Trump & Republicans *OWN* the shutdown. It is entirely their doing and they are entirely able to bring it to an end RIGHT NOW. They are harming Americans ON PURPOSE as extortion for an unpopular political agenda and to further erode the pillars of democracy.

I'm a SNAP recipient. They only give me $107 a month, but I need it to eat. And I need you to remember that Republicans are in charge. Republicans have agency. Republicans, Republicans, Republicans! The #TrumpShutdown is NOT ON DEMOCRATS. Republicans will cave—or not. Either way, this is theirs.

Significant news you won't find reported anywhere in the US media, as usual. Witkoff, Kushner tried to get Saudis to take part in running, reconstructing Gaza. Saudis said: Not w/o Palestinian Authority. Saudi source said Witkoff agreed this was necessary, but Netanyahu refuses.

Somehow our elected leaders aren't focused on my top priority, which is CHANGING THE EARTH'S AXIAL TILT to stop this garbage

ENTEN: “.. Trump's at new lows when it comes to economic net approval. .. Q-Pac (-19 pt) & CNBC (-13 pt) find him at the lowest level of either of his presidencies. “.. Also, he's lower than any president at this point in a presidency or 2nd term on record.” @cnn.com @cnbc.com

If you block me, just know; I'd rather be fishing.

"Democrats in Congress need to..." They're in the fight of their lives right now, trying to keep millions of us from suffering and dying for lack of funds to cover needed care. Whatever your thing is? YOU do it. Yes, YOU.

If you block me, just know: THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS

If you block me, just know; i will not be ignored…

If you block me, unless we talked about pets or I literally was one of the first 10 people to welcome you to bsky, just know that IIIIIIII...IIIIIIII...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will always LOVE UUU...UUUUUUU...UUUU *tackled off stage by my bodyguard*

If you block me, just know; Sydney Briar is alive.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into this speech, and who is with me in this fight. We're at a perilous moment, and we must continue to resist authoritarianism with all we have.

If this ballroom gets completed, and he's still well enough to attend an event, I will find grim satisfaction in seeing how underfilled it is. It will be. Anyway, the #TrumpShutdown is all about #TrumpEpstein. So could somebody #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles already, so we poors can eat next month?

SNAP feeds people who voted the right way and also kids who can't vote. SNAP feeds people who voted the wrong way, and that's ok too, because I don't think people should starve. Period.

If you plug your bed into the internet you deserve everything that's coming to you

$40 OVERDRAFT FOR DOUBLE-CHARGED BILL URGENT! They've got to get that covered before NSF fees hit while they straighten out the double charge. 4 ppl $10 each is good. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

This is interesting. It suggests that whatever has had Donald kowtowing to Putin is neutralized, or at least he thinks it is. You know, for those of us who believe the obvious fact (allegedly! for the lawyers) that Putin has been blackmailing him. Archive (free to read) copy:

Show this to your nonvoting friends, your convinceable neighbors. It’s truly so awful.

You find a mixtape labeled "For When You Finally Snap." What is track one? "Get a good running start and hurl myself at the wall Gonna hurl myself against the wall 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all" youtu.be/cwIsAttR6-E?...

You find a mixtape labeled “For When You Finally Snap.” What’s track one? "You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you breach Screw my brain 'til it hurts You've taken all my money, and you want more ... With your narrow-minded cronies Who are fools of the first division"

Thanks to the Republican shutdown, families on SNAP may not be able to afford Thanksgiving dinner this year. Enough is enough: it’s time for Donald Trump to end this shutdown. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-shutdown-snap-benefits-delayed-usda/

People think Connecticut is all rich. We do have those, but we keep 'em inland mostly. 1 in 7 of us doesn't have enough food. I've been predicting Republicans would blink on the #TrumpShutdown. Words cannot express how fervently I hope I'm right. Their health care cuts would starve people too.

I’m serving mercilessly tailored dress shirt & unimpeachably cropped trousers. What else do you want from me? WORDS? BLOOD?

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, is about to cross 20 hours of continuously holding the Senate floor and speaking to "ring the alarm bells" about authoritarianism.

Shoutout to @merkley.senate.gov for calling out President Trump's escalating corruption and efforts to undermine our system of checks and balances 💯

Temps are lowering. 🐸 Can still find green frogs because they can freeze solid and just keep hopping when warmed.

House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. The governing party doesn’t seem to want to govern.

Speaking of pasta shapes

I'm in this skeet and... I really shouldn't be laughing so hard

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

Naw that's crazy It's coffee, not motor oil! Would she have been in violation if she poured it down her kitchen sink?!? Also I promise absolutely zero people who empty public trash bins (as an American I am so jealous they still have those) want liquids in them

Whether you live in a red state or blue state, Donald Trump is undermining all Americans’ constitutional rights— And pushing our nation closer and closer to an autocracy. @merkley.senate.gov is holding the floor to sound the alarm. Everyone needs to pay attention.

Trump admin then: “Nothing will be torn down” Trump admin now:

🚨@merkley.senate.gov is STILL speaking on the Senate floor. I’m about to join him there to call out this authoritarian president who refuses to open the government and is betraying the American people at every turn. Tune in: www.youtube.com/live/ymDt1Xe...

if this ever gets build like this (DOUBT on several levels), a hurricane has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

Rotelle. Just why. You can't stuff it, the spaces are too small; but they are too big to hold sauce, so it gets cold quickly. Maybe it's kind of pretty for a pasta salad? But then it takes up so much room that's all nothing but air! If you want to feed six you need to bring three dishes of it.

It is, today, the tragic 318th anniversary of the death of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Cloudesley Shovell, shipwrecked off the Isles of Scilly, but who managed to struggle ashore and was recovering on the sands when along came a woman who done him in for his emerald ring...

“We run the House. She has no jurisdiction. We’re following the precedent.” Attorney friends, am I right that he's conflating jurisdiction with standing, here? Speaker Johnson's a lawyer himself... seems like he oughta know. It'd be the court that has jurisdiction or not, right?

They DO back down. We ain't out for the count yet! Thanks, Robert.
