Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "The Trump administration lies. We have a president who is a known liar."

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

The value of the dollar is at its lowest point.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.”

Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

Less than 36 hours away from a shutdown, Republicans chose to fly to North Carolina instead of to DC to do their jobs. This field hearing is just another example of them exploiting tragedy to score political points.

Remember, the same government deploying masked agents to kidnap people off the streets and disappear them to foreign countries without due process demands you not call them fascist…or else.

At least the population will be decreased. That’s good for the planet.

I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss.

It was Jimmy Kimmel tonight, but dare to criticize the president and it could be you tomorrow.

Me too especially since NPR should no longer be beholden to federal government since they rescinded funds

As we all are

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "Donald Trump is destroying the economy...Trump has not only been imposing tariffs, but he has been doing it in a way that has been chaotic...He is digging us into a hole that is difficult to get out of."

Will Congress start doing its taxpayer-funded job? Amid the turmoil over vaccines and RFK, a flicker of independence.

It’s not just that Congress allowed the CDC crisis. Key lawmakers, on your payroll, allowed it despite statements showing they believe RFK’s views on vaccines are wrong.

RFK can say he is doing what he believes; the lawmakers can’t.

Anywhere great one. 😂

It’s extortion

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Frickin outstanding.

Love this so much.

This is what is happening right now.

Fanone: "We're a nation that's being run by cowards. Regardless of your political affiliation, I don't see anybody acting courageously. Our institutions have failed us. Our political leaders have failed us. This administration has no accountability other than we the people."

Maybe people will finally wake up to this shitstorm.
