Hey the house of reps has had all of Oct and most of September off because Speaker Johnson is desperate to not release the Epstein files.

Have they been filling the time with town halls? I mean they have a full month off… maybe a couple town halls each right?

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B.

That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Priorities.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Tonight, I’m hosting a town hall on the Republican Shutdown. As we enter the fourth week of this shutdown and Republicans continue to refuse to come to the table — I’ll be answering your questions.

beyond belief. I cannot wait until all these ICE mofo's try to get jobs after Dump croaks. They will be homeless and no one will give a fuck, full stop. #FUCKTRUMP #jailTrump #FICE

ICE agents hold teens at gunpoint at Oregon coffee shop

The confrontation is an example of the Trump administration’s increased immigration crackdown in Oregon in recent months.

Trump said to demand DOJ pay him $230 million

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election.
