The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Excellent job Rep Houlahan (D-PA), call them out to their faces every chance you get. Trump’s little Johnson (R-LA) gets mad when confronted and asked if he has reached out to the other side to end this Republican government shutdown. Love to see Democrats keeping up the fight🔥

NEW REPORT: More than half of the companies that donated to Trump's ballroom are facing federal enforcement actions.

Donating millions to kiss up to Trump is nothing compared to the billions these companies have at stake in federal contracts and enforcement decisions.

As the federal government shutdown enters its fifth week, WCK teams and volunteers are serving meals in and around the D.C. region to federal workers and their families. Local Chef Corps members, restaurant partners, and volunteers are showing up to support their neighbors in need. #ChefsForFeds

"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams at us the loudest."

-Mon Mothma (Andor)

Weird.

It's almost like her current boyfriend, the director of the FBI who flies her around the nation on government jets, might have shared information that would normally be limited to trusted law enforcement circles.

But that can't be right, because that would probably be a *crime*

BREAM: Schumer says Republicans are weaponizing hunger

MIKE JOHNSON: Absolutely absurd. Remember -- don't get lost in the facts

Sen. Slotkin: “I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the federal government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal, making sure that he and his ilk never have to give up power.”

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

This is exactly what this is about. It is not the Democrats holding up anything. It is the orange buffoons lawlessness and that of his enablers in the GOP.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

the tone deafness is beyond parody

Virginia House Advances Democratic Plan to Counter GOP Gerrymandering Read more here.

The Virginia House of Delegates moved one step closer to redrawing the state’s congressional map in an effort to counter GOP controlled states that have gerrymandered this year at Trump’s request.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

this is insane.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

New Trump rule bars student loan relief for public workers tied to 'illegal' activity The move could cut off some teachers, doctors and other public workers from federal loan cancellation.

The Trump administration is forging ahead with plans to eject some nonprofits from a popular student loan forgiveness program if their work is deemed to have a “substantial illegal purpose." https://to.pbs.org/3WsedIO

They tear-gassed kids last week.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.
