GRIFT: A cunning, deceptive scheme, often involving a con or swindle

GRAFT: To abuse ones position of power for personal gain, like a politician taking bribes.

In short, "grift" is more about the method of deception, while "graft" is more about the misuse of authority to gain something illicitly.

This was on so many posts last night and if the image wasn't posted some kind of reference to it was made. Com'on Dems. Get your collective heads out of your posterior.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Maybe Zohran Mamdani should have come out for ending the shutdown so Democratic Senators could have opposed it.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

I've cut all ties with friends and family who support Trump. It's not about my politics, it's about morality. There's no empathy within the MAGA cult; they're all morally bankrupt.

I knew I had to protect my inner peace and being around MAGA was toxic, so I cut all ties and I have zero regrets.

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

There are no press releases during the shutdown, making it difficult to find this kind of news.
But the AK Air/Army National Guards, and the USCG, are conducting SAR operations. The flooding is in remote areas, and affecting primarily small villages, it appears.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."
