If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
I don't know what broad contours, potential or real results are in relation to the economy
What an ass
More generally: Trump’s economic policy makes more sense once you recognize it’s just an elaborate bribe-solicitation mechanism.

Same with people in threads frustrated with the actions of one or two Dems saying 'Don't support/donate to Dems until XXX happens'
Just ridiculous advice. They're either foreign influence/Republican trolls or unsure how democracy works. Taking your toys and going home is not one of the options

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
I proudly joined hundreds of actors, directors, comedians, filmmakers, and industry professionals--and yes, content creators!--to oppose the WBD-Paramount merger. I refuse to stay silent as big media corporations seek to hurt our industry and consumers.

Oh look! Another example of who tort reform would protect.
Uber should just suck it up and buy insurance. Oooh! And it should insure its drivers. But that would make it less of an app and more of a cab company…
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?
Child: Mayor.
Normal, happy people laughing
That pocket square isn't even a passive aggressive swipe at this Execution Branch
It's a reference to Congress
Media that succumbs to the whims of a tyrant is not a fair & balanced media. It's just propaganda
OMG Mamdani and Obama sing “Wheels on the Bus” with kids in NYC. 💕💕

anyway, if this court is going to act as little more than a partisan legislature than it ought to be treated like one by the actual legislature
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
NEW: We obtained the government’s settlement agreement with Michael Flynn.
As previously reported, DOJ agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle Flynn’s claims that he was wrongfully prosecuted.
But docs suggest a separate settlement could be in the works: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/u.s....
it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.
John Roberts was angry that the legal system is slow, that change occurred before he could put his fingers on the scales. So he took a shortcut
Toss is the lack of anything resembling ethics and here we are. A Supreme Court that is a cheap imitation of itself

Calico cat on a brown rug
I miss my calico. She was such a sweetheart. She took for granted that all people and other cats loved her and wanted a snuggle
She chose us at the shelter when she was 2. She'd been a catch and release which is hard to believe with her outgoing personality
I'm a new subscriber in the last year. But it's definitely something I read consistently. While worth the subscription price.
If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.
Functionally no. But that's not the point. 1) It CAN create different atmospherics be getting different conversations started. 2) It sets an example & reminds folks that Congress has powers it rarely exercises. 3) Which lays the groundwork for REAL reform: stripping SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction.
