🚨 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt today: “Our nation was founded, almost 250 years ago, on Judeo-Christian values.” The Treaty of Tripoli. 1797. Signed by Founding Father John Adams. Ratified unanimously by the Senate: “The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — was a deist who literally cut the miracles out of his Bible. James Madison — the father of the Constitution — explicitly warned against the “diabolical hell conceived principle of persecution” by state religion. The First Amendment’s opening words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” They put it first.

Fantastic point. 💙

A war you don't want, paid for by (more) cuts to your health care.

New York! Stores in our state are now required to allow you to pay in cash. If you see a store violating the law, contact my office:  1-800-771-7755 cbs6albany.com/news/local/ag-…

Jessica: Donald Trump admitting that he could have paid TSA agents all along is an enormous own goal. There was a senate passed a bill to fund the TSA that did not include any of this reforms that Democrats were after. It passed 100-0 over a voice vote and Trump and Mike Johnson decided to blow the thing up so that they could continue this.

300,000 more people will lose health care so Republicans can keep funding a stupid war that’s driving up costs and putting our troops at risk. Under Trump we are sicker, poorer, and less secure.

The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund TSA. And the reason the House did not take it up? Because the last time a Republican Speaker put a bipartisan funding bill on the Floor, he lost his job — and Speaker Johnson is now worried about losing his.

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar ..” @FT ft.com/content/744ea8…

The point is that we spend taxpayer money to guarantee or fund loans that don’t matter a fraction as much as paying for your health. Most people can’t afford their deductible. We should guarantee the amounts patients can’t afford so patients never have to declare bankruptcy. Instead the providers loan patients that money and when it can’t be repaid, they have to jack up prices to make up for those losses

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Five members of the Proud Boys are suing for unspecified compensatory damages, plus $100 million in punitive damages. I mean, that is just a snapshot of the type of bullshit litigation that is happening right now.

What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding. This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances

@NBCNews Once again the folks @nbcwashington failed to mention that the @TheDemocrats have proposed a Bill to fund TSA and other DHS functions numerous times, but the @GOP keeps blocking a vote on the Bill. That's not informing your viewers. That's influencing them thru misinformation.

People calling this a 'strike' are missing the point. If you haven't been paid in three cycles, you aren't 'striking' you’re broke. You can’t pay for childcare or a commute on 'essential worker' status. When almost half the staff at ATL and IAH can't show up, the system isn't just lagging; it’s collapsing in real-time. 💸📉

@OneJerseySchorr “Assist” in what way besides standing around doing nothing? What are these violent high school dropouts capable of doing to assist TSA during Trump’s shutdown? Because photos so far have only show them quite literally just standing around.

@OneJerseySchorr Not sure what ice could actually do considering they don’t have access to any systems or any training on how to be a TSA agent. So what’s the point of untrained people standing around? Maybe we should just pay the TSA agents!

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

The line at IAH may become a new type of microsociety. Babies will be born in the line. They’ll grow up knowing of nothing outside the line. The line will develop its own language, its own culture
