New on MS NOW: Statement from New York AG Letitia James:
"As I have said from the start, the charges against me are baseless. It is time for this unchecked weaponization of our justice system to stop."

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

I wish every Dem in Congress would stand up in a body & denounce in unvarnished English what's really going on which is that we're being perverted into a technologically weaponized Gestapo & if there's a Republican who has a conscience they'd be welcome too but I'm not holding my breath for that.

I just took a Tylenol and one of the side-effects was chronic curiosity about who else is in the Epstein Files. Ask your doctor if apprehending pedophiles is right for you.

A reminder that the Senate is controlled by Republicans (as is the House, White House, and Supreme Court), so any shutdown was caused by Republicans, and Republicans only.
