Republicans are finally back from their 8-week paid vacation.

Would say welcome back, but their new spending bill fails to save healthcare and lower rising costs.

Will be voting no.

Montgomery County (Md.) council member Kristin Mink: ICE agents "crossed a parking lot to get in my face, pull me by the arm, and attempt to grab my phone."

1. Some in plain clothes
2. In masks/sunglasses
3. No badges that I could see
4. Unmarked cars

Mink is correct about her rights— the #first Amendment allows her to record what they're doing.

I will make sure every single person remembers that the same Republicans who did everything in their power to make tax breaks for billionaires PERMANENT refused to even negotiate ONE YEAR of health care tax credits for working families, at a tiny fraction of that cost.

BREAKING: Today's emails contradict Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with Todd Blanche.

She said she never saw Trump at Epstein's house.

In a newly released 2011 email Epstein tells Maxwell that Trump spent time with a victim at Epstein's house.

Groceries are cheaper if you do it the right way. First go to the oval office and give the president a fake award and tell him he's very strong and handsome. He will then call the grocery store and threaten them until they give you a discount. It's called the free market

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

No paywall. Release all the Epstein files now. We all know this is a bipartisan national tragedy. Reveal them all.
"House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged."

I would think the "spent hours with" and the context in which that is raised is the revelation requiring further inquiry.
I know this is a big revelation but on some level the claim that Trump didn’t know is so completely absurd (“a secret is a wonderful thing”) that it doesn’t feel like a revelation at all.
