Mike Johnson on SNAP benefits ending Saturday: "The White House has all the pain dials turned back to just a 0 or a 1 as best they can, but when you're out or resources they go all the way up. And it's out of their hands, it's out of our hands."

Gov. Pritzker: "They literally did a military attack on a building with a Black Hawk helicopter...You don't arrest an entire building, detain everybody, zip tie children, hold elderly people in a U-Haul for house — U.S. citizens!"

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) warns that the $230M payout won't be public: “Our reading is that, even though this is a private settlement, it doesn’t have to be disclosed anywhere until there is an accounting of where all the money has gone at the end of the year."

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:

1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself [about x issue]?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?

The new pentagon press corps is a predictable clown car of loyalists.

To be crystal clear: trump is talking about taxpayers paying him millions of dollars as some sort of restitution because he was investigated for sending a mob to the US capitol on Jan 6th to overthrow the 2020 election. That might just be he most f*cked up thing he’s done since Jan 6th…
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Scary when I agree with Rand
Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.

WTF is he even talking about?
Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

In an old movie called “Fantastic Voyage,” scientists were miniaturized and inserted into a patient’s bloodstream on a mission to remove a clot in his brain. I've been thinking about the clot lodged in the media’s brain since 2015. So I took a voyage into the media's thought process. My new piece.

Was Paul Ingrassia just another one of those “kids in a text chain” that Vance likes to make excuses for?

It’s hard to keep track of all the racists that Trump elevates to positions of power.

Don’t expect any apologies or consequences.

He will fail upward like the rest.

Next time someone tells you democrats are responsible for the shutdown, say the following in a calm, collected tone:

- Democrats are fighting for millions of Americans to not lose their healthcare

- Republicans are threatening to hurt more Americans if Democrats don’t cave

Enunciate the big words
