It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

In case anyone was wondering, “Give us your land or we will bomb you and take it” is not a peace deal; it’s extortion by artillery. A peace deal requires consent.

Israeli officials are openly defying Trump’s so-called Gaza “peace plan.” The defense minister says bombing will continue after hostages are returned and that Gaza’s tunnels will be destroyed “under U.S. supervision”. Call it what it is, it’s not peace, but a US backed siege.

Friendly reminder that Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, he just got lost and then enslaved and murdered a bunch of people before taking their land, so now you can’t go to the bank today.

Are House Republicans going to finally show up to work this week or is their extended vacation going to continue? Many Americans take a week or two vacation if they are lucky during summers. House Republicans take the entire Fall off, after lengthy breaks in Spring and Summer.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

Omg. Send in another battalion.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

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.

There’s more Botox in the Trump cabinet than in a dented can of beans.

Sometimes you got to understand that heritage that you are supporting.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Also lying:
- your own eyes
- every bit of video evidence
- the fabric of reality itself

Rolling stone headline

Work harder and die

House Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate and end this shutdown. There is a clear solution and the American people support it — protect health care and stop firing federal workers and contractors.

Portland, you magnificent weirdos

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

This is a fantastic statement from the governor of Washington, but I can't get past the fact that the man who's standing up to the right-wing anti-immigrant machine is named ...

Bob Ferguson?

Seriously?

Does he have a daughter named Willa?

Let us start our day with this simple thought.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
