The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened:   1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills.   2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us.   3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

NEWSFLASH: ALL THE MOST POWERFUL MEN ON THE PLANET ARE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. I don’t even need the files to tell me that. All I have to do is look at how people are acting.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

Cowardly Disney enabling petty Donald Trump proves that it *really* is A Small World After All . . .

Pssst

Once, we are asking Harrison Butker to stay in the kitchen where he belongs instead of embarrassing himself on national TV.

Damn right — lock him up!!

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

For Republicans struggling with proper pronouns … People responsible for the deaths of: Julius Caesar - they, them Charlie Kirk - he, him Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My thoughts and prayers…

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

Make sure to read all of it!

violent rhetoric from the right starts all the way from the president at the top, and goes all the way down to the fringe randos. violent rhetoric from the left is confined to the fringe randos. can you spot the difference

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

House Republicans are trying to ban research on gun violence—when it is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. And more than half of gun deaths are suicides, with that number rising to 70% for veterans. (1/2)

If praying worked they wouldn’t allow democrats to do it

In TX, an attorney gets nice nasty in city hall giving a lesson about the 1st Amendment. Let’s get into some good trouble.

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

The thing I have realized about trans people is that it's *none of my fucking business* and I should just be nice to them like any other person.

She said she made it 21 years but that’s long enough to know this is bullshit. In my 53 years I agree. They’re dehumanizing us.

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.

What we’ve learned in this cruel and shameful period is the presidency needs to be less powerful not more powerful.

Children do not deserve to die because of choices the adults in their lives made. Children should run through backyard sprinklers, get slobberz from a puppy, or make dandelion wishes. To say that their parents or families deserve to experience this profound loss is wrong & uncalled for.

Mike Johnson is not the Johnson who spent July 4 in Moscow, that was Senator Ron Johnson. If you're having trouble keeping your Johnsons straight Lauren Boebert will be happy to lend a hand.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Tom Homan says he can't live with his wife because he's getting death threats. Is anyone surprised his wife feels this way?

I love this idea.

What America needs is a “cease-liar.”

You’d think that destroying one nation would be enough for him, until you remember that he is one of the most corrupt, amoral cowards on the planet, an empty husk of a man who lacks a single noble impulse and whose only instinct is to inflict harm. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-decl...
