Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

Mike Johnson is on ACA insurance , subsidized 72% by taxpayers.

What person in their right mind would get their medicines from TrumpRx. Seriously?

THE PURGE Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months. Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025. 🧵

Shocker. NOT.

Hillary Clinton: “It takes a village” to raise children Trump’s ICE: “Fuck them kids” as they rip naked children from their homes, zip tie them, put them in Uhaul vans Anyone who normalizes hurting children belongs in prison #DefundICE

What is the correct pronunciation of Goebbels? Is it Gerbles, Gobles, or Stephe Miller?

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Hey news divisions at ABC, NBC, and, CBS, please watch replay of Lawrence O'Donnell's show tonight. Your people would love to see how to report the news.

Since when did they worry about "oaths"? We're talking about the Red Republicans, right?

-3,000 jobs

This.

The IRS says there will be no changes to its operations for the first five days of a government shutdown, thanks to a reallocation of money from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

So..of course, he was also a spiritual advisor for Donald Trumps 2020 campaign, sponsoring a fund raiser for him. All the creeps know DJT. This evangelical creep molested a 12yr old for 4 years. He got 6 mos in jail, pd $250,000 and is home on probation. These Red Repubs. just love their pedos.

South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman Jr. wants to pass an Amendment to stop all members of Congress pay, WITHOUT BACK PAY, during a shutdown. Of course he, being a multi-millionaire ($57M) won't mind but half of Congress are not so lucky. We need to keep our govt free of assholes, I mean millionaires.

Time for Congress to furlough Donald Trump, right? Oh yeah..I forgot. We don't have a working Congress. Just parasites living off taxpayers

This should make your blood boil with anger!

WTF 🤬 A pastor abuses a child and only gets six months in county jail?

Welp...The Labor Dept is shut down so the jobs market numbers won't be published...but we know what they are. Hiring has grinding to a halt, lay-offs before the gov't firings was skyrocketing. #Trumpenomics #RedRepublicanshutdown

REALLY tired of Alyssa Farah Griffin spouting lies on The View. Today she defended the ballroom construction “bc private donations are funding that” WRONG🤬 In his Mob Boss style, Felon47 is doing a quid pro quo and accepting BRIBES for future government contracts and favors. TOTALLY ILLEGAL

When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

Give Greta the Nobel Prize...

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

democrats should insist on killing the tariffs and killing, until jan 20, 2029, the emergency authority abused to impose them as a condition to support the bailout

Demented Donald has many puppet masters. One, Russell Vough, is his director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Russell Vought is a prime author of PROJECT 2025, which intends to destroy our democracy. Donald, merely takes orders from this evil in-house tyrant. Evil Russell Vough must go.

Yeah...who raised these thugs?

That should piss off the National Guard troops, big time.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Hoping NYC brings a law suit against this corrupt Mafia administration. The infastructure funds were already allocated by Congress, but since they didn't get the Senate to sign on to their inhumane budget bill, the Project 2025 people are (Robert Voight) blocking the money.

@schumer.senate.gov Please do not capitulate, ever. People losing healthcare, vaccination requirements halted and women reproductive care rights taken away will soon turn this country into the hell hole Trump wants. Do not capitulate, please.

Sad day.

Grrrr @msnbc.com , katy (catty)Tur, in her typical sarcastic tone, asked , MD. Rep. Jamie Raskin, "is this shutdown just about saving Obamacare?". Is she really that obtuse? It's about saving healthcare for millions of Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA subsidy dependant AMERICANS. Try to keep up Katy.

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

Fighting for healthcare is the reason Ds are asking for negotiations. NO ONE IS ASKING FOR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Rs are lying about that. Health insurance costs for 22 million in limbo as shutdown begins - The Hill

This is awful but understandable.
