Why is the government shut down? This is why...

Here is to hoping she does!

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Just a reminder of what the Heritage Foundation President said in July 2024!! There will be another American revolution that will be bloodless if the left allows it to be. www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

They were right but lord forbid you vote for a woman.

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.

YES!!! Arizona isn’t playing. Mike Johnson thinks he can hold democracy hostage, but Adelita Grijalva is done waiting for permission to get to work for her constituents. Also: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

He now wants 230 million from the US tax payers! www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Jeff Bezos could give every American a million dollars and still have enough left over to ruin space for the rest of us.

Jamie Raskin is Correct, and Fighting Chump's Regime.......

Michael Steele puts it so plainly and hopefully Bush steps up somehow I do not think he will the GOP have longed for this for decades. I have said for years they were playing the long game! www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Michael Fanone @michaelfanone.bsky.social No Kings Oct. 18th ❌ 👑

The GOP men have seemed to have pissed off MTG and she is sounding the horn in a major way. Finally someone in their party is standing up to them. I never dreamed it would be her. www.huffpost.com/entry/marjor...

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Respect to those who got here first.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

He’s following the dictators’ playbook.

Word!

This is a perfect example they do not care about you and your problems and the people that make low or middle class wages. You are not the important ones! Especially not our military! www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-j...

Claire is right... boy I sure do miss her in the senate. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
