James Talarico: “Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft. They have been stealing the wealth that we all created. It’s why everything sucks right now. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don’t have a government of, by, and for the people. We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires”
Sen. John Cornyn on Trump demanding Senate passage of Save America Act when GOP doesn’t have the votes. Says Trump putting Thune in a “very difficult position.”
“I don't understand the rationale,” Cornyn said. “I think it's basically we're overpromising, and we're not going to be able to deliver on that promise. Because we don't have the votes to pass it, no matter how long we stay, and we're not gonna change the filibuster.”
Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway.
He believes the law is unconstitutional, that Kentucky’s constitution gives him the authority, and that he’s prepared to test the GOP on it.
This is exactly how Democrats should be fighting.
Let me be really clear about what just happened.
The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.
You don’t get to look away from this one.
This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.
Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.
Stay informed. Stay loud.
#BREAKING: Hayes: “Acting AG Todd Blanche told Congress not to worry about the $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists…The DOJ then told the court the same thing—don’t worry, it’s moot, it’s dropped, and then last week, the judge said okay, fine, put it in writing. She ordered Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an associate AG to all sign ‘a declaration under the penalty of perjury, they will not take any action to create or operate the anti-weaponization fund and that the anti-weaponization fund will not proceed in any manner or under any name.’ Well, today was the deadline for that and guess what? They came back to the court and they said no, we’re NOT doing it. We’re NOT filing any declaration to officially kill the fund, which probably means the slush fund is NOT dead.”🙄🤦♀️
