This video shows tech bros telling us exactly how they want to carve up the world into fiefdoms and destroy democracy. Sounds horrible and it is, but it’s actually hopeful because they’re so clueless. If we unite, we can defeat them.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

40 million Americans, including children, seniors and people with disabilities, will lose funds used to buy groceries. No admin has ever allowed SNAP benefits to expire during a shutdown. Not only does the law require it but it’s the right thing to do. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sta...

Please explain to me, like I am a seven year old child of a Republican lawmaker, ICE or DHS agent, why, if destruction of federal property is a federal crime, hundreds of rioters who vandalized and damaged the United States Capitol on January 6 are not in prison for a "MINIMUM TEN YEARS"?

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of β€œwhat if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! β€œThank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.
