@RealTamie @ilovethehop Agree! Newspapers reported on #Jan6Insurrection: 5 deaths, 174 Cops injured, US Cap trashed, surrounded by razor wire/troops for months after. US History writers will rely on those versions rather than the scrubbed/whitewashed version that #Trump and #USDOJ et al are peddling.

Hey everybody, I did not think it was possible for the slush fund situation to get any more corrupt but it has. I wanna share the latest and I wanna ask for your help urgently. I'm Liz Oyer former pardon attorney for the Department of Justice . So right now, Todd Blanche the acting Attorney General is up on Capitol Hill for a private meeting with Republican senators. Democrats were not invited to this meeting. Blanche is trying to persuade Republicans not to block the $1.8 billion/fund. Congress clearly has the power to block it and some Republicans have said that they are considering it so Blanche is up on the hill today trying to shore up support among Republican senators and here's how he's trying to do it. Essentially he is trying to bribe them in advance of the meeting. Blanche sent Republican senators this one page overview of the slush fund . There's a lot of nonsense in here, but there's one really important thing that I wanna focus on it explicitly says that senators are eligible to bring claims under this fund. In fact it specifically lists senators whose records were secretly subpoenaed as one category of victims who are entitled to financial compensation from this font that would include Lyndsay, Graeme, Josh Hawley , Ted Cruz, and a number of other senators whose phone records were reviewed by the FBI as part of the January 6 special counsel investigation now with the settlement documents that created the fund do not say anything about payments to members of Congress, but Blanche has decided to cut them in on the deal in exchange for their support. You don't have to connect a lot of dots to read this as a bribe. Blanche is letting Republicans know that if they allow the slush fund to stand, they will get paid. This is just sickening levels of corruption and collusion If this moves forward, it would spell the collapse of the constitutional order that our country is built on. Here's what I'm asking you to do. Please spread the word widely and then please call your senators. Tell them that if they take a dime from this fund, they are betraying their oath to support and defend the constitution .Tell them to do their jobs and shut down this corrupt fund. Tell them this is urgent for the survival of our constitutional democracy. Thanks.

Thank you to every firefighter, hazmat crew, and first responder who stepped up to protect Orange County families and who will continue monitoring conditions and remaining on site as recovery efforts are ongoing.

California is grateful for your bravery, professionalism, and tireless work to keep our communities safe.

The mechanism is specific and worth reading carefully.

Able-bodied adults without dependents must now document 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering to maintain SNAP. Job searching - actively looking for work - does not count. Miss the threshold over any three-month period: ineligible for three years.

The exemption that previously protected former foster youth from this time limit has been eliminated. A population already more likely to face housing instability, academic disruption, and unemployment now runs the same clock as everyone else.

The average SNAP benefit is $6 per day. That is what this policy fight costs at the individual level.

The bill that built this requirement cut $187 billion from SNAP in the same legislation that extended tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans. That contrast is in the record.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.

To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.

Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.

We honor them.

We thank them.

And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.

Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months.

The White House touts reports he's in "exceptional" health. Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president.

Saudi Arabia will only normalize relations with Israel once there is an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state, CNN reports citing a Saudi source, after U.S. President Trump said Middle Eastern states would be required to recognize Israel once an Iran deal is reached.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

I sat down for a chat about the debt and deficits with @DKThomp, and I recommend this piece to you because I think Derek forced to me be as clear as I've ever been in describing these issues, and why I'm worried.

@grok @Joni249510 @ascidic @1sttimecaler @burner8787 @MetamateDaz @MagaNorth Grok says collected/remitted. That includes VAT & sales tax that consumers pay, as well as payroll tax which employees & employers split 50/50. So we still don't have an accurate value of the tax burden of Amazon.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

Obama didn’t cause any division in this country. It was caused by all the bigots who couldn‘t handle a Black President. If you think it was Obama who caused the division, it’s because you’re one of those bigots.

[Human☮🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🌊 @4HumanUnity]

This is so ridiculous and exhausting for so many reasons.

Obama’s Iran nuclear deal was working, the IAEA and our allies were on the ground verifying that Iran’s program stayed under strict limits and away from weapons‑grade fuel, and he did it without a $50 billion war, a Strait of Hormuz closure, or hundreds of billions in higher global energy costs to the world and the American people.

