quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Putin's bitch.....

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Wake up, America!

Name another song that mentions the word "Kiss." 🎶 Written by Mike Chapman & Nicky Chinn and first released by Exile on their 3rd album, Mixed Emotions, the single "Kiss You All Over" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 30, 1978. It spent 4 weeks at the top of the chart.

They just wanted to give Trump a little$24 million gift and some bragging rights to make him feel like he's omnipotent. Sweet.

So one day after YouTube pays a $25M settlement to Trump, I get notice that they’re canceling Univision?

Call your dem Senators tonight. Tell them not to cave. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

We’re tossing Argentina a $20 Billion lifeline and they’re turning around and selling soybeans without tariffs to China.

I'm not surprised at all. I truly believe this is all on purpose, not only to stop the Epstein files release but to get Project 2025 back on track. Project 2025 is at 48% complete. You can track it here: www.project2025.observer/en

Before he destroys everything. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

In our name. Get busy. #Oct18

Happy 90th, Johnny Mathis! 🎶 What's one of your favorite Johnny memories or songs? 🎶 Born on September 30, 1935, John Royce Mathis began a music career in 1956, recorded 73 studio albums, released at least 113 singles, and charted 71 songs worldwide.

men* will shut down a $25 trillion govt before releasing the epstein files __________ *gop chuds

If you have never watched @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Please Please Find Tonight’s Episode. The episode has Mark Kelly, but the monologue prior is absolutely 🔥

JUST IN: The federal government is shutting down for the first time since 2019 after the Senate failed to pass a government funding measure ahead of a midnight deadline.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

The real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

At the risk of sounding disrespectful, nothing about the US is the envy of anyone around the globe now. People around the world are scratching their heads trying to figure out how you all got to this point. Your country is being led by a dictator. Your government doesn’t support your people. WTF?

Why is our military the envy of the world? It’s not because of the training, funding, weaponry or combat standards. It’s because Americans from all walks of life come together to serve their nation, united by a deep love of country. 1/4

Abolish #ICE

And lets not forget Trump is squatting in the White House in blatant disregard to the 14th Amendment. Yes, the Supreme Court handwaved him on based on a contrived technicality, but even they didn't say he wasn't an insurrectionist.

Yes the 🍊💩 said exactly that & look what scotus did👇🏻

Military officers told to lead troops in a war inside the US against the "enemy within" (i.e., people who disagree with Trump) must either violate their oaths and obey him or obey their oaths and resign, which diminishes the military's ability to fight foreign enemies. We lose either way.

👆🏼 WHERE THE HELL IS THE OUTRAGE? HE IS DOING IT FOR REAL AND NO PUSHBACK.

Wake up, America!

"It's a war from within." -Felon47 This motherfucker is declaring war on his own citizens!! Wake the FUCK up, people!!"

Americans: My family needs healthcare GOP: No Americans: It is VERY important GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal Americans: I don’t need coal GOP: It’s all we have. Wait, here’s measles. Americans: But my kid is sick GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat. #RemoveTrump

When Republicans are in charge and leave town the day they shut down the government, it is theirs. Democrats CANNOT CALL THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO ORDER. ONLY REPUBLICANS WHO FLED AND REFUSE TO RETURN ARE GUILTY.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

there is no point in funding the government if the mad king is just going to unilaterally impound whatever congress appropriates that he doesn't like. there is no deal to be had.

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

Fucking Buffoon! www.dailykos.com/story/2025/9...

Shutting down the government won’t stop us from demanding the truth. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social reports from Chicago: "Nothing about this city feels like a war zone—to use this city and others like it as a "training ground" is dangerously deranged."

Things I support: more funding for pediatric cancer research Things I do not support: the President usurping Congress’s powers

October 18, 2025. Bring flowers. Sing songs. Flood the streets. Nonviolent resistance is the best path forward.
