Lemme be succinct for a minute then I'll log off because this is pointless:

The pro-natalist thing is pretty firmly rooted in racism and xenophobia. Anti-immigration sentiment.

You are doing a service to it if you try to remove that component and debate its merits in isolation.

Jeffries: "The streets are hot right now on Capitol Hill because the Republicans are just falling apart. They cannot justify their position having shut the government down. They cannot justify their position in terms of hiding the Epstein files from the American people."

FFS.

This isn’t about saving lives for Trump, it’s about building a justification for an illegal third term.

He’s such a little gremlin.

Utterly impossible to argue otherwise.

Even if you laughably believed Trump wasn’t in the files, Johnson is protecting everyone in them!

JB to Trib: This is a man who’s suffering dementia. This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can’t get it out of his head. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

All of this, but I would argue that decline is much too kind a word. Death throes is much closer to the truth.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Trump: Everything we're doing is very lawful and what they're doing is not lawful.

And what the governor and mayor, as an example, you can say of Portland and certainly of Chicago, it's not lawful what they're doing. They have to be very careful.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8h
Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

My beloved is in Chicago right now on business and showed me with his cell phone, the protesters organizing outside his Hotel room window. If you think seeing it on the news freaks you out, seeing it on your husband’s cell phone is 100 times worse!! Praying for peace and persistent protesting. WIN!

It's so important to nip the framing of this reporting in the bud right now.

Don't accept the narrative that Trump and his team only just started discussing invoking the Insurrection Act. January 6 happened because his White House was in conversation with radicals about what it'd take to invoke it.
Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say
A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.
