Men ages 18 to 40 are not kids. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

“Cages” or chain link fences were used for temporary (ideally no longer than 72 hrs.) housing of unaccompanied minors under Obama. Trump intentionally separated families. Not ideal, but not the same. And deportations were done legally.

A devastating flood tore through Kipnuk; five months earlier, federal funding meant to help the village withstand disasters was abruptly cut. Lee Zeldin revoked the grant, citing a new push to eliminate what he called “wasteful DEI grants.”

👉 No one believes Epstein killed himself. Not Trump, not his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, not his brother, not Dr Baden

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

2/ Democrats aren't going to vote for a budget that throws millions off health care and funds Trump's growing totalitarianism. At least I'm not.

Why work so hard to get to the Senate if you don't use your power to fight for what you believe in? Especially at a time like this.

3/ The Senate keeps voting on 2 bills to reopen.

1. The GOP bill - it raises premiums on 22m Americans and lets Trump keep acting illegally.

2. The Dem bill - it stops the premium increases and checks Trump's illegality.

Each time, neither bill gets the necessary 60 votes.

8/ But Trump doesn't want to end the shutdown. Because he thinks he's a king and he doesn't believe the law applies to him. He thinks he has extra powers in a shutdown. He doesn't.

But the longer Republicans boycott talks, the more the shutdown will hurt. So it's their move.
