BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will attend the Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's attempted firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook, an unusual show of support by the central bank chair.
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
Rand Paul: "Let's say you want to buy Greenland. You don't get there by angering and denigrating the people who live there and saying, 'We're gonna march the Marines in and take it if you don't sell it to us.' It doesn't make them willing sellers."
“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.
I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."
He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."
ICYMI: Trump is trying to extort Democrats by withholding and slashing American taxpayers’ dollars that were already allocated for essential infrastructure projects.
Mob boss politics, indeed
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.
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
🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.
If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.
christ almighty what is this guy doing

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.
When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Medicare for All is a fundamental human right. Full stop.
“Pro-life” MAGA sure does love dictators who indiscriminately bomb innocent civilians daily, kidnap children, rig elections, plunder resources, jail journalists, torture and murder political opponents, and poison dissidents.
Breaking on MSNBC:
An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.
This news was first reported by Reuters.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.
Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.
Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.
Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.
Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.
