Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

This is nuts. And we would like to know more about these "guided missile warheads."

Good reporting via @juddlegum.bsky.social / @popular.info

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 700 percent this year

The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

One of the things that I’ve been forced to face and take the loss on is that all of the people who critiqued Bernie for his dismissive stances on identity politics were largely correct. This is a very bad response from a guy who should know better.

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware. When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

State rep. Hoan Huynh shared video of agents surrounding his vehicle/stopping him + staffers shortly after he said one agent pointed a gun inside his vehicle at him while another threatened to break a window. They were following feds in Albany Park after four people were reportedly taken.

The entire nation is talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs – and for good reason.

In this shutdown, we're holding the line against the Trump Administration's lawlessness to fight for a country we can all afford.

The White House Demolition sponsorship list (see below).

Comparing names. Is support for this madness shrinking or growing since the inauguration?
