I love how the GOP says they want to bring back manufacturing lost in the US. They fail to mention that the loss is because of GOP anti-worker policies, deregulation, and the push for companies to pursue profit above all, which they did by moving manufacturing overseas for cheaper exploited labor.

Let the partisan Republican government shutdown commence.

I appreciate Schumer’s concerns as discussed with Chris Hayes, but if the GOP wants to burn it to the ground, they might as well hurry up and accept the political consequences.

How the House has become the last line of defense in legislative politics is fascinating. What has happened to the Senate?!

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

If you're able, bring packing materials (none were provided to staffers) and/or drinks/snacks.

Public parking in the RRB garage (ID/DL required). Metro: Metro Center or Federal Triangle.

USAID staff in Washington were told today that they have only today and tomorrow to retrieve their personal belongings from USAID HQ in DC.

Please go to the Ronald Reagan Building to "clap out" staff and support these public servants who have given their lives to this important work.

USAID has been, since 1961, a diplomatic program whose purpose is not just humanitarian but designed to engender allyship by peoples and countries who might otherwise be exploited by adversaries of the US such as North Korea, Iran, and the historical (and sadly reemergent) Russian regime.

DC/MD/VA friends: If you’re in the area please show the USAID staffers some gratitude today and tomorrow - details in comments.

Kristi Noem Says $200 Million DHS Ad Campaign Thanking Trump Was His Idea Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border.”

A $200M self-congratulatory ad campaign? Gross.

Spot on, with one exception - sadly but surely the world’s oldest hatred is against women.

Illinois looks very different in 2025 than it did in 2019.

We've passed six balanced budgets with nine credit upgrades, invested in education, driven economic growth, strengthened our social safety network, reformed the criminal justice system, and rebuilt our infrastructure.

YouTube video by Mother Jones Trump wants federal power when it's convenient for his agenda. #trump #statesrights

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine).

But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

YouTube video by News2Share Trump supporters announce "Third Term Project" for 2028, view Trump as "Caesar figure" for America

If the intent of the “Third Term Project” doesn’t upset you, then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. The moment this makes it past the House circus to the Senatete floor is the time of death for the last vestiges of American Exceptionalism and the Republic as a whole.

EEOC Seeks To Drop Transgender Discrimination Cases, Citing Trump's Executive Order The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has moved to dismiss six of its own cases on behalf of workers alleging gender identity discrimination.

No longer enforcing a ruling by the Supreme Court…the plaintiffs in these cases should turn right around and file suit against the EEOC.

Don’t expect that to last, and the top one will be the only one that matters. They stacked that deck too.

In Canada your government might actually have the integrity to follow the law (including objections to it and its enforcement).

In the US right now recourse through the courts is iffy at best - difficult to use the law when the lawless are running the circus and don’t care.

Your feigned naivety was very convincing. 🤷🏼‍♂️
