This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

Clarksville veterans say care, not cuts to the Veterans Administration, are needed • Tennessee Lookout Tennessee veterans face worsening chronic illnesses as a result of long waits for care and denial of claims from the Veterans Administration.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

This really is a GREAT sign!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The "Party of Law & Order" is surprisingly partial to pardoning and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals who disobey the law and disrupt the order.

Such a disgraceful bunch of bullies!

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

#derelictionofduty
Have a judge swear her in since tiny Johnson can't seem to come to work or do his duty whatsoever.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Trump had the audacity to say that America lost the Vietnam war because we were too “politically correct.”

5 time draft dodging, traitor says what?

Why are Republicans secretly glad that because of the shutdown no jobs report will be released on Friday, even if they won't admit it? This is why 👇

Mike Johnson has a face that SCREAMS👊🏾ME!

DEMOCRATS,

Call a lie a lie. What are you waiting for?!

Donald Trump and Republicans are executing a ruthless plot to take away Medicaid, dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and slash Medicare. Millions will lose coverage. Millions more will face higher costs. 15 million Americans will lose their health insurance under the Big Ugly Law and the Republican plot to gut Affordable Care Act tax credits Source: Congressional Budget Office Over $700 annually Average increase in health care costs for approximately 22 million Americans receiving health care tax credits Source: KFF (1 g,2 g) Nearly $1 trillion In cuts to Medicaid as a result of the Republicans' Big Ugly Law Source: Congressional Budget Office Over $500 billion In cuts to Medicare due to Republicans' Big Ugly Law Source: Congressional Budget Office

Democrats are fighting to save massive healthcare cuts. Republicans want to pass a budget that slashes them to enrich the top 1% & Trump’s facist projects.

Know the facts. Accept the truth. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

YouTube video by Robert Reich Why Corporate Media is Bending the Knee

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag?

Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on?

Is it under his mattress?

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Fox News running around saying that “Democrats poison minds” may just be the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard. Hey Fox, how did that $700 million lying lawsuit taste?
