the only thing democrats should be saying today is โthe entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world historyโ

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.
After 7 l-o-n-g weeks, wishing Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who is the 158th & final vote to release the EPSTEIN Files, a wonderful Swearing-In Day, although not everyone is all that happy about it.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums donโt surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyoneโs health.
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโs a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Donโt be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
Iโm going to win, in the courtroom and on Election Day.
But I need your help to do it: katforillinois.com/legal
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
๐ฅ @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : โNo one can confirm weโve actually been taking out drug traffickersโฆ the admiral in charge resignedโฆ all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crimeโฆ the governmentโs story is not adding up.โ
Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.
Itโs not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itโs corporate greed. Itโs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, weโve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and heโs missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isnโt even meeting. I mean, Iโve never seen anything like this.
Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."
"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."
I have a vision where someday it's renovated into a huge green house that helps feed the hungry in the community.
Ignore all laws about altering historic properties โ
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio โ
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" โ
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially โ

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."
OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.
Itโs long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd thatโs 26 days ago.
Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow AmericansโAmericans, not illegalโAmericans, citizens, to afford healthcare.
And the presidentโs like, โWe donโt have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.โ
A tweet from Aaron Rupar reads: โKARL: You talked about anarchists, antifa advocates, the pro-Hamas wing. I mean, 'Hate America Rally' sounds like enemies. MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video and photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president. I don't think it's pro-American.โ Below the text is a screenshot from an ABC This Week interview. Mike Johnson is shown wearing glasses, a suit, and a red tie, sitting in front of a blue background with the ABC This Week logo. The news chyron at the bottom reads: โREPUBLICANS SLAM โNO KINGSโ RALLY AS HATEFUL, ANTI-AMERICAN.โ
There were 7 million people out protesting. He has a few videos of some people acting hateful. He owes half the nation an apology.
AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

You know theyโre worried about this weekendโs turnout at the No Kings rally when theyโre already making comments about it. Whoโs ready for Saturday?
