This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Wow — Trump & Russell Vought are trying to stiff furloughed federal workers and not give them back pay for the shutdown… but Speaker Johnson’s own website says they are legally entitled to back pay when the government reopens. 🤔

Fox isn’t news, it’s “entertainment.”

Dems better NEVER CAVE to him on anything. The Dems will restore the back pay the law demands. This is one more insult to our federal workforce. One more act to devalue and demean. Don’t give in.

OUR federal EMPLOYEE refuses to answer a Senator’s SIMPLE question thus confirming the FBI does have photos of POTUS with naked underage girls. GOP controlled Senate are complicit protecting their criminal leader. They don’t care history will be brutal to them. I hope they rot.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon.

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Set Ablaze Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.

Over the weekend, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller repeatedly attacked judges, calling them part of an "organized terrorist attack" on the US government....

On Saturday, the home of a judge who ruled against Trump, went up in flames

Not for nothing, but today’s a good day to release the Epstein files… or the Tom Homan bribery tape… or that inflation report they didn’t release a few weeks ago… or the jobs report from Friday. I could keep going, but I’d be here all day.

After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.

Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Treasury Plans to Mint $1 Commemorative Trump Coin

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Clarence Thomas Admits That He’s Coming for Our Rights In a little-covered speech, the Supreme Court justice explained how he thinks the court should reverse rulings conservatives don’t like.

A wonderfully cogent piece by @elienyc.bsky.social that does a great job explaining in plain English why Thomas' approach to jurisprudence isn't just casual partisan hackery but an existential threat to the foundations of how the SC is supposed to function. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Holy shit. Russ Vought is 49. I seriously thought this mutherfucker was in his late 60s. Further proof that being a monster will age you hard.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective…

You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

One of my favorite parts was when Hegseth brought up his *platoon's* motto, and then brought up his *platoon* again.

In front of an audience of senior generals, admirals, and NCOs.

That's kinda like the Commissioner of Baseball bringing his only baseball experience as T-Ball in Elementary School.

Generals getting lectured by a draft dodger and a drunk.

Welcome to MAGAmerica.

This moment is a test. Donald Trump wants us to blink first and hand him over power.

We have too much to save to give in. Protecting the American people is too important a task for us to give up before anything even starts.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

It’s. Not. Your. Money.

I hope this whiny baby tantrum here is because Democratic leaders told him to go F himself enjoy your Liberace Office while you own this shutdown your word means you lied we aren’t bailing you or your weak Congress out. *pollyanna

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.
