HAYES: “Let me be as clear as I can — Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.
BREAKING: A federal judge says L.A.-based US attorney Bill ESSAYLI has been acting in the role unlawfully since July, declaring him disqualified from the position. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

The shutdown is rolling out the red carpet. Congress and the Senate can’t be dissolved because that would be dissolving the Union. Rendering them into useless puppets is very convenient for a dictator.
💜 thank you for sharing, you belong in the world, just like me, just like everyone else

Zohran Mamdani’s comments on Islamophobia literally brought me to tears yesterday. He’s made so many people, including me, feel seen—and I’m not even Muslim. Whatever anyone thinks of him, that’s incredibly special.

Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Today, protesting takes bravery that many didn’t realize they had in them considering the current regime. However, protesting alone takes huge courage! We don’t see this account here on Bluesky but thought they need exposure from TikTok.

How about opening the Hospitals first instead of pissing $40 billion of our money on a Country whose economy is continuing to go down the toilet. 🤬
