The fight tonight was over about $25 billion. Thats about 2.5% of the Defense budget. Would cover a year of the enhanced ACA credits. Republicans said that’s unaffordable.

NEW -- Trump's claim that the alleged smugglers he is summarily killing without charges or trials are bringing deadly fentanyl to the US is a total lie.
DoD, in fact, has told Congress that they haven't found that opioid in the debris. Only cocaine.

Shutdown is very uncomplicated. Trump & Republicans will starve 42 million Americans unless Democrats agree to kick 20+ million Americans off of any healthcare insurance. Kicker is that Republicans intend to do both, regardless of what Democrats choose to do at this particular hostage situation.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Rucho is one of the worst decisions in the mostly ignominious history of the Supreme Court and the forthcoming nullification of the VRA will only make it worse
North Carolina already one of most gerrymandered states. Now GOP passing new gerrymander giving Rs nearly 80% of seats in state where Trump got 51%. Specifically targets Black Dem Don Davis. This is preview of what post-Voting Rights Act America will look like www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged
North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

When Truman renovated the White House, he “relied on congressional appropriation and formal oversight by the Commission of Fine Arts and NCPC.”

Davis spent the Biden years positioning himself for a job in Trump’s second term DOJ, then immediately fumbled it by saying he wanted to “drag [Dems’] dead political bodies through the streets” the day after the election.
