Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

a black assassin killing klan members? that orange man would’ve had every person in ubisoft including the janitors deported to Ecuador

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.” The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

This here’s a man of the people.

Mike Johnson likes to pretend he’s an ostrich with his head buried in the sand. He knows what’s happening. The blackmail they have on him must be absolutely nuclear.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

💀💀💀

The longer this shutdown goes on, the more dangerous travel becomes for all of us. I'm ready to get back to work. I'm not sure my Republican colleagues can say the same. https://bit.ly/46VOv4h

Evergreen. 😭😭

Maybe this is the way

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Data point number 240 on how consistently bad republicans are at governing. There have been many government shutdowns. They're all republican made.

Im so happy the world knows what the south already knew. No black man is hanging himself.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

"How does it feel to be locked up unlawfully" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My kinda carrying on! Keep it up.

DuFALLLLL

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

JD Vance is blaming Democrats for Trump’s government shutdown. That’s BS. What he didn’t tell you? Senate Republicans voted against our bill to reopen the government and prevent a health care crisis FOUR TIMES. The truth: They’d rather keep it shut than lower health care costs.

Trump has been trying to shut down this government from the moment he took office.

wizard frog is insane

Julian Brown has officially turned plastic waste into a clean-burning alternative fuel source called PLASTOLINE, a 110 octane fuel that produces clean emissions and could redefine the future of energy. More than 1,000 people gathered as plastic waste was transformed into power before their eyes.

Brooklyn. Have you seen this lady? Her family fears that she may have been picked up by ICE.

When Chris Smalls was rl being tortured by them a couple months ago it was crickets so try to be loud about everyone, not just Greta. Even in searching its hard to source all of WHO they have because it's just articles about Greta.

Black women are living in their heads rent free.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

This is it #trumpshutdown 🎥: @warnock.senate.gov

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Another fantastic rap from @cureforparanoia on Instagram.

and scene

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

I know that beating the absolute shit out of him would have led to the students being arrested and expelled, but I still hoped to see it.

It’s wild that “selling child size coffins” and “being a modern day slave catcher” are the only two growth industries in America rn

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

"Every accusation is an admittance of guilt" --Likely a Black Woman

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

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