BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.
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.

Watch Rubio's face as he listens to Trump brag about acing the cognitive impairment test.
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…
The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.

This pic from Chicago today made me ponder how we see many enormous post-election rallies against Trump, but we never see enormous rallies *for* Trump. Sure, we see a score of people on the roadside with flags every so often, but nothing like this. Maybe he's just not as popular as he thinks he is.

They need to lie and spin like this because when people rally AGAINST Trump, they are peaceful and considerate (see, e.g., today), but when they rally FOR Trump they are violent and smear their feces on walls (see, e.g., Jan 6).

Leavitt: "They want food assistance programs for women and children and impoverished communities to continue going out the door. All of that will come to an end if Democrats vote against this CR that Republicans are proposing."

— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
