Quick note while everyone sends thoughts and prayers to DC guardsmen and their families - IF prayers worked republicans would simply pray for tax cuts.

In the 2020 Census, Wilbur Ross manipulated census counts to pull representation from the Northeast and sent it to the south. It diminished house seats in NY and bulked up TX and FL. We cannot correct the math until 2030. We need to get it right in time for it to matter.

Unfollowing every democratic senator. Even the NO voters. How could the NOs not convince two yeses to vote no? It’s their job to be persuasive. They should be able to bring A FELLOW DEMOCRATIC senator along with them. Unfollowing them all. I’m not wasting my time with liars. Not volunteering again.

When republicans run ads saying “the democrat shutdown finally ended when democrats took yes for an answer. They FINALLY agreed to the SAME deal we’ve been offering FOR WEEKS” democrats will be sidelined. Goodbye midterm momentum. This is political malpractice. Shame on these democrats. And King.

Open enrollment IS NOW! A promised vote in December is meaningless. Thune will NOT honor it AND it will be TOO LATE TO MATTER!! Do not cave. Dumbest timing in the world. HOW do you expect voters to ever believe you? Ever?

Elise Stephanik thinks SHE is popular enough to win statewide in NY. It is HYSTERICAL and tone deaf. Stefanik is tired of having to drive across the vast emptiness of her enormous district. She wanted to be the UN Ambassador, but Trump couldn’t let her leave congress.!MaL makeover wasted. No NY job.

How was the DoJ able to hire George Santos and Laura Loomer during a shutdown BUT Mike Johnson cannot seat Adelita Grijalva during a shutdown? She is the voice of voters, not a supporter due a favor!

Chicago tourism broke records this summer. More rooms booked and $$$ spent in Chicago than ever before. Ask DeSantis how FL did. It wasn’t as good. But they have Alligator Alcatraz. Visit Chicago. Enjoy the city, the food, the people. We won’t make you feel ashamed of being American.

Trump is going to come back from his visit with the king and redesign his ballroom. Bigger. Grander. More really old shit. You get the gist. Like in England, but BIGGER.

support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req... You know what to do

You know it was Trump’s proudest moment as president to announce on Fox that the Kirk shooter has been caught. Trump as morning opinion show host. Better than Rosie or Whoopy or even Howard Stern. Shouldn’t a president have more pressing things to do than be the chief spokesmodel for fascism?

Who decides the democracy death spiral has begun?

Cracker Barrel should have given out free t-shirts with the new logo. Trump used t-shirts to get “no” to “yes” on his budget busting bill. A free t-shirt goes a long way. Opportunity lost.

Putin speaks English. Trump does not speak Russian (and barely speaks English). Putin has the benefit of understanding what they discuss. Trump will be going on his gut.

What could be more perfect for today than the gluttony of a hot dog eating contest?

Democratic leadership needs a t-shirt cannon and some swag. That’s all it took for Trump to sway the “hell no” republican holdouts. MAGA swag and a smile.

Gotta give Trump credit for one thing - he pushes his lies with impunity. How many millions of us got the letter from Social Security congratulating Trump on his historic legislation granting tax cuts for seniors? I know I did. Are Bezos and Thiel on the mailing list (Musk and Zuck are too young).

Nancy Mace is going to be even more unbearable.

Putin and Netanyahu sharing Trump like a party escort in a tight dress.

Hegseth invoking god as he kills Iranians. What better way to start a holy war?

How drunk is Hegseth right now?

A brave journalist needs to ask Trump when he decided to let Netanyahu call the shots. No other president has ever done this. Why now?

National night out this year should be interesting. When did all the camo thugs move into the neighborhood?

www.google.com/search?clien... This was the last time Trump played strong man. With Bill Barr’s help.

No one should be in DC Saturday for the birthday parade. No one. Let the world see empty streets. Let Trump see we have better things to do. Trump is not king. He cannot make us fear him or respect him. As E Jean Carroll said, he is nothing.

It would be motivating to have a shadow government posting every day what SHOULD BE happening at the WH. You know? What a normal administration would be doing. Every day. A clear contrast. As Trump swerves between applying tariffs and removing them the shadow gov’t could honor congressional budgets.

