Despite a government shutdown, Republicans will make sure Argentina gets their $20 billion.

If you saw a dad on a corner beating the living hell out of his child, would you shrug and say, "it's pointless to try to intervene." Or would you do what you could to get the child away from him? Trump's beating the hell out of his country. Do what you can with what you have from where you are.

Vought always looks like the Onion version of a soulless bureaucrat.

“.. Bailouts of banks, hedge funds, and foreign governments have long been despised by the U.S. public, especially when households face cuts to health care and other critical services. .. Why would the United States bail out Argentina?” @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/01/t...

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

The Government is now shut down, but apparently nobody called the school in the Bronx that had come to the Capitol for their tour today, so they're getting the treat of a lifetime since AOC agreed to give them the tour herself! I’m loving this for all of them!

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

They didn’t drain the swamp. They sold VIP tickets to it.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.

Speaker Johnson, it's past time to swear in Rep-Elect Grijalva.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

20 billion tax payer dollars to bail out a whole other country. Tell me again how we can’t pay for every single child to have breakfast and lunch while they are at school.

Congress is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.

She was a paragon, an example for humanity. She was an enrichment for research, for animal rescue. She was an animal advocate, known beyond our generations. Jane Goodal passed away peacefully, dies at age 91. R.I.P Jane, you will be missed.

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Judge William G. Young begins his opinion in American Association of University Professors v. Rubio with a threat he received, and his reply:

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

It’s no accident that Senator Wyden cannot get the documents he needs to follow the Epstein money. Bissent is throwing every barrier in the way. The shutdown, all of this… they are all distractions to deflect from THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Another grift. Taking healthcare away from millions and doing this? Shame on Pfizer. I hope their stock tanks. flip.it/cM29IV

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.

Well well well….. l.smartnews.com/p-6iyEX9MQ/1...

Blah blah blah government shutdown...release the Epstein files!

He was just in the news a couple weeks ago again because he had another warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court date for yet another driving incident.

Hillary's Right Again ! Chump has lined His Pockets with $4-5 Billion In Income For Himself, While We All Get Zilch in Absolutely Everything 💯.........

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

REPUBLICANS have shut down the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT because they think it is imperative to TAKE HEALTHCARE AWAY FROM 15 MILLION AMERICANS because they serve only the MAD CHILD RAPIST OLIGARCH. #TrumpShutdown #GOPShutdown #GOPBetrayedAmerica

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

This is very, very bad.

The number of people that go bankrupt every year from medical bills: Canada - 0 Australia- 0 France - 0 Sweden - 0 Norway - 0 Spain - 0 Portugal - 0 UK - 0 Finland - 0 Iceland - 0 Germany - 0 United States - 326,000

My neighbor was picked up by ICE and deported within days. No due process. Such a nice and hard working family man. His family is devastated.

(Reuters) - More than 150,000 federal employees will leave the U.S. government payroll this week after accepting buyouts - the largest single-year exodus of civil servants in nearly 80 years .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office. The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense. The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace. Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

If only Trump could do something to avoid the government shutdown 😉 Thank you Seth! #ACloserLook #DonaldTrumpsShutdown
