I am so tired of this absurd notion that Republicans have no agency: they are not just full grown adults, they control President & House & Senate & Supreme Court & Corporate Media, but continue to demand & receive no accountability for any action, it is insane & dangerous.

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

The assumption that the side “causing” the shutdown is destined to lose is faulty when the president is underwater on every issue, the economy is in decline, and he seems obsessed with everything but the shutdown issues (persecuting his enemies, politicizing the military, etc.).

CBS is turning into Fox News to advance the new ownership's political agenda, but will it be profitable? We already have a Fox. Similar question as TikTok US tries to become X. We already have an X. And it isn't profitable. They'd eat financial losses to get the political manipulation, but still.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SEE A FAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE HALLS OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

How humiliating for the United States military

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

Farmers contributed to trade associations to develop soybean export markets over the past couple of decades and then they voted in November to liquidate those markets. It’s really that simple.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

‘Swear Her in!’ Republican Frantically Adjourns House to Avoid Swearing in New Member to Duck Epstein Files Vote

NEW: Republicans refused to change the rules to fund the government with a simple majority, & failed to pass a funding bill. Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, & Angus King voted with republicans to fund the regime - but came up short in the end. THANK YOU to Schumer for not voting to fund this government.

Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing. They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused. Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

Are there really so many dudes out there constantly popping boner pills that we need to see ads for them all goddamned day long? Make America Flaccid Again

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans and two voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ's lawsuit seeking Michigan’s complete, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

... gets away with acting lawlessly because: (1) the Republicans who control Congress are afraid to stand up to him, & (2) the Republicans who control the Supreme Court affirmatively encourage his lawlessness, admonishing lower court judges not to interfere w/ Trump’s illegal acts.

Explained to @melodyschreiber.com that Trump administration officials violated the Hatch Act today by sending emails & issuing announcements w/ partisan messaging aimed at blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. Trump decapitated the agency that enforces the Hatch Act. His administration ...

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

Quick reminder: Donald has the authority and ability to release the entire Epstein files right now

I don’t spend much time over there anymore but it has its moments

Meiselas: Trump said if there’s a shutdown, he would do things medically to hurt people, and he talks about firing hundreds of thousands of people. Jeffries: It’s another confirmation of the sad state of affairs that the country finds itself in—with an out-of-control leader…

The Corporate Media is absolutely going to refuse to say the truth when it comes to Thomas Sanford. He was radicalized by the right wing Christian Nationalists like Charlie Kirk. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

Anyone designating ANTIFA as a terrorist organization is out of their mind.

Trump makes sure that everyone knows he loves two n words. This is such a wild thing to say and it was buried under "let's use the military to practice for war on our citizens" I know the media is largely dogshit and sucks Trump's nuts for a paycheck but come ON now. You're bending over for this?

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Bring back Gen X’s overwhelming fear of being a sellout. We were right about that.

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

This is undisputed. Facts.

I have never seen a man more obviously attempting to balance out his alcohol addiction with a cocaine addiction.

Sad, but true.

Shit! Keep him safe 🙏🏽

I wonder if Chuck Schumer hesitated for even an instant as he ran from the White House to announce this, to wonder if “The president didn’t even know about any of the bad stuff in his bill!” is almost certainly a lie, and also, more importantly, a message that actually helps the president.

RJ May is a Republican and was a prominent Republican state legislator in South Carolina.

That is just plainly not true. Your budget slashed help for people who buy Affordable Care Act plans. That's 22 million Americans whose premiums are going up - RIGHT NOW - by double digits directly because of a policy you passed.

I blame Hillary’s emails. bsky.app/profile/atru...
