So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Should they be serving them?

It's not about what education does for the individual, but what it provides for society. Do we want knowledgeable citizens with the power of critical thought who can ensure that a free, democratic society can survive. Or people skilled only in providing profits for corporations?

Did the Republicans really forget that the custom of not saying uncomfortable truths about dead people only lasts a few days?

Once again it's the far right. It's always the far right.

If Americans did this more often, we wouldn't have to put up with so much crap.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Since 1975. Show us the last 10 years and it will be even more clear that the far right, including the GOP, is responsible for the violence.

She supported the genocide in Palestine. She could never have unified this country.

The unpalatable truth is that they were scared. There is the real chance that Trump would retaliate against countries whose representatives hurt his fragile ego. That's why, unlike last time, they didn't laugh at his ridiculousness.

I thought Biden did right by Ukraine. That made it even more tragic that he chose to become "Genocide Joe", the second worse president in US history.

If there's a God maybe he can forgive them. But what they did to the innocent Palestinians of Gaza is something a person with a conscience would find it hard to live with.

He's going to do something incredible stupid in order to distract from the Epstein files.

This is antisemitic BS. Many Jews are appalled by the genocide and in the forefront of the movement for Palestinian rights. www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/take-action/

It was very British. I think there are things people from other countries might have missed.

Hit and miss. Overall pretty good. I'm trying to think of a film with a more bizarre ending.

“Anyone caught referring to the President of the United States as ‘Fat Satan’ will be immediately detained and deported to a country selected by the President. Thank you for your attention to this matter.” - Fat Satan

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but
when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

For those in #Sinclair and #Nexstar markets.... #Boycott the advertisers!! After all, Disney got the message that way! There may be some you can’t, but there are some you can!

You took AIPAC money in exchange for supporting the mass murder of innocent people. You voted to honor a racist, homophobic "Christian nationalist". You are part of the problem. Go away.

Harris chose to support a child murdering war criminal despite it costing tens of millions of votes, and very likely the presidency. Unforgivable.

She made the choice to support the genocide against Palestine knowing full well it would disgust and alienate tens of millions of potential Democratic voters. Now we're all paying the price. I'll never forgive her for this.

Jimmy Kimmel announces that the first guest on his show following his suspension will be the Epstein files.

Donald Trump just blamed the left for hate speech, while delivering a hate speech at the memorial for a man who said there was no such thing as hate speech.

I'd find it hard to be friends with anybody who answered this in the negative.

Just insane !!! 😳

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
