This politico comparison of SCOTUS justices’ stated position on Roe at their confirmation hearings and their current position exemplifies exactly why the court has no legitimacy. Perjury is a felony. All 6 @GOP-appointed justices lied to get confirmed. politico.com/news/2021/12/0…
Chief Justice John Roberts: Nominated by George W. Bush and Confirmed in 2005
Justice Clarence Thomas: Nominated by George H.W. Bush and confirmed in 1991
Justice Samuel Alito: Nominated by George W. Bush and confirmed in 2006
Justice Neil Gorsuch: Nominated by Donald Trump and confirmed in 2017

Trump’s WH is in full-blown panic mode because the Epstein Files bill just crossed the one threshold that changes everything: Adelita Grijalva provided the 218th signature needed to force a House floor vote.

Here’s what happens next, and why it UTTERLY TERRIFIES THEM [Thread 🧵]
218 signatures = the dam officially broke.

Quisling Mike Johnson stonewalled on swearing in Rep. Grijalva for 7 weeks FOR THIS EXACT REASON

With her signature, Massie & Khanna’s discharge petition FORCES a House vote PUTTING ALL MEMBERS ON RECORD on releasing the Epstein files
Now the House will vote on the bill itself.

Every member goes on the record as standing with the victims or the perpetrators.

And @POLITICO says Republicans are bracing for MASS DEFECTIONS.

Given 4 already bucked leadership just to force this, the floor vote is likely to pass.

Those funds aren’t “going to insurance companies.”

They’re subsidies that directly lower people’s premiums and deductibles

Cut them and you blow up the entire marketplace, jack up prices, and throw millions off their coverage overnight

This is a deliberate plan to kill the ACA
Let’s walk through all the reasons this is a terrible idea.

1. As I stated above, this is not “giving money to the people.” It’s DISMANTLING THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE that makes health insurance even *remotely* affordable.
2. Those “hundreds of billions” aren’t handouts to insurance companies. They’re premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions that go directly to lowering people’s bills.

Everyone needs to understand what Donald Trump is planning.

If he allows SNAP benefits to expire for over 41 million Americans on November 1st during his shutdown, it won’t be by accident.

It’ll be by design.

Here’s how I think this goes — and how we can stop it [THREAD🧵] Image
Trump’s shutdown isn’t about budgets. It’s about CONTROL.

He INSTRUCTED @SpeakerJohnson to keep the government closed — and Johnson obeyed his master.

Everything that happens next flows from that fact.
@SpeakerJohnson On November 1st, just 6 days from now, SNAP benefits — food assistance for 41.2 million people — will STOP.

That’s more than 1 in 10 Americans suddenly unable to feed their families.

And Trump is refusing to release $6 billion in reserve funds that could cover it.

This might be the single most dangerous story of Trump’s regime.

He’s already taken over Congress, the DOJ, the FBI, SCOTUS, and every federal agency.

Now his allies are privately funding the U.S. military.

If he captures them too, America as we know it ENDS. [THREAD🧵]
The Pentagon just confirmed that it accepted $130 million from “an anonymous Trump ally” to pay U.S. troops during the shutdown.

That’s not just unethical; it’s a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.

Here’s why this crosses every legal and moral line imaginable…
First: CONGRESS — not private donors AKA nefarious Trump-allied billionaires — controls the power of the purse.

That’s the Constitution.

When an anonymous donor pays our military, it undermines congressional authority and normalizes oligarchic control over government itself.

Truman rebuilt the interior after it literally fell apart

FDR expanded the West Wing to improve workspace

Kennedy restored historic art & furniture

Obama made the building more energy efficient

None of them BULLDOZED AN ENTIRE WING to build themselves a $200 million ballroom
Trump isn’t just knocking down walls — he’s defacing our history. The White House IS NOT HIS to redecorate/destroy. It belongs to the American people. Every inch of it represents democracy, continuity, and the sacrifices made to preserve it.
Bulldozing part of the East Wing to build a personal $200 million ballroom is a grotesque display of ego and ownership. Presidents are temporary stewards of that building — not kings building a palace to immortalize and glorify themselves.

SIMPLE FACTS:

1. Your party controls all three branches of government. Democrats could not shut it down, nor can they reopen it.

2. Trump admitted he WANTED this shutdown.

3. HE TOLD YOU AND THE REST OF THE @GOP TO DO IT AND YOU OBEYED HIM LIKE THE SPINELESS TRAITORS YOU ARE.
Here’s what happened:

1. House Republicans pushed through an extremist reconciliation bill that has poison-pill provisions — including one that lets ACA subsidies expire at year’s end, yanking affordable health coverage from ~15 million people and hiking costs for millions more
2. The bill also included deep cuts to programs that tens of millions of Americans rely on to LIVE like SNAP, Medicaid, and renewable-energy investments — all designed to appease the MAGA hardliners and Freedom Caucus (even though MAGA actually gets screwed the *most* by these).
