(also, release the Epstein files)

disgusting

People like Peter Theil, Elon Musk. Trump is allowing rich white racists only. The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States to 7,500 and they’ll be mostly white South Africans.

I think his scientists should experiment on him…

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

The non-military version of "stolen valor."

So ? We don't have to pay taxes this year? Thankyou, Eric BOZO.

As government shutdown persists, ICE agents are among the still-paid employees receiving ‘super checks’ including lost pay and overtime | Fortune Public finance expert Linda Bilmes says the “arbitrariness” of who gets paid and who doesn’t during shutdowns exposes the “dysfunction” of the budget approval process.

They found money to pay the ICE thugs, but not to feed the kids…

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Facts. 💯👊🏻

Daily Reminder- Epstein Files.

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.

The Orange alpha man is hiding in a fetal position crying for Mommy every time the name Epstein comes up and the GOP cowers with him. Release the files, lil Mike Johnson.

Epstein Files. Mike Johnson stalling release.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

This is why I have switched to Lowes. Better employees as well.

Thanks for your voice of Sanity.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Making Argentina Great Again

Anything but releasing the Epstein files.
