silly me but I read this headline quickly and initially thought he was referring to ICE agents.

If you want to have an informed opinion about police conduct, I highly recommend following @pmskinner.bsky.social He's in the trenches and writes about these issues. (warning: there's also a lot of cat content)
Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

Yesterday, Congress released testimony from a federal prosecutor that his team had evidence beyond reasonable doubt that a president, while in office, committed felonies to overturn an election and, yet, most of my timeline this morning is "did you see the WSJ article about Trump eating Big Macs?"

I know there's still a lot going on, but just watched the new Knives Out movie with the fam, and it's excellent. We're debating whether it's just as good or better than the first one.

Does anyone know if this bailout is authorized by existing law or will it require something new to be passed? Maybe @bbkogan.bsky.social can write up a post?

If a new law is required, what should Dems ask for in return for supporting this?
“.. By my count, today's $12B farmer bailout is the FIFTH thing that Trump's tariffs were gonna pay for.”

I’m holding out hope that every democratic candidate for president will commit to demolishing it in January 2029.
"The latest plan, which officials said was still preliminary, calls for a ballroom much larger than the West Wing and the Executive Mansion. Mr. Trump has said publicly that he would like a ballroom big enough to hold a crowd for a presidential inauguration."

Hope this doesn’t get lost in the debate about the double tap strike. The first tap was very likely murder as well.
This.

The second strike is important bc AFTER that one, they started leaving survivors (plus, why the fuck can't Whiskey Pete's DOD manage to destroy a boat in uncontested waters the first strike?).

But all these are murder. Murder murder murder murder.
The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.

This bullshit is making everything worse and the only thing I’m sure of is that I will continue to spend five figures a year to access four figures of care just in case I need seven figures of care.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

<evergreen> There will never be a Trump healthcare plan, because he fundamentally doesn't understand how health care works in this country.
Hey kids the Trump Healthcare
Plan just dropped!

Does he not realize that if he gives us the money, we just give it to the insurance companies for health insurance.

The ACA subsidies are set up to just skip that step.

Collins: When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that?

Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.

Almost 5 years as president now and he has no idea how government appropriations work.

It's very clear he thinks all spending decisions are made by, and go through, him, like back in the Trump Organization days.
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."
November 7, 2025 at 1:20 AM
This.
This.
1000x this.
If the president insists on unilaterally illegally not spending money he must spend and unilaterally illegally spending money he doesn’t have — and Congressional Republicans insist on maintaining the power to unilaterally legally change the budget — how can you come to a budget agreement?
