On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

The president said today that a donor had given the government $130 million to help pay troops during the government shutdown. He declined to name the donor, but described him as a “patriot” and a personal friend.

If evenly distributed, the money would pay only about $100 to each service member. But is not yet clear how the money will be used, or whether the donation violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations.

So the US military is about to become the Drug Enforcement Agency for South America since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of foreign policy.

Shaheen: What’s ironic about this is that 57% of people who identify as MAGA Republicans benefit from those tax credits. 76% of people who receive premium tax credits are in states that Trump won. I don’t understand why our colleagues have been so reluctant to address this looming problem.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

Scott: She said she wants to fire people because they’re gay—and she interrupts to say, “Excuse me, that’s not discrimination.” I’ve never seen anything like that in my life… She’s running with someone on her ticket who happens to be gay. I guess she’s going to fire him too.

ICE/DHS, FBI, and local police on horseback, along with a secret police force in black tactical gear, were witnessed violently confronting the relatives of individuals abducted during a raid at a "Family Day" rodeo in Idaho. Among those who have gone missing are children and U.S. citizens.
