3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program

4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Just like it’s still National Airport!
Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

Did Melania sponsor this one too?
Trump is cutting funding that helps end homelessness.

And now, over 170,000 people are at risk of being pushed out of homes and back onto the streets.

We’re in a housing crisis.

The solution isn’t kicking people out of their homes – it’s building more housing.

A promise of a vote is useless. Don't cave.
“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

The turkey is the one at the microphone.
Trump: "I just saw that Walmart came out last night that Thanksgiving this year will cost 25% less than last year ... that's emblematic of the rest of prices." (They shrunk the turkey and made the meal smaller.)

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.

BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

Trump’s ICE detained Kilmar Abrego García this morning—snatching him without cause. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s political terror.

Deporting him to Uganda is cruel and unnecessary. Ripping him from his family is next level evil. His family needs him.

We must fight for him.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia taken into ICE custody, lawyer says
CBS News reported that hours after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from criminal custody, his attorneys were sent a court-required notice of his potential deportation to Uganda.

As long as Hamas holds the hostages, accusing Israel of genocide will always be absurd.

What genocide in history could have ended instantly if one side agreed to release the innocent people it abducted and tortured for almost two years?

It is now that thethe government’s actions should be void because DT assumes powers he doesn’t have and no one challenges him.
I’m really coming around to the (alarming!) idea that Trump just gonna just say one day that Joe Biden wasn’t actually president all 4 years and so everything he ever signed - laws, pardons, whatever - is just void. And of course our idiot court system & Congress will be like OK
Trump: "We are gonna go into very much -- remember what I said. The autopen. This government was illegally run for four years."

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. 

Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.

And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for your leadership in fighting against Trump's immigrant detention and deportation agenda, please keep it up in the budget reconciliation markup!

All Dems must oppose any additional funding that can be used to snatch and disappear more members of our communities.

She has offended every person that has ever been part of an adoptive family with her inane and cruel comments. Biology does not automatically make you a good parent or a bad parent. It only makes you an egg donor or a sperm donor.
I can’t believe my ears!!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that adoptive or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She even told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.”

You should listen to the @dailybeanspod.bsky.social instead. News with swearing, and absolutely ZERO Scott Jenningses. Music by They Might Be Giants. Hosted by me and @dgcomedy.bsky.social. Who could ask for anything more?
