getting two pinky swears from Republicans, including one that they will merely follow the law, is laughably thin gruel

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’
In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell's treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

The reason that these Black-owned farms are able to do this is because they never go the subsidies the white farmers did this. And when Biden tried to correct this, the white farmers got mad. But now the Black-farmers are not being hurt as bad by Trump's policies. Reverse Uno Card here.
From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

Trump wants to end the ACA. He said Republicans should send ACA payments meant for insurers directly to Americans.
The math isn’t mathing. My premium’s up way more than the tax credit, and everyone’s costs are different. How would they manage that when they can’t manage basic governance?

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This, my friends, is what real (not fake) religious people do….
“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”
