Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Turns out the check wasn’t presidential restraint; it was Senate reality: even they won’t confirm "a partisan hack, a clown, someone who's relentlessly unqualified" to run the BLS. That’s a relief—and a reminder that institutions still push back when norms are tested.

MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

Die Nachricht vom Tod von Jane Goodall erfüllt mich mit tiefer Betroffenheit. Sie war eine außergewöhnliche Wissenschaftlerin und eine Stimme von weltweiter Bedeutung. (1/2)

History has many painful lessons.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

How is this sustainable?

Are we great yet?

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Priorities.

How humiliating for the United States military

The federal government has shut down after a congressional standoff over measures aimed at protecting health insurance for millions of Americans

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.

Clownshow

Revisionist history in under five days.

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

🦋💙🦋 How dare Hegseth and Trump

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Besides being appalling and divisive, I think we’re going to have a shutdown just like we did in 2018

Trump administration illegally targeted pro-Palestinian protesters, judge rules

Right on the prediction. Right about the reaction.

Donnie Downturn doesn't know how to Run A Business,Why Do You Think He'd be able to Run America's Economy ?.........

They have identified the person in charge of escalators at the UN:

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Politicians who lie about disability benefits aren’t ignorant…. They understand fully what they’re saying and what the system is actually like. They’re just deliberately lying, and banking on enough of the population being ignorant for it to stick.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

“Unitary executive” sounds so much better than “dictator”, doesn’t it? Guess what word you won’t find in this NYT article? Yeah, you guessed, it’s “dictator”. And guess what phrase you won’t find when the NYT writes about, eg, Kim Jung-Un? Yeah, it’s “unitary executive.”

“This is what I voted for!” wait, wut?

No, he sure as hell hasn’t.

I'm gonna say this again,for the presidents in the back... 👏 THAT'S 👏 NOT 👏 HOW 👏 TARIFFS 👏 WORK 👏

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

On today's episode of Orange and Jobless... #cats #DevonRex #catsofBlueSky

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
