Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

tЯump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military.
The Russians have finally offered enough money to the tЯump family and tЯump is 100% on Russia's side now.
This is blatant corruption...

I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

I will also never get over the cruel irony of conservatives voting to "protect" kids by outlawing gender affirming care... in a country where the biggest threat to American youth is firearms- something conservatives have gleefully done nothing to protect our kids from.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Nice work, Speaker Jeffries.
Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
