Waters: This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we're all doing: resisting this lowdown dirty no good filthy president

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

The House Oversight Committee’s GOP members released a tranche of 20,000 files from the Epstein estate after Democrats released multiple emails of Esptein mentioning Trump.

The Supreme Court just refused to stay this young girl's removal to Venezuela, uprooting her from her life in Texas to a foreign country where neither of her parents currently live. Sotomayor and Jackson note their dissents.

Just throwing this out there for reasons apnews.com/article/2022...

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Think about this… Trump’s “BBB” gave ICE an additional $100 BILLION! Let's put this in perspective: That's an ADDITIONAL $100B over their original budget, which equates to about TEN MONTHS of SNAP benefits. And for what? So that the US government can fund a secret police force to terrorize people!!

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

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.

Worth remembering…

One of these men used violence (including chemical weapons) against his own people, arbitrary arrest, unlawful detention, enforced disappearance, and various forms of repression to control the population and built lavish palaces and monuments for himself. The other is a picture of Saddam Hussein.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna is introducing legislation to ban the president, his family, members of Congress, and all elected officials from trading crypto or stocks.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Lying Thief in the W.H. has admitted to using the autopen. Does that mean all the J6 traitors he pardoned aren't pardoned? As Bush said, it is legal to use the autopen. Stop wasting taxpayer funds with useless distractions, start governing & release the trumpstein files. Corrupt liars.

Representative Ro Khanna is introducing a resolution on Monday to stop US presidents, family members of presidents, and members of Congress from trading in crypto and accepting money from foreign entities while in office. Do you support this?

Same judge considering Comey’s motion to dismiss on the ground that Halligan was illegally appointed. Judge Currie - a Clinton appointee - will consider whether to consolidate the James and Comey motions.

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

So, do anyone know that since they are leaving people to starve for the holidays and not give them foodstamps to feed their families. If they have stamps on the card already will the be able to still use their EBT cards?

BREAKING: Binance’s CZ has been pardoned by Trump

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents? Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

What was a hypo last year now a concrete question; can Billups just pay Trump for a pardon? Or to drop the case? #ThanksJohnRoberts

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Please watch and share widely my friends…

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Prosecuting enemies. Releasing allies. Profiting off of the Oval Office. Extrajudicial killings. Illegal acts. Ignoring the Constitution. Detaining Americans without cause. Sending the military into American cities. Whoever came up with the slogan #NoKings was a f*cking prophet. Fight back!

Well I’m shocked. Another cop using his power to manipulate and groom a sixth-grade girl, even planting a camera in the sixth-grade girls' bathroom. 🤢🤢🤢 I think we may have a cop problem and not a crime problem. If you're raping kids, you're lying about everything else. It's science

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

He was gutting them before the shutdown too. This isn’t on the democrats.

8/ But Trump doesn't want to end the shutdown. Because he thinks he's a king and he doesn't believe the law applies to him. He thinks he has extra powers in a shutdown. He doesn't. But the longer Republicans boycott talks, the more the shutdown will hurt. So it's their move.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable: Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut. Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

6/ Sure the House isn't here so Rs don't have to explain why they want premiums to go up and why they want to fund Trump's corruption. But also because they don't want to swear in member-elect Adelita Grijalva. Since she would be the deciding vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker. The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess. And why?
