A government shutdown is far better than a working government headed by a FASCIST!

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.
 
Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.
 
Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

The GOP's idea of free speech means only if they agree with what you are saying. If they don't they will then try to silence you using government action, threats and getting you fired from your job.

Trump looks at least one stroke under par today.

Whether it's Barack Obama having SEAL Team Six kill Osama bin Laden or Donald Trump having SEAL Team Six kill a bunch of random Koreans on a fishing boat, both presidents oversaw deadly SEAL Team Six missions.

MAGA, you were right to be worried about an Epstein cover up. You were right to care deeply about the economy. You were right to want to put working families first. So let’s be consistent - It’s time to turn on Trump, he's failed you miserably every front.

Looks like the picture of health and not at all a bloated carcass

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

"The president was never inappropriate with anyone."

Pardon me if I don't consider Ghislaine Maxwell, someone who used to prowl Middle Schools looking for young girls to rape, an expert on what's appropriate behavior.

This is absolutely wild. #txlege

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has posted statement saying:

“American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is UnAmerican”

Hey, all you "I can't support genocide" folks who didn't vote, or voted third party, guess what: you supported the fuck out of genocide.
