Kristi Noem is lying. Again.

Facts.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.”
The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?"

"No on Prop 50" Chair: [silence]

"It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide."

RAJU: Given how dire things are for so many Americans right now, how do you justify the administration giving this big massive bailout to Argentina?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we give the execution of foreign policy to the executive branch. We trust the president. Let's talk about the government shutdown

Moulton: He’s auditioning to be the weakest Speaker in American history. And actually, maybe it’s not an audition anymore — he’s affirmatively the weakest Speaker in American history. He’s completely throwing out the Constitution. He might as well not be in Congress.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase “Quick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.
