We found that a company with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly got money from DHS contracts.
“It’s corrupt, is the word,” a contract law expert said. “Hiding your friends as subcontractors is like playing hide the salami with the taxpayer.”

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

I realize there's a lot going on with the shutdown, BUT DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER SPIRITUAL ADVISOR JUST PLED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Seems like something the media might want to ask the president about—if he ever stops hiding.

mainstream media is writing about trump & epstein...but those articles don't inform readers that trump was held liable for sexual assault.
that's because they're covering epstein as a MAGA rift story, not as a story about trump's character or fitness. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/epstein-co...

But even a 10% cut would prevent an estimated 30 new medications from reaching the market over the next 30 years.
