- Reposted by zenmuppetHearing that this was definitely temporary. Gallego and Warner in particular are in deep negotiations to make a deal with Republicans to move this stablecoin bill forward, while Trump and his family corruptly profit from stablecoins. If you're a constituent, Gallego and Warner need calling.
- Reposted by zenmuppetNo one has been returned from CECOT even as we learn more and more about the arbitrary and illegal nature of this operation. The Republicans continue to stonewall the courts. Don’t let this story slip from view.

- Reposted by zenmuppetFor 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.
