned by Trump while the counting in Honduras’ current presidential election is still in progress—-was accused not only of drug trafficking, but also of election fraud during the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections. 1/

If our insurance rates and medical spending was the same as the next most expensive country, WE WOULD HABE NO DEFICIT.

Medicare for all would wipe out our debt.

What the Fuck is Washington doing?

Oh my God. The government is corrupted by the for profit healthcare system.

Poetry can help you jail break a Chatbot to teach you how to build nuclear weapons.

I already know how, so it’s not helping me. But what about terrorists? The cat is out of the bag.

Damn. The techno-Lords are really screwing this up.

The white power culture i guess, is what she is referring to.
Most white people who are good decent folk are disgusted by these people.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

A clip of Hegseth discussing the strike the next day with Fox News resurfaced online Monday night. trib.al/rWmW8bN

In the clip, Hegseth said he watched the second strike, to kill survivors from their initial attack, on September 2, "I watched it live. We knew exactly who was in that boat."

Two months ago I wrote about why my law firm is litigating 63 voting and election cases. Today it is 65 cases covering more than half the country. Eleven of them involve redistricting.

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
