NEW: Boasberg blocks subpoenas in Powell’s case. "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats
I'm not talking about the ICC. I'm talking about US law. Hope that helps clarify. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
Remember when Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm?
FED UP.
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."
You read that right - MILLIONS spent on lobster and luxury items while we cut SNAP benefits for hungry families.
These people are disgraceful. 🤬🤬🤬

Nathan Cavanaugh, DOGE staffer w/ no expertise in federal grants, was in charge of cutting funds at the National Endowment for the Humanities using a flawed ChatGPT keyword search.
Not reading the grants.
Not evaluating the work.
Just scanning for keywords & cutting funds.

Trump “logic”
“Windmills kill birds” (lolz) but hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil raining from the sky on civilians, burning uncontrollably on ships and spilling into the ocean is fine because he and his billionaire buddies are making shit tons of money because of it.
PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”
🤡🤡
"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"
Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
FACT…
Republicans will pass laws to keep you from voting rather than giving you a reason to vote for them…
Mike Johnson is going to Hell.
Satan is reportedly building a special wing called “People Who Used Religion Like a Power Tool.”
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Few leaders have done more to defend our democracy and stand up to Donald Trump than Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
Her leadership helped deliver historic progress for the American people. I’m beyond honored to have her support in this campaign.
No other comes close…
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

"The first 2 days of this war cost $5.6 billion. I seem to remember a president coming into office on the pretext he would focus on America First. And yet he's cut healthcare, cut food assistance, sent the cost of everything higher, but we have plenty of money for war."
The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
The Pentagon is desperate to hide the actual toll of Donald Trump’s Iran War. 30 American service members are sitting in hospital beds right now following the Iranian drone attack in Kuwait. The real cost is devastating—and they don't want you to see it.

All of Trump’s people are crooks and frauds who would be unhireable failures in any other context.
A win! A federal judge in Oregon restricted federal officers from using tear gas at protests outside Portland’s ICE building, following an ACLU of Oregon lawsuit filed on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists.