When did congress tell Trump they approve of his strikes in Yemen? Wasn’t there just a huge thing to take the power away from the WH and put the power to strike back into Congress? I’m just not getting the silence on the escalation of aggression.

Donnywood by the Sea in Gaza is going to see slow growth. All the wealth lost yesterday will mean wealthy resort targets will have to reconsider supporting Trump’s grand vision. Another Trump TriBeCa (not in TriBeCa) debacle. Just as we suspected.

Baseball is the only thing keeping my 91 year old mother from seething about Trump all day.

Election day where I live in IL. Senior couple were leaving the school as I was entering. Wife told husband “I didn’t select anyone who wasn’t a democrat”. Nice. I did opt NOT to vote for a woman named “Karen”. It was a county office with no party affiliation.

Is it too much to ask for the Naked Trump statues to reappear?

What Netanyahu is doing in Gaza was ALWAYS going to happen. ALWAYS. Netanyahu now has an assist from Trump. Jared and Trump have already laud out their plans for Donnywood on the sea. Sure glad the voters in Michigan needed to get Harris’s attention.

People just broke out in song around a piano in a waiting area at the Rome airport (FCO). They got applause when they finished. Someone surely has it on TikTok. There are still good people in the world ready to share and accept moments of joy.

@durbin.senate.gov I am disgusted by your yes vote on the CR. You may not ever need my vote again, but I will never forget this act of cowardice. Standing up to Trump was never going to be easy. Learning it is not worth your effort is disappointing. Trump is playing democrats. He knew you’d cave.

Schumer’s “we’ll hit Trump hard in September” is the modern version of Whimpy’s “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday”. FIGHT NOW! VOTE NO NOW!! These are not normal times. By September Trump may have declared martial law, cancelled elections and made Musk President in waiting. The CR is NOT clean. Vote NO

A government shutdown is NOT a recess. Schumer and Jeffries can schedule democrats to hold the floor to keep congress open. Read Dr Seuss. Recite Hamilton, even perform it. But do not go on recess.

Schumer was a hard no yesterday. Hysterical.

@duckworth.senate.gov Senator Duckworth, are you voting no on the CR? It’s hard to find anything on the record about your plan. It’s not like you to cower. Please tell us, are you voting NO?

@schumer.senate.gov Do you really plan to vote yes on the CR? Democratic voters are pissed and exhausted. If you cannot LEAD the minority while you have this small bit of leverage then you should step aside. No matter what the CR says, Trump is going to allocate funds however he chooses. Vote NO.

@durbin.senate.gov Your yes on the CR ends my record of supporting you. Hard votes must happen. If you cannot take them please step aside. These are not normal times. Trusting John Thune to keep his word is a mistake.

@durbin.senate.gov Are you a no on the CR? It should be an easy vote. No. Just like McConnell would do. No.

@duckworth.senate.gov Are you a no on the CR? It’s important. No. Simple. Clean. Mandatory. No.

@duckworth.senate.gov Good morning, Senator Duckworth. I hope on your to-do list today is ensuring a NO on the CR vote. Help convince waffling democrats that the only option is NO. Half measures and mealy mouthed proposals are a minefield. They will connect democrats to Trump’s malicious failure.

@durbin.senate.gov PLEASE vote NO on the CR. We do not need democrats helping Trump/Musk. You know IL will be targeted for cuts to services. Targeted for raids. Please vote NO.

Trump fired half the staff at DoE and voided leases in Boston, NY and Chicago. Hurting blue cities. Because Trump is the pettiest loser of them all. And republicans are fine with it.

Does anyone know what Leader Jeffries gave Trump as his pre-speech gift? It wasn’t syrup of ipecac, as I had hoped.

The silence from every elected republican is deafening. They are complicit in abandoning an ally. Shame on them all. Article 5 of NATO was only invoked once. In support of the US. And out allies just watched Trump and Vance attack Zelensky, a guest at the WH. No nation can trust us. We are adrift.

JD Vance being a disrespectful douche to President Zelensky

Wanna be Assad buys a golden ticket to citizenship?

Will one of you artistic people create a side by side graphic with Joe Biden wearing his Ray-Bans and Elon wearing his? Elon loses the cool look to an 82 year old who is comfortable in his skin. Not a billionaire pretending to be cool.
