This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

“The Atlantic reported today that political appointees Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have moved onto military bases.” Yeah, that’s a totally normal thing for civilian appointees to do. They clearly aren’t planning anything awful.

The lede here that best summarizes the 💩show of intentional, even strategic cruelty detailed within: Tom Homan is currently what qualifies as a voice of reason inside the Trump administration 😳

Hmm…if only we had lessons from the past about the type of economic policies that work…

The most disingenuous part of T-Mobile’s response to my email: “…there have been some misleading posts on social media. …we joined…in supporting the Trust for the National Mall, which works…to build and restore landmarks…, including White House renovations like the ballroom.” Renovations?!? 🖕🖕

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I wonder what happened in January? Anyone anyone

Wait…I thought The Onion was satire?

“What are we doing here?” The Dept of Ag has a $6 billion reserve specifically created by Congress to address funding lapses. Trump will not allow it to be used, because cruelty is a strategy to him. The coming hunger crisis, like everything else, is a choice by Republicans.

I don’t understand why anyone would be part of his Gestapo. I don’t understand why the military follows his illegal orders. I don’t understand why anyone still supports him.

That’s no ballroom…

What a wild timeline, where Reagan, Rand Paul, & MTG are currently voices of reason against the Guardians Of Pedophiles.

“Which one? Who is that?.... The recent one? Yes, the? …he was recommended by a lot of people. A lot of people say that—are you talking about the crypto person?” It sure doesn’t sound like Trump is in charge. Is the ballroom just a way to keep grandpa busy?

This quite the “let them eat cake moment.”

I mean, protecting pedophiles is a lot of work and keeps him very busy.

I bet Mike Johnson is “unaware” of the situation.

It’s wonderful to see a church actually living the teachings of Jesus, rather than twisting them to their hateful purposes.

Trump 💩ing on Americans while tearing down the people’s house. It seems the universe has decided we need less subtle warnings.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

Makes it clear where Shitler’s priorities are, for sure.

This should probably be a lesson about not letting a few massive companies control monopolies of infrastructure, but we won’t learn that lesson.

Posting an AI video of yourself experiencing an extended, medically concerning bout of explosive diarrhea is not the own he thinks it is 😂

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Today's No Kings protests showcase the absolute best of America

Be sure to block the White House account, as well.

“Levin noted that authoritarian regimes fear mass organizing and peaceful protest because they reveal a regime’s unpopularity and show that it is losing its grip on power. “Much as tossing chests of tea into Boston Harbor did about 250 years ago.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, this! Why is the Illinois State Police protecting the Gestapo from your people, rather than protecting your people from the Gestapo???

Linus is right. Release the Epstein files!

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

We need work requirements for Congress.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“Real law and order…properly understood, is a shield of liberty, not a weapon of enforcement.”

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode. Pedal to the floor.

holy shit

Imagine believing that a protest movement based on the idea that we don’t have a king is anti-America, a country founded by a protest movement against a king. You know what is anti-America? Fascism, and protecting pedophiles.
