Anti-vax in the streets, pro-vax in the sheets
The readout from President Trump's visit to Walter Reed today says he got his flu shot and Covid booster.
Fuck ups like this are why you don’t put Brian Kilmeade’s understudy in charge of the Pentagon
Important clarification: The U.S. military has a long-standing partnership w/ Qatar, including today’s announced cooperation w/ F-15QA aircraft. However, to be clear, Qatar will not have their own base in the United States—nor anything like a base. We control the existing base,…
This is just an insane thing to say about the No Kings rally in particular, which was *ostentatiously* peaceful and orderly last time with organizers taking considerable pains to keep it so
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
Masked federal agents arresting reporters because they feel like it
I guess we now know what a free airplane will get you
Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."
I am sure Scalise does not care about doubling the premiums of millions of Americans, but maybe he cares about the fact that 57% of MAGA voters want the tax credits extended
SCALISE takes hard line against extending ACA subsidies. Calls Obamacare a “sink hole”. Says answer is association health plans and HSA accounts
For the MAGA Republican Party: Peaceful protest in support of democracy is terrorism, and a violent assault on the Capitol to overturn an election is patriotism
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."
Governor JB Pritzker breaks down his concerns regarding ways Trump could interfere in the 2026 election.
The President of the United States is completely detached from reality
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
Amazing that the 9 House Republicans in toss-up races are now to the right of @mtgreenee on health care. Seems like a bad place to be
Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN (!): "I'm getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren't gonna be able to have health insurance. They're going to have to drop it."
So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago,…
I know everyone on this site cares passionately about the information security habits of top Government officials, but the President of the United States communicating with his cabinet via Truth Social direct message is both insane and a violation of the Presidential Records Act
This Reuters headline. Oof. Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE. reuters.com/world/us/trump…
An underrated aspect of the shutdown: Republicans won't bring the House back into session because they'd have to seat Grijalva which would put the Epstein discharge petition over the top, so neither chamber can hold votes on message bills designed to squeeze Democrats.
Seems notable
NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse
It actually seems sort of obvious that if you’re investigating a former president of the United States for trying to subvert an election, you’d probe some of contacts he and alleged co-conspirators had with people he was trying to enlist/pressure to overturn the results.
Why would the FBI need to look at the toll records of senators? See Footnote 132 in Smith’s final report: At around the same time as he issued his 6:01 p.m. Tweet, Mr. Trump tried to reach two U.S. Senators, and he also directed Co-Conspirator 1 to call Members of Congress…
It's really not sustainable for Republicans to single-handedly double premiums when prices are the top issue and Trump's approval rating on inflation is 30 points underwater.
A new nonpartisan report found that health care premiums will DOUBLE if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire. @HouseDemocrats are ready to support a bipartisan plan that lowers costs. Republicans need to come back from vacation & do their jobs. kff.org/affordable-car…
Republicans did this. I’m fighting to stop it.
