The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

“What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants-it's f*cking anybody!" credit: @StatusCoup ICE is over immigration, NOT citizens. They are shooting & detaining citizens. We are paying for Trump’s secret police in more ways than one.

Kristi Neom: We'll give all visitors a badge to wear, so ICE can keep track of them. We're thinking something fun and bright, maybe like a yellow star ⭐️... 🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month. The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments. DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

Republicans remind Americans that Trump is famous for following the law. Trump never ignores laws, never challenges laws.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."
