Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

Sure, Jan.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman hospitalized after fall, his office says U.S. Sen. John Fetterman had what his office says was a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” that caused him to feel light-headed and fall during an early morning walk.

Fetterman's heart stopped beating this morning. His AICD presumably kicked in and restarted his heart immediately. Otherwise, he would now be dead.

The people who pushed him into the Senate are now telling us we can't nominate old people, because they might get sick.

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

Senator in 2010 deposition: 13-year-olds can consent to sex U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma testified as part of a civil case into an alleged sexual assault at the Baptist church camp he oversaw that he believed a 13-year-old can consent to sex.

The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 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.

Guess whose flight did NOT get cancelled today?

While there are 42M on SNAP that we know of, but I believe the number of food insecure is much higher. Those who qualify, but are afraid of being stigmatized for using the help their tax dollars paid into. For decades, the GOP has pushed, that to be a ‘good American’ you have to suffer…YOU DON’T!!!

Byron Donalds: "The inflation that is still hurting in some respects our economy? That was unleashed by the Democrats."

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Are they finally catching on to his eternal grifting and gaslighting?

Rick Scott: "He hates war. He hates war. Trump is just busting his butt every day working hard. Getting our economy going, to bring peace. I mean, you really have to admire him. He's got a lot of stamina."

There should be a German word for white men who cannot conceive of possibility they'll be held accountable for their own actions.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

“Job cuts hit highest October level in 20 years”

Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

We approve this message.

If people in NY love what Donald Trump is doing to the country, then Elise Stefanik is your candidate for governor.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.
