this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Saying you can be put in prison for calling people fascists is literally fascism.

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

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

a democratically elected congresswoman is being denied her seat because the speaker simply does not want to seat her and leadership is as unconcerned about this as they seem to be about everything else

The Republican Shutdown.

So Trump is defunding the police.

MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it. No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it. That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans just shut down the government to push their extreme agenda. They’d rather strip Medicaid, eliminate SNAP benefits, and close rural hospitals than keep our government open. It’s appalling.

You own the house, the lighter, and the lighter fluid, but sure. The fire is the houseplant's fault.

MORNINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

I’m asking Republicans to hold a public vote on banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, because that’s what the majority of Minnesotans want to see.

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

As awful as it must be to be Lindsey Graham, it's not nearly awful enough.

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)

i did just remember his brain is like rancid oatmeal sloshing around in there so maybe he has also forgotten lol

trump has not forgotten about charlie kirk he is just tired of at all the attention he got he only wants the story to be about himself

I feel like a lot of our political moment stems down to tens of millions of Americans literally incapable of imagining something worse than someone being annoying.

The most extreme example I've come up with is in #WESTVIRGINIA, where a 64-yr old couple earning $84,601/yr would go from paying $599/mo to $4,898/mo. That's over EIGHT TIMES as much as they're paying today. (The example here is based on them earning $90K): acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

Okay. So this is wholly on the Republican controlled government then.

Some of us do.

If he was just a private citizen there would be muttering about how he should probably be under guardianship to manage his affairs.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%. Trump won't even meet with them. He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families. What a bad deal for America.

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID. RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

this is… not how it works. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie.

I’m sorry are they saying that the US government will have control over a social media site including the black box algorithm that determines what content people see? And it’s in the hands of a man so thin-skinned he celebrated the removal of late night comedy hosts?

Cool who paid for the trip?

It’s a new kind of Saturday Night Massacre as Trump removes an experienced prosecutor he himself put in place in hopes he can find one who will prosecute a case based on politics, not the evidence. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

omg😲

Because Republicans know that voters overwhelmingly support abortion rights, they’re trying to trick Missourians about what their ballot measure would actually do. First, they called it Amendment 3. That’s right, GOP’ abortion ban has the same name as the pro-choice measure that voters passed in Nov

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

This clear declaration that Trump views the DOJ to be an entity designed to impose his political retribution - alongside the clear evidence that it is already being used in this way - is impeachable.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Here's what we are reading today: The Czech President urged NATO to “down” Russian aircraft when it violates NATO airspace. In the last 2 weeks, Russia committed 3 such violations: Russian jets flew into Estonian airspace and Russian drones flew into Poland and Romania.

Everything Trump does is intended to enrich himself and his wealthy cronies while incrementally seizing power from Congress in a variety of areas to wield himself as an authoritarian while Republicans in Congress acquiesce.

IT'S IRONIC that Disney, of all companies, has never learned how to battle villains.
