Sorry, but that’s one damn ugly queen.

It’s called oligarchic nepotism. Or, corruption. Tomayto, Tomawto.

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way. I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

Everything Donald Trump has done since he's been in office has been to weaken the United States of America. Intentionally.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

Folks, I'm not saying the guy claiming to have proof of Mike Johnson's Grinder account is a grifter, and I'm not saying he's not. I have no idea. I don't know him. He could absolutely be telling the truth. But please don't give him money for "legal defense" until he actually needs it. Free advice.

He has dementia.

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."

Follow the money. #Homan is getting rich on racism, terrorizing the country, and tearing apart families. He is implicated in a bribery scheme and has clearly been using his access to Trump to build wealth while carrying out his sadistic anti-immigrant fantasies. Do not let up on this, Media.

If anyone at CNN shows spine...I will credit it. I #BoycottCNN myself.

There was no characterization. That’s what he said. But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

PRIVACY IS A RELIC MORON MAGAT MFS ARE ACTUAL NAZIS STOP NAZI VANILLA ISIS STOP GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING FOR CASH ARE YOU NEXT???

Mike Johnson is an ass. Stephanopoulous allows him to drone on with his LIES.

Senator's #Cortez-Masto @cortezmasto.senate.gov #Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov, & #AngusKing are OBEYING IN ADVANCE. The American PEOPLE want YOU to PROTECT OUR HEALTHCARE. #GovernmentShutdown Keep up the pressure on the Republicans! They own this.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

So Trump is defunding the police.

How humiliating for the United States military

💯!!!

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.

I don’t know how this is a fun fact. It’s a fact.

I couldn't love AOC any more than I do right now #USDemocracy

As long as I am a member of the United States Congress, I will NOT fund authoritarianism. I will NOT support Fascism. And I will NOT vote for a continuing resolution that steals from American families.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Before he destroys everything. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just took to X to RUTHLESSLY MOCK Pete Hegseth's declaration that “fat” generals would no longer be tolerated in America's military by sharing hilarious images of an overweight Donald Trump. This is HYSTERICAL:

I voted for HER. #StillWithHER

What’s this, The Dems are actually fighting back! www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/america-fi...

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

Saw this posted outside a public toilet in a local State Park.

THIS 👇

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

So proud of my brilliant Sis @barbmcquade.bsky.social

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Pete Hegseth says overweight military leaders should resign. Shouldn’t that include Fat Satan?
