Senate is back in session today.
1/ So a quick π§΅on where things are at on the shutdown.
You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.
This administration is already using government websites to blame Democrats for the Trumplican shutdown, now they want to use airport video screens to do the same? Things like this should not be allowed. This administration is spreading more hate and division at every turn. They donβt want a USA.

Itβs a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From @jesseduquette.bsky.social )
Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

"I will never know Diane Keaton, but she had a wonderful quality about her that made me think sheβd always offer the best life advice and a damn good laugh while passing the joint back on a summer evening."

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:
God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.
Iβm here in Washington ready to work with anyone to end this shutdown and make sure your health care premiums donβt double or even triple. But where are House Republicans? Taking another week off work. Itβs time for them to come help us fix this.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges
DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didnβt
The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press
