Did anyone at the Gatsby party know or maybe read the book? The fact that it was held around the same time people lost benefits and/or didn’t get paid? House of Representatives are collecting quite a nice paycheck while not doing jack 💩. Wish I could have gotten that kind of money while teaching.

Shame on these grifting and entitled a$$holes!

The humor, the clarity, the razor-sharp assessment by Obama that it’s all a distraction from their ongoing efforts to make life worse for everyday Americans. More please, President Obama.

I love him and miss him so very much.

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.

US manufacturing mired in weakness as tariff gloom spreads manufacturing contracted for an eighth straight month in October as new orders remained subdued, and suppliers were taking longer to deliver materials to factories against the backdrop of tariffs on imported goods. Accounts from manufacturers in the Institute for Supply Management survey on Monday painted a dire picture of the factory sector, which ironically President Donald Trump's sweeping duties are intended to stimulate.

I’m one of those that didn’t,would NEVER, and am aging a year every day it breathes.

Just so we’re all on the same page.

Gorgeous 🥰

“Mister Speaker, do you know your own name? Can you state what country you are in? What is the current year?”

People suck too much of the time.

Unbelievable.

As in, literally, not credible.

The Trump administration mocks and dismisses protesters as "elderly hippies" but this underscores how truly terrified they are of the power of protesters.

Trump directs Pentagon to test nuclear weapons, just before meeting with China’s Xi The president said he wanted testing to occur “on an equal basis” with Russia and China, less than an hours before he was set to meet his Chinese counterpart.

God almighty! Chest beating and 🍆 measuring STUPIDITY! This m——-fker has zero clue the dangerous game he’s playing!

End the nightmare. Redistrict every blue state, GOTV, and let’s midterm our way to one big, beautiful impeachment! #Voices4Victory

Couldn’t agree more; if Marc Elias talks pay the F attention. @marcelias.bsky.social

Me too.

This is the Trump/Johnson Epstein Shutdown

If Johnson swears-in Adelita Girjalva, the House will
override his scheme to block a vote demanding release of ALL the Epstein files

Clearly whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump & his pals is really, really, really bad!!

I know I’ve gone over the edge but I swear when I first saw the East Wing being destroyed my mind went immediately to the photo of President Obama running down the hallway with puppy Bo upon their first meeting. I think that was one of the biggest reasons for the total destruction. The guy’s insane.

The only people stealing from you are the republicans. Making $200k a month with perks and not even in DC doing jack 💩. Taught school; I would have made that much in 6 or 7 years with no perks.

I’ve voted twice to make independent redistricting the law of the land nationwide, and I would gladly do so again.

But I also live in the real world.

I’m voting YES on Prop 50.

Here’s why:

When people pound their chest and talk tough in Washington, they’re not talking about going to fight themselves.

Instead they’re sending young kids from working class towns to do the tough stuff for them.

Moreover, as former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge and now-Attorney General Merrick Garland should have foreseen, President Trump had immunity from prosecution for official acts.23 As such, given the Supreme Court's immunity decision and Judge Cannon's dismissal of the prosecution on grounds that the Special Counsel's appointment violated the appointments clause and his office was funded through an 19 Superseding Indictment at 1-4, United States v. Trump et al., No. 23-80101-CR, 2024 WL 3404555 (S.D Fla. July 15, 2024) (the original indictment was dated June 8, 2023). 20 United States v. Trump, No. 23-80101-CR, 2024 WL 3404555, at * 1 (S.D. Fla. July 15, 2024) (hereinafter " Dismissal Order”). 21 Order Denying Motion for Franks Hearing and Reserving Ruling on Balance of Motion Pending Necessary Factual Development at 9, U.S. v. Trump et al., No. 23-80101- CR (S.D. FL June 27, 2024) (Document 655) (“But the Court determines that some of the terms in that document ( e.g., 'national defense information' and ‘Presidential Records'), do not carry ‘generally understood meaning[ s]' such that a law enforcement agent, without further clarification, would have known to identify such material as 'seizable” property'[.]"); accord. id. at 10 ("the present record does not indicate , for example, whether the clarifying information in the affidavit was attached to the warrant or expressly incorporated into it [See ECF No. 567 p. 13] ”) . 22 Constitutional Questions After the Raid on Mar-a-Lago, National Constitution Center 2 ( August 18, 2022), https://constitutioncenter.org/media/files/Mar-a-lago_Raid_Transcript.pdf . 23 Trump v.

Here's a fun little nugget from Trump's demand that DOJ pay him, personally, $250 million: In his memo, he argues that prosecutors "should have foreseen" that he has "immunity from prosecution for officials acts." Thank you John Roberts, great rule of law-ing, sir! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
