The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying β€œwe have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

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.
I effing hate Krysten Sinema & I hope one day she makes a bad deal & she sees time behind bars.

The REAL FACTS about SNAP benefits and why Trump & the GOP are hurting millions of Americans with their stupidity
The cruelty is a feature, not a bug & SNAP benefits are weaponized in disgusting ways to smear beneficiaries.

My thoughts on how Trump is pissing away money while denying financial assistance to lower-income households, including children, the elderly, & the disabled.

> "a September contingency plan, since deleted from the USDA’s website...said Congress intended 'that SNAP’s operations should continue' and that contingency funds 'are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs [mid-fiscal year]'"

The Trump Administration’s assertion that it can't use SNAP’s contingency reserves for SNAP benefits is contrary to:
β–ͺ️The plain language of the law
β–ͺ️Their own (now deleted) shutdown plan
β–ͺ️Guidance from prior Administrations

We have the receipts:
SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past
The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

Someone should also tell Mikey that’s there’s actually a contingency fund for SNAP that’s available for if funds run out- at least $5 Billion is available

The think that really annoys me about this is, if all of the East Wing demolition was bc of the bunker upgrade, I would be fine with that.
I would hope to limit damage above ground, I’d be OK with tax payers assisting in *SOME* of the payment-but to just lie & hide it?! Yeah- that stinks like πŸ’©
Why does it seem like all the elites are building themselves bunkers?…

Trump also is apparently just happening to take advantage of the East Wing construction to upgrade the Presidential bunker with military assistance… with an unknown donation to the military. 1/

This is a bizarre argument, even for Miller-Meeks.

Yes, Democrats have extended ACA premium credits before. Why is it now β€œunreasonable” for Dems to ask to work with Republicans to do it again?

Please explain why stopping Iowans’ premiums from TRIPLING is unreasonable.

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

HEY- DNC, Gov Mills!

FYI: after Gov Mills announced her run for Senate I got about 10 -TEN- text messages asking for donations within 24 hrs!! I replied STOP. It DID NOT STOP.
