Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans. And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?! Fuck that and fuck them.

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

Apparently, the media is asleep too. Where’s @jaketapper.bsky.social ???

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

To every Trump voter on SNAP, you hear Republicans calling you lazy, right? They’re saying you’re fat and that you don’t work. That’s YOUR party. They’re letting you starve while accusing you of asking for handouts you don’t deserve. Did you vote for that?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Totally normal

Tell me this is AI, please. It's gotta be—right?

This should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

Remind people of this fact every fucking day.

Now presenting, the Republicans responsible for this government shutdown.

New WaPo/ABC poll: 45% of Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown. 33% blame Democrats. By a 2-to-1 margin, Independents blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats: 46% to 23%.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Good morning ppl! It’s day 28 of the GOP Shitdown. As we get closer to the first can’t pass point (snap stopping Nov 1) because the GOP doesn’t give a fuck about you, I will be adding more resources to the thread below today.

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...

Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

😕

Man, 🖕Home Depot.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
