Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.

I was harsh, it really seems to be the norm. All these ultra magat christian nationalists talk about is going back to jesus & traditional american values(whatever tf that means), & save the children from groomers & pedos & traffickers. Then, the next thing you see is their mug shot & a pic w/cheeto.

FT Edit @ftedit.ft.com · 9h

Unlike most US presidents, who make financial sacrifices for the job, Donald Trump is billions of dollars richer since entering the White House. How has he done it? The FT investigates his rapidly growing crypto empire — fuelled by his own policies.

Advice I’m taking to heart myself:

It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of the “model-tested” candidate or something new. But we’ve got to do our homework — background checks, research, the whole nine yards.

In case famers haven’t been told yet, Frumpy lies. Every day, anywhere, anytime.

Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out.

The White House blames Democrats and the government shutdown for the delay of their multi-billion-dollar bailout, but that’s just one of many problems the administration faces.

The Trump Administration has RIF’d career civil servants since day one.

While a federal judge may have provided temporary reprieve for federal employees during the shutdown, we must keep fighting to protect all federal employees from unprecedented and illegal RIFs.

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.
