Reps control the Wht Hs, Supreme Ct, House AND the Senate, yet they're trying to blame Dems for the shutdown. It will be interesting to see if this washes. The only power Dems have left in DC is filibustering bills, so if they cave again, they might as well stop showing up for work & go home.

Tariff money is not a Trump Regime slush fund. It is tax money deposited into the US treasury and Congress has sole authority over the appropriation of tax dollars.

Men would rather collapse a government than go to therapy

www.wmagazine.com/story/rihann... oh W. Sorry.

The Republican shutdown isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Project 2025 extremists who think chaos is a strategy.

Post this everywhere‼️ -and- RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Republicans have had 15 years to come up with an Obamacare replacement plan. They still haven’t

Always count on the absolute dumbest man among us to just say the thing out loud.

A shutdown isn’t just a DC drama. It means federal workers are left in limbo, paychecks for military families go unsent, and seniors wait longer for services.

THUNE ADMITS IT: The democrats created affordable healthcare and the GOP wants to take it away. 💥

It’s day 6 of the government shutdown. Republicans still won’t come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Welcome to my thread on the Cartier exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum! I prepped by heading to the jewelry rooms at the V and A. #Cartier #VandA #jewelry

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

@juliethecranky.bsky.social posted about the Edwardian exhibition atvthe palace. Probably stuff you'd enjoy. Aside from the shinies

Reopening the government isn’t a Republican priority. Protecting Trump from the release of the Epstein files is.

@202fsunole.bsky.social look what I saw!!!!

Ok, interesting things I saw at the Edwardian age exhibition at Buckingham Palace. Part 1. So context, this spans 3 reigns, Victoria especially late Victorian because she wasn't as visible.

Murphy to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "If we’re going to sign on to a full year budget, it must have constraints on corruption & illegality. We cannot sign onto a budget that basically puts a bipartisan endorsement of the illegality. We’re literally signing our own political death warrants if we do"

For some hilarity, go check out HUD.gov

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

As the shutdown looms, let’s play; what are the facts? FACT: Trump wants to distract from Epstein. RELEASE THE FILES FACT: Republicans run the House, Senate, & White House… if there is a shutdown, Real Math says it’s the REPUBLICANS’ SHUTDOWN.

It makes me so fucking mad that there was a right wing conspiracy theory that Biden’s FEMA was denying funds to North Carolina and then Trump gets into office and actually does it and…mostly silence.

@juliethecranky.bsky.social Panthers!!!!

@juliethecranky.bsky.social and now hold onto your blood pressure.

Let’s be clear: if the government shuts down, Republicans own it. They’re blocking a budget that protects healthcare, funds schools, and lowers costs for families — because chaos is the point. Virginians deserve a government that works for them.

@juliethecranky.bsky.social it's pink all right.

@juliethecranky.bsky.social there was Some Russian jewelry, just already known. The sapphire brooch is known as queen Mary's Russian Sapphire cluster brooch, acquired from someone in the Russian royal family. Mary umm bought it in the 30s.

When that person is bad 100% of the time, 97% is flattery, not free speech.

If you're near the New England area, I have 19 upcoming performances as Edgar Allan Poe this year. Nearly all are free and open to the public. You can see the list at my linktree: linktr.ee/thepoeactor
