What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

“I’ll be surprised if the copper pipes are still in the walls when Trump leaves.” With Shawn Ryan Hunter Biden rips “openly corrupt” Trump for Kushner getting Saudi BILLIONS + negotiating peace deals, and fact-checks the “10% for the big guy” line Republicans attack him with

Exactly right. DOJ investigations from this administration have two purposes: 1. To provide cover for the President, his crimes and the crimes of his administration. 2. To harass, intimidate, and even bring baseless charges against those he has grievances with.

Trump demanded Texas and other red states redraw their congressional districts to rig the midterms in Republicans' favor. California fought back by redrawing its map to balance out this power grab. Now, Trump’s DOJ is suing California. The hypocrisy is endless.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) is the 218th signature on the bipartisan discharge petition demanding the release of the Epstein files. Under House rules, the House must act in 7 legislative days.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Senate GOP eyes funding bill with Jan. 30 end date

Senate GOP eyes funding bill with Jan. 30 end date

Senate Republicans have largely coalesced around the end of January as their new government funding expiration date, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter who were granted anonymity to share information about ongoing negotiations. Republicans are tentatively looking at a continuing resolution that would run until Jan. 30, which was a topic of discussion during a closed-door conference meeting Friday as members of both parties look for a path toward ending the government shutdown. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said that while Senate Republicans had mostly gelled around the date, there were still conflicting feelings within the conference and conversations would continue. The end date is longer than what appropriators had hoped for: They were pushing for a deadline in December to keep pressure on lawmakers to quickly reach a larger, full-year funding deal. But House and Senate GOP leaders have been privately pushing for more time and were viewed as most likely to settle on a January date. Notably, the Jan. 30 timeline is one of the better options for House GOP leaders at this point, given that some fiscal hard-liners, who want to keep government programs running at flat funding levels, are pushing for a stopgap into November of next year. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins and fellow appropriators met Friday afternoon to discuss finalizing a package of three funding bills that could ride alongside a continuing resolution for remaining agencies. “Susan is gonna finish this off soon,” Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) said. He added, though, that Democrats are “dragging their feet” to close out any agreement to reopen the government. Mullin accused Democrats of moving the goalposts in their funding talks, including in their offer Friday to vote on a three-bill “minibus” and a stopgap funding patch alongside a one-year extension of expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. “It’s an absolute non-starter,” Mullin said of their demands.

Anti-Trump politics *is* affordability politics, and Tuesday’s results overwhelmingly demonstrated this. On one front after another, the Democrats’ attacks on Trump were directly linked to voters’ material concerns. trib.al/eQxMwPZ

The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.
