Why would Trump—who allegedly knew of Epstein’s crimes—“spend hours” at a pedophile’s house with an underage victim?

Republicans are doubling your health insurance premiums while creating a taxpayer-funded CORRUPT GIVEAWAY for insurrectionist Senators.
They want a massive payday while you can’t afford basic care to stay alive.
Their corruption is unmatched.

Republicans took an 8-week paid vacation—then came back to screw working people.
They voted against feeding hungry kids & lowering healthcare costs. But don’t worry—they voted in favor of Trump’s $40B Argentina bailout.
Corrupt. Cruel. Cowardly.

Republicans thought they could get away with sneaking a massive slush fund for pro-insurrectionist senators into their corrupt funding package.
They’re giving themselves a million dollar payday while hiking your healthcare costs.

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.

See those 8 empty seats? That’s where Republicans should have been sitting.
But they didn’t even have the decency to debate us while taking healthcare away from millions of people after they shoveled tax break after tax break to billionaires.
Lazy, heartless & cruel.

Which is why I’ll be voting hell no. Republicans are giving tax breaks to billionaires while healthcare premiums double & triple for regular people.
Accepting a pinky promise to maybe have a vote on lowering healthcare costs is not a compromise. It's capitulation.
Hold. The. Line.

Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
