Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Could it be that the real reason Johnson hasn’t yet sworn in Adelita Grijalva is because there’s that much evidence in the Epstein files the Administration needs to destroy?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The 90,000 square foot ballroom at a cost of $250 million (guaranteed to go up) at a time when many people are struggling to put food on their tables, is the 21st century equivalent of “let them eat cake!”

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

24% of the federal workforce are Veterans. It's only 5% for other employers. Why do #Trump & #MAGA want Veterans to work for free? #MSNBC #CNN #MorningJoe

Lemme see if I’ve got it right: We don’t have the $$$ to continue insurance supplements for working families or to support US AID, but we’ve got $250M to reno the White House, $230M to pay Trump, and $20B to bail out Argentina (but only if Trump’s bud—the guy who put it in the ditch—stays in power).

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Zohran Mamdani: I want to make housing and transportation affordable for the common person Andrew Cuomo: if you elect Zohran we will have 10 9/11s a day Curtis Sliwa: The events of Godzilla 1998 actually happened and I lead the team of French mercenaries that killed her babies in MSG

We stayed classy. #NoKings

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Trump’s effort to blame Dems for the shutdown is laughable. When the Dems voted to reopen the Government last time, the GOP refused to negotiate over healthcare. Now they say, “trust us, this time we’ll negotiate.” The Dems would have to be dumber than Charlie Brown to believe the GOP this time.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Flood the Zone with Truth and Facts...

The vice president of the United States is a clownish dipshit, Exhibit 64,532

Think about it: if zombies attacked MAGA-land, they’d starve.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Right about now the Israeli Parliament is wondering how long can this fucking asshole speak for?

JD Vance just admitted he’s ignorant, saying he’s unfamiliar with the story that Homan took $50,000.

I know republicans lie, but it’s especially disheartening to hear Speaker Johnson (I govern by the Bible) lie every day. Their voters must think Dems are as gullible as they are, to think the GOP will negotiate in good faith on healthcare when they’ve not done so in 15 years since Obamacare.

Congress should pass a law that says, if you’re a federally elected official who sues and loses a defamation case, you must pay the other side’s legal fees, and if the court finds the case was frivolous, you pay double.

Thank you, Oklahoma GOP Governor Kevin Stitt, for calling out Trump for sending troops to Illinois on the grounds that it violates a basic tenet of the GOP’s platform: States’ Rights.

The irony of Trump’s indictments of Comey and James is that the Government had to break the law to file the charges (because Lindsey Halligan isn’t lawfully the US attorney in the districts where they were charged).

ARE WE GREAT YET AMERICA?

An end to the Middle East war is a great thing. But before we engrave Trump’s name on the Nobel Prize, let’s see if Hamas follows thru on Phase 1, and if the parties get to Phase 2, much less a true “two-state” solution? I think in one year, we’ll sadly be where we were yesterday.

Pam Bondi is a disgusting human who has no business being the nation’s top cop.

It seems to me that Trump may not know the meaning of the word insurrection. When his supporters broke into the capitol chanting “hang Mike Pence” and “kill Pelosi,” he didn’t seem to realize he could invoke the Insurrection Act. But if he sees a Mexican cutting your grass, he does. 🤦‍♂️

Instead of using the C or B words, I propose we start calling women who are soulless, ugly on the inside, or just plain mean, a different B word. As in, “you’re a f—g Bondi.” Who’s with me?

Is there not a single R who can’t help but lie/mislead? The junior senator from Oklahoma (Mullins) is full of shit, comparing Biden killing-off the Keystone pipeline to Trump’s threat to cut funding to blue States while leaving those same programs for red States.

Anyone else wondering when Fox will change its name to Pravda?

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

I’m sick of Bob Price—of local Fox—regularly fellating Trump on Sunday morning. He could at least wait until a decent hour.

We can debate whether we should pay for healthcare for immigrants. But the arg. that they shouldn’t receive ER care is obnoxious b/c often for ER care the patient is unconscious. Do we really want to delay care to those people while we verify their eligibility? Because that person may be you.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

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

Hard to tell the real illegal militia from the fake illegal militia

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Now lying about the reason the Dems voted against the CR to keep the government open, the “party of God,” from Trump, to Vance, to Speaker Johnson, seems to have forgotten about the Commandment against lying. 🤦‍♂️

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

The shutdown is just the latest “tool” the Administration is using to distract us from its refusal to release the Epstein files.
