Is Trump blaming himself and his GOP for the shutdown?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 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.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

I am pretty sure Trump will be pissed no matter who wins. After all, LA is a crime ridden hell hole. Just ask the Orange Traitor.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

The PedoFuhrer would rather lose your support and respect than release the Epstein files. That’s a fact.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown.

We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Americans didn’t want a king in 1776.

They didn’t want a Nazi dictator in 1945.

And they certainly don’t want whatever the fuck this is in 2025.

You reap what you sow.

Future consequences are inevitably shaped by present conduct and behavior.

Why, when our own government is shutdown, are we giving another country twenty billion dollars to keep their country running?

Netanyahu, along with Trump‘s encouragement and financial aid have made Gaza uninhabitable. This is all for their own personal greed.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Like, it has "peace" right in the name. Maybe it's just because I'm Canadian and live in cloud cuckoo land, but I'd think sending your military against your own, peacefully protesting citizens would be a pretty obvious deal breaker in this process.

TIME Magazine: "Trump loses Nobel Peace Prize he shamelessly campaigned for."

What a loser.

OH. MY. GOD. 🫠

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

Every word he says here is a lie. Every. Single. Word. He’s living in an alternate reality. #25thAmendment.
