A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.
Paywalled...here's the full text such as it is for now.

We'll see if Axios is full of shit again or not.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

VICTORY: Judge Ellis granted the most powerful rebuke of the Trump admin’s immigration enforcement tactics yet — a preliminary injunction to more permanently stop the violent and lawless tactics federal agents have deployed against protestors, press, and clergy in the Chicago area.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

BIG. Judge Ellis' expanded preliminary injunction in Chicago aims to more aggressively limit DHS's use of riot munitions.
Ellis is reading the terms into the record. It seems to track her temporary restraining order, barring various uses of force "unless such force is objectively necessary to stop an immediate threat."
Let's pray that ICR wearing ID happens.

Trump administration now telling grocers they can't offer special discounts to people so badly affected by the loss of SNAP.
For what purpose?
These are likely regular customers
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Better late than never..this is a clear 12 point checklist of Trump leading the country to autocracy.
"..it has started down an anti-democratic path, and many Americans — including people in positions of power — remain far too complacent about the threat."
More people need to wake up
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has, often in open defiance of the law. His actions have raised a chilling question,” writes the Times editorial board.

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

Remember when we saw video of big plastic bags being tossed out of the Lincoln bathroom window?
On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

The video starts with what looks like a Nazi salute.
These people are not keeping America safe.
Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security.

None of this is normal.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL

It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.

Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.

Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

Someone needs to get Trump to step back from his impulsive decisions.
No country is currently testing nuclear weapons.
The US hasn't done testing since 1992.
Why start now?

1/3 John Knox, anti-vaccine activist, is now acting head of ASPR -- the agency that handles pandemic response.

He’s called COVID vaccine campaigns “nothing other than genocide.” 😶

Not exactly reassuring...
Meet the anti-vaccine activist who could lead the response to the next pandemic
Former firefighter John Knox's ties to RFK Jr. have landed him atop the agency that helped bring Covid-19 under control. People in the know are worried.

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.

DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

This is the correct response to the question. Media needs to read the 22nd amendment
HUNT: The president is talking about a third term. How seriously do you take that?

GALLEGO: I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that
