Hear me out: TRUMP WAS IN ON BOLSONARO’S ESCAPE PLAN.
Bolsonaro spoke with him before getting arrested for tampering with his ankle monitor. Here is Trump saying he expected to meet him “in the near future” and was stunned he ended up back in jail.
#Maddow
Holy shit! Rachel Maddow is reporting that former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who is about to begin a 27 year prison sentence for doing what Trump did — attempting to overthrow his country's democracy — tried to remove his ankle monitor with a soldering iron and flee to the US with Trump's help.
I'll say it again: With Trump's fucking help! Trump was plotting with him on Saturday and Bolsonaro was arrested early Sunday morning. On Monday, Trump was asked about Bolsonaro and Trump said he was expecting to see him very soon. When reporters told Trump that Bolsonaro been arrested, Trump appeared shocked and disappointed.
Here’s the list of Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm.
Bernie Sanders just said it plain:
“Tonight, Democrats voted with Republicans to raise healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way to kick 15 million off Medicaid. 60,000 will die every year, so the rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.”
This was a betrayal of working people.
Donald Trump says there’s no money to feed hungry kids, but he’s spending:
$40 billion to bail out Argentina,
$300 million on his vanity ballroom
$172 million on two luxury jets for Kristi Noem
Hundreds of millions for outfitting his foreign jet.
Let’s be clear: Trump is CHOOSING not to feed hungry families.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Governor Walz shreds Republicans in a fiery takedown of their shutdown. "People are gonna be lined up to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot." 🔥🔥
Share widely.
It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.
The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.
Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.
If it's the last thing I do, I will NEVER stop reminding Americans that Republicans let the poor and children go hungry by cutting SNAP benefits while trump builds a gaudy $300M Epstein ballroom, and buys Kristi Noem TWO PRIVATE JETS FOR $172M.
NEVER FORGET.
Speaker Johnson “deeply regrets” that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits this week, but 3 months ago, he signed a bill with $186 billion in cuts to SNAP. You can’t make it make sense.
Governor Pritzker just lit the match:
“The president lies consistently, and he’s got a lot of people around him who are sycophants—**including JD Vance—**who lie on his behalf… It’s propaganda.”
Nothing she does until she is sworn in would be valid. Everything she signed could be invalidated since she isn't technically sworn in. She would be wasting her time because NOTHING WOULD BE VALID. I'm no government expert by any means, and even I know that. Shameful Mike Johnson should sure as hell know this. If not, we shouldn't continue paying his salary ..
