So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

Rep. Stephen Lynch speaks for all of us. We’re with you, Senator — much respect for speaking out and standing strong. 💯

AG Bondi used ad hominem attacks rather than answer hard questions at yesterday’s Senate hearing. This is an old debater’s trick. Attack the person to conceal weak facts. We deserve answers, not insults. www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/p...

People act shocked when a country singer speaks out against authoritarian politics like it’s new. Did y’all forget Bush era country stars were told to “shut up and sing”? History repeats itself—until artists remind us that patriotism isn’t obedience. #Pinks

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon. Read the full emergency Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: bit.ly/4pW6Y9z

Yes. Reverend David Black

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

Gavin Newsom sounding the alarm on Trump stealing elections and him receiving “Trump 2028” hats.😡

It’s nice to have an unofficial “Chief of Staff” who likes to travel everywhere with you to provide advice and counsel. bsky.app/profile/patr...

The difference between illegal immigrants & the ruling regime is that the former do productive work and pay taxes. The regime is a gang led by a rapist-felon-grifter that protects child abusers and operate for-profit concentration camps. We The People will withhold taxes & labor. We will end this.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Because Republicans. Period.

Every farmer who gets a bailout is a socialist.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. If you are worried that Pam Bondi acts like there will never be another peaceful transfer of power, we should be friends.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Hirono: "I have to conclude that, since no wrongdoing was determined, that Homan kept the money. And I hope he will put that on his tax returns as income."

Trump’s billionaire buddy threw him a $50M fundraiser. Trump approved construction of a road for his mining company in Alaska, endangering wildlife and harming indigenous communities. This is happening out in the open. Imagine the corruption we don’t see popular.info/p/trump-appr...

Trump shutdown the govt. Trump targets Dem cities with federal forces and defunding. Trump violates our Constitution, daily. Trump is using the justice department for personal revenge. But, Republicans would have you believe the biggest threat to our nation, Bad Bunny performing at the Superbowl.

Aah the old “she must be sleeping with him line” used to be used when women made any advancement. How exactly did you get from he’s so awful and short she must want to sleep with him? Sexualized slur. From the folks protecting the pedofiles. Trump started the personal politician attacks.
