The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

A new draft Trump memo argues that furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for theirย forced time offย during the government shutdown.
ย 
Those who represent federal workers or advocate on their behalf say the White House is misreading the clear intent of the law.

Not to mention his closing all the mental health hospitals. Homelessness/ mental health care completely intertwined.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they havenโ€™t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who arenโ€™t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

What my (your) tax dollars are being used for at this point is questionable to be nice. Bailing out Argentinian billionaires, ICE harassing citizens, money into trump family crypto, WTH?

Obviously heโ€™s lying but heโ€™s going to pardon her. Gross.

Trump doesn't rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell:

"I mean, I'd have to speak to the DOJ. I'll look at it."

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won her election two weeks ago. Republicans refuse to seat her in Congress.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Thought the โ€œnewsโ€ was supposed to report the news, like facts. But CBS is going another way I guess.

Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader After warning Congress for months about premium spikes, the leader of the country's insurance commissioners โ€” a Republican from North Dakota โ€” says he's hopeful there could be a last minute fix.

If youโ€™re of a certain age your fathers and grandfathers went into war to fight fascism like this. My heart breaks for them and all they fought for and sacrificed to only bring us to this place where it is literally in our backyard. Iโ€™m so sorry to all of them.
