GOP Last Week: "We control everything." Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Regardless of the shutdown, the Epstein victims can still tell their stories!!

🚨 Forcing members of the military to separate because of a shaving waiver. Where I come from it’s called racism. 1/2

“Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Donald Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law” Do* violate appropriations law

Trump’s Deportation Machine Has Diverted Some 42,000 Crime Fighters From Other Tasks Feeling safer now?

So much chaos, just to protect monsters in the Epstein files.

🇺🇸🚩😠🇺🇸🚩😠🙏🚩😠 So let me get this correct Trump Secretary of War told his commanding generals and others. They are not them but a bunch of fat fucks! And that looks embarrassing to him. There's nothing worse for readiness than a bunch of fat f****! Commander In Chiefs Hum!!

In other news I have also shut down because I am underfunded

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

If ur well off enough to buy a $7000 stationary bike with a subscription membership, pls consider MY gym package instead, where I bring you a bike I got off of FB marketplace for $75 and yell at you to pedal harder for a fraction of the cost.

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

The magas of the miserable Congress are locked in...They are a cowed, capitulant, submissive Politburo of extremists, fools, weirdos, predators, knaves, moral cowards and sunshine patriots. They have betrayed their constitutional oaths...to avoid mean tweets... open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

BASH: The argument Dems make is that insurance companies start to make plans soon, and so by the time they make that plan the ACA subsidies will expire. Isn't there something to that? JOHNSON: No. That's a December policy issue BASH: But insurance companies have to make decisions well before Dec.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

“.. This is the risk of shutting down the government and handing the keys to Russ Vought,” the Senate majority leader said .. @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

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

Biden did the opposite. The infrastructure bill disproportionately benefited red states because Biden knew they needed it the most. And in spite of his compassion, they still mock him.

It's illegal for Vought to cancel funds appropriated by Congress & he knows it. Only Congress controls the purse strings. Let the lawsuits begin!

Just try to imagine the public outcry and wall-to-wall media coverage if President Biden had cancelled $8 billion in funding to red states.

For the price of a $400 million jet/bribe, you too can get your very own US security guarantee

ICE will be at voting lines for the midterms! Picking off every single brown face! Mail in ballots are the answer. Register NOW

Trump takes credit for any ceasefire or conflict that is resolved between two countries anywhere in the world despite the fact that he had zero involvement, never spoke to the leaders involved, never heard of the countries, and can’t find them on a map.

They zip tied children.

I wish just once the press corps would latch on to one of these stupid bullshit non-answers and not let go until they ripped it to shreds like a shark in a feeding frenzy. Do your job, cowards.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

Not a good time to join the military. Not a good time to be on active duty. Not a good time to be a federal worker. Not a good time to be an American. Not a good time, period.

Sure, the federal government is shut down, but…at least we are planning to bail out Argentina. “America First,” my ass.

‘War-ravaged’ cities don’t typically have artisanal kombucha on every corner.

Congress, BOTH parties, decided to federally memorialize this hate spreading guy. Maybe they should honor him in this way. 👇

Is Stephen Miller really out there on stage chanting threats to ghosts in an audience about how menacing he is while surrounded by security?

Memphis crime stats should be easy to get because we have historically been one of the few midsize cities reporting it properly to the FBI. We have always been a popular straw man for crime arguments because we actually collect the stats to begin with.

“Tell me what you brag about and I’ll tell you what you lack.” —Spanish proverb

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

“The surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this year…” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

I’m telling you he’s using ICE as bait. He wants them to be attacked with all those millions of guns out there in the hands of civilians. He’s trying to ignite people to start shooting so Trump can declare martial law. They don’t care about ICE either. Expendable.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

The Government is now shut down, but apparently nobody called the school in the Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today, so they're getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself! I’m loving this for all of them!

Pritzker Praised for Call to Oust Trump Via 25th Amendment After Threatening US Cities www.commondreams.org/news/pritzke...

Stephanopoulos drops a truth bomb on Johnson….

I'm here in D.C. but my Republican colleagues in the House have skipped town.   They have a TRIFECTA yet are still unable to govern.

ICE Is Buying a Tool to Track Hundreds of Millions of Phones, Without Warrants Trump is quietly building a surveillance state, and almost no one is paying attention.

👀 @ericswalwell.bsky.social bringing it 👇🏽

He should have simply followed up with, 'Ok, you clearly don't want to address the matter. How's about we discuss when the Epstein Files will be released because most America (blue and red) wants an answer?'

Leavitt can't handle legitimate questions She's fragile
