Congressional Republicans shut down the federal government - their third time under Donald Trump’s control. Here’s what that means for you.

IN CRAZY RED IDAHO.........WooHoo. youtu.be/k_42t8GLOx8?...

Literally what Dems are trying to prevent. Who’s ready to be full-time, 24/7 caregivers for their ailing parents?

From the beginning, I've worked with the General Assembly to put rebuilding Illinois’ infrastructure at the top of our agenda. CNBC now ranks us as one of the top states for it. Today, I’m launching our latest roadmap with @illinoisdot.bsky.social to deliver more results.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

Explain, how the U.S. bailing out Argentina for $20B, while China buys soybeans from them instead of U.S. farmers, is putting "America-First?" Also, dissolving ACA Healthcare, raising health insurance for ALL Americans, but finding $200M for a ballroom and tax cuts for the rich.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

He already defunded you. You don't need to keep debasing yourself, @npr.org

President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans this summer to draw a new map creating five more GOP seats in Congress — at the expense of Texas minority voters, who will no longer be able to elect the candidates of their choice and will see their political strength greatly diminished.

We need a Governor who will put Virginia first, no matter who is in the White House or which party controls the levers of power across the Potomac. And President Trump must reverse course and work in good faith to end this shutdown as soon as possible. (3/3)

Virginians are already facing the dire impacts of DOGE, reckless tariffs, and attacks on their healthcare coverage. And now, our Commonwealth faces totally unnecessary job cuts as President Trump promises to enact mass firings. (1/3)

With each new attack from the White House, Winsome Earle-Sears fails to stand up for Virginia’s families, workforce, and economy. Just yesterday, when given multiple opportunities to publicly ask the President to stop further cuts to Virginia jobs, she outright refused to do so. (2/3)

Mike Lee is a weird dude.

Exactly. If you have it, it'll still work. Don't delete it. But you can no longer get it.

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

Bingo

So the lying liars dismantle the government and then warn that the shutdown they caused will dismantle the government. There is no punishment too harsh for these monsters.

October 28, 2024 Russel Vought discussed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest, defund the Environmental Protection Agency and put career civil servants “in trauma”

I wish his “god” would smite the hell out him, this creepy little Peeping Tom Elf on the Shelf.

Vought takes greater pleasure from this than any intimate relations he has ever had with another human. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Lee said "This has been Russ Vought's dream since puberty," which I thought was a little weird. Like, did he have wet dreams about RIFs? Probably yes.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

A Note About the Comey Case open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I find it particularly *galling* that Biden went out of his way to put projects in red rural areas (as an attempted bulwark against GOP defunding, which obvs didn't work, and because Dems CARE about putting economic dev where it's most needed) and yet the GOP can get away with hurting blue states.

For the last seven years, I’ve tried to keep Jamal’s memory alive at the Washington Post. Almost every Oct. 2 I’d try to write on the anniversary of his murder. Now I’ve been fired by the Washington Post for speaking truth. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Halligan may have obtained the indictment the president wanted, but it...one thing to get a grand jury to indict. Getting a conviction is an entirely different matter. New from me for @brennancenter.org A discussion of the flawed Comey indictment. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

World Leaders Laugh at Trump for Bragging About Fake Peace Deal newrepublic.com/post/201262/...

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go. They think he's an idiot and a buffoon. Because that's what he is. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is up 9 points from a couple days ago. Keep speaking up!

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

It is. It has nothing to do with the separation of church and state. Which I believe in.

as much as i care about the ai generated reporting of newsweek .... which is zilch, here's the list. Dave Chappelle Kevin Hart Pete Davidson Bill Burr Aziz Ansari Hannibal Buress Jessica Kirson Andrew Schulz Jo Koy Sebastian Maniscalco Louis C.K. Jack Whitehall Jimmy Carr

Does anybody else remember when Dave Chappelle turned down 20 million from Comedy Central because he had ethics and morals back then? I wonder what young Dave Chappelle would think of this gross cigarette smoking (LOL) old-ass money grubbing Dave Chappelle…..

He's slowly buying the entire town of Yellow Spings, OH...he needs the $$.

the man that's handsomely paid to exercise his speech to uphold an abusive status quo is criticizing the idea of free speech in the US while performing before the house of Saud? ...yeah OK man

This fucking hatemonger asshole thinks free speech means him punching down on the most marginalized & vulnerable community in this country for a cheap laugh. Now he’s sold his humanity (the microscopic amount of it that was left) to perform for some of the worst human rights abusers on this planet.

They dismembered a journalist. I think Chapelle thinks free speech means people have to laugh at unfunny jokes.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care
