This is an excellent book. I read it earlier this year.

Government shuts down after Congress fails to reach a funding agreement Much of the federal government is now shut down after Republicans and Democrats in the Senate failed to agree on a funding plan to keep the government open.

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money.

Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

This entire ICE program is disgusting, unconstitutional, and makes me very angry.

Opinion | You Are Contaminated

Trump firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief over jobs numbers he doesn’t like is another example of MAGA’s β€œBroken Reality.”

Trump and his followers reject reality when it conflicts with their desires and beliefs. They replace reality with conspiracy theories that confirm their beliefs.

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

It's obviously not the first time I've thought about this, but - what do MAGA people think about January 6th, 2021 ? Do the events of that day sy the Capitol Building have ant effect/affect on them ?

Yeah, if I read more than 30 minutes on my laptop, or phone, I get kinda fuzzy-headed/fuzzy-eyed. If I'm reading the hard copy of a book/or printed material, I can go for three hours.

So let me get this straight : I.C.E. agents (which is the most benign moniker I can give them) are afraid, & upset at the obstruction, blowback,protests they sometimes have to deal with? After weeks-months of said agents, masked&unidentifiable, racial profiling,& plucking people off the streets ?

No Republican majority in the House or Senate will ever require him show proof of ANYTHING. They simply won't do it.