You’re the one who tore that deal up, and now you’re trying to sell a mess you created as some great "EXACT OPPOSITE" success.

And you are exhausting because every day you swing from "attack" to "peace deal" depending on who you talked to last, that’s not how a president should function.

The only thing you’re right about is that your talks are the exact opposite of Obama’s: he had a detailed, verifiable plan; you have a blockade, spiraling gas prices, and no coherent strategy. Unlike him you have no plan, and unlike him you’re governing way out of your depth. Unlike him you are incompetent.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

We all know that Iran was - and is - an extremist regime whose clerics and proxies have been harmful to the region and beyond, for decades. We also know that Obama struck the JCPOA to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons - a deal that had strict limits, independent monitoring, and verification metrics - and by all accounts, Iran was complying.
But because the JCPOA was an Obama success, and Obama occupies a special place in Trump's ignorant, malignant, delusional, discombobulated, and highly disordered brain, Trump hated the Obama deal and tore it up. We all knew then this was a mistake.
When Trump made the consequential decision to strike Iran - without approval (except from Netanyahu), without proffering clear goals (except Netanyahu's goals), and without an explanation for its timing (beyond the obvious truth that Netanyahu got over on him), the superiority of our military shone through, the Ayatollah was taken out, and Iran was weakened.
But they were not "totally decimated" and they were certainly not "obliterated."
Trump - as usual - put forth immediate bluster and bravado - more than his usual - even threatening war crimes with glee - while ignoring reality, because he doesn't live in reality.
Trump - as usual - had little substance supporting his bravado - no follow-up, no creativity, no strategy, no forethought, no expertise, no accountability, no cause-and-effect analysis. Basically - no f*cking clue.
So - here we are - months later - and the Iranian regime is intact, in possession of enriched uranium, and in control of a most significant energy waterway. There are dead Americans, and dead Iranian schoolchildren. Our allies in the Gulf have damages and costs. Our American allies, except Netanyahu, are disgusted and showed this by universally declining to join the ill-conceived war of choice. Russia and China are stronger. And our Treasury here in America is at least $30B lighter - some say it's way more than that. And American consumers - like you and me - hey Trump, remember us? We're out the most $ of all.
Trump's polling has tanked, his blustery narratives less effective, his control over his loyalists is fraying. He needs to exit this conflict. Iran sees his predicament because he is such a transparent fool.
The world wants a resolution. Reports now indicate that Iran is likely to receive billions of dollars, being permitted to continue to enrich uranium, and a maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz. What a f*cking surrender this would be - IF that is what is happening, but we have no clarity yet, that it is.
Whatever the outcome proves to be, it won't be good. Trump needs an exit. Will Trump declare victory, nonetheless? Of course! It's the only thing he EVER does.
Let's hope this is not another propagandized event. Unlike the Jan 6 insurrection - this must be a failure that stays a failure - maybe the costs at the gas pump with help. Maybe the media will finally help too.
Trump's lies need to be treated like lies; like the ramblings of a naked octogenarian wannabe Emperor; like more failed efforts of a dysfunctional mind in decline. Which is exactly what ALL his lies now are.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

The DOJ's attorney stood in federal court and told the judge there was "no national database being created" from the voter registration records his office was demanding from every state in the country.

Judge Walker put that quote in a footnote. Then noted that an executive order directing DHS to compile a "State Citizenship List" from voter registration data was issued almost immediately after those reassurances were given at the hearing.

That footnote is doing serious work.

The DOJ is now 0-8 out of 31 lawsuits filed to obtain state voter rolls. Four of the eight judges who ruled against them were Trump appointees. The legal theory at issue - that the Civil Rights Act of 1960, passed specifically to fight racial discrimination in Jim Crow voting booths, gives the federal government the right to conduct line-by-line federal audits of every state's voter rolls - has not found a single judge willing to accept it, including the four Trump put on the bench.

Thirty-one lawsuits. Zero wins. The record and the footnote are the whole story.

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

California doesn’t need a governor who needs training wheels.

We need a governor who’s balanced budgets, managed crises, and took on Donald Trump over 120 times - and beat him in the Supreme Court.

I’ve done the job before. I’m ready to do it again.

There’s so much going on that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the president is telling so many lies.
