Shorter J.D. Vance: "We do not think $1.8 billion is too much to pay to have shit smeared on the walls of the U.S. Capitol!"

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social

Q: The price tag for this DOJ fund is $1.8 billion. People can't afford groceries. Gas is high. People are making sacrifices in their personal lives. How can you justify that amount of taxpayer money for that fund when people are struggling? Vance: We think the fund is very reasonable

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Seems the whole of govt are more concerned w/ leaving historic legacies w/out concern for damages to the country & world. They're all on the wrong side of history. When corrupt acts of selfish, individual SCOTUS justices leads the people to disbelieve in legalities. www.rawstory.com/john-roberts...

<sarcasm>Well, it's a good thing J.D. Vance is on the fraud beat!</sarcasm>

After Mariela's daughter was detained, she reached out to what she thought was a Catholic Charities Facebook page, only to lose $18,000 in a scam involving a fake priest, a fake judge and another man impersonating an immigration lawyer.

The real tragedy here is that unable to accomplish anything substantial, Johnson will compensate by rage posting on Facebook.

The House meets this morning to vote on a procedural step to advance three legislative priorities: government spy powers that expire Thursday, the farm bill, and a budget resolution for immigration enforcement funding. House GOP leadership doesn’t appear to have the votes to advance anything.

If Trump's 'math' was at all legitimate, businesses would advertise 200% off, not half off.

BlueDream@58bugeye.bsky.social

NO…. There is not a different way to calculate it! Any fifth grader knows a price reduction of 100% results in a product that costs $0. It’s simple mathematics! Is Trump a complete imbecile who can’t learn from his mistakes or a buffoon incapable of admitting that he made a mistake?

Speaking of sex offenders, where are the Epstein Files?

Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

>> TRUMP: Nobody has been able to give me an accurate number. Everything is a lot. One is a lot. << If only he felt the same about America.

Q: How many protesters have been killed in Iran. TRUMP: Nobody has been able to give me an accurate number. Everything is a lot. One is a lot.

Lisa McCain finds it very odd that people are protesting the murderer Jonathan 'Fuckin' Bitch' Ross and the Gestapo defending him? That's way odder, Lisa.

Rep. Lisa McClain: "I think it's very very odd. So everyone in Minnesota is protesting ICE, who is actually trying to keep legal Americans safe. Why wouldn't those people be protesting the fraud in Minneapolis if they really care about their communities and children? Seems kind of upside down."

apnews.com/article/vanc... “We are the ones that have done a great job on affordability, not the Democrats. We just lost an election, they said, based on affordability. It’s a con job by the Democrats.” - Donald Trump Maybe JV Vance is trying to distance himself from Quiet Piggy?

apnews.comVance says Americans need patience on prices but says 'We hear you' on affordability concernsWhile President Donald Trump has struggled to settle on a way to address Americans’ concerns about high costs, Vice President JD Vance on Thursday offered a more direct and empathetic message, saying,...

After 108 people, including 37 children, died in floods, Greg Abbott's response is to become laser-focused to redistrict Texas for the second time in four years. It's like he's going for the gold medal in incompetence.

And by 'reverses', they clearly mean 'breaks'.

NPR@npr.org

Earlier this month, the government websites that hosted the authoritative, peer-reviewed national climate assessments went dark. Officials say they're only obligated to give the reports to Congress.

ICE: You Don't Have To Be A Sociopath To Work Here...But It Helps!

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Transgenic mice, Kush, not transgender. It was quite the kerfuffle a few weeks back. If you're still conflating the two now, chances are you're doing it on purpose and you are a base, dishonest person. But hey, it's your credibility.

A White House spokesperson framed DOGE's involvement as a positive: “Paying so-called ‘experts’ to deliberate bad ideas for hundreds of hours is exactly the kind of waste that DOGE is eliminating.”

I wouldn't mind if this became known as the Alito and Thomas Dissent Era.

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

My House representative, Beth Van Duyne (TX-24), is a tariff touter.

Melanie D’Arrigo@darrigomelanie.bsky.social

The Trump Tariff Tax Hike kicks in today: - higher prices - costs the average family $5200 more - higher unemployment - reduced U.S. GDP of up to 8% - likely recession He’ll probably go golfing at his country club again to celebrate.

Despite nominally being Secretary of State, Marco Rubio seems content to let JD Vance run point on handing the Donbass to the Russians. I guess he doesn't see an upside to being the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st century.

You are up to date.
