Yeah, my BS meter is going off the scale.

Trump Aimed Shutdown Cuts at Democrats, but G.O.P. Districts Are Hit, Too

Trump Aimed Shutdown Cuts at Democrats, but G.O.P. Districts Are Hit, Too

Now 28 House Republicans need to go back their impacted districts and tell their constituents that Trump is only “getting rid of Democrat things.”

I hope Dems have solid challengers lined up.

Has anyone counted the gold at Fort Knox lately? 🧐

A cinematic masterpiece. 😀👊🏽✊🏾

😂🤣

Yep… He’s definitely not concerned about the afterlife.

MAGA Mike is lying again and he’s really bad at it. When healthcare costs go up for his constituents he’ll just blame Democrats.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

This dude reeks of corruption. I hope the AG and the courts put his actions under a microscope and pull him apart for every inconsistency.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

The President gets no special new powers during a shutdown. He can't eliminate agencies. He can't use federal funds to punish his political opponents.

As Trump's illegality grows during the shutdown, Democrats' spines should stiffen to oppose his corruption.

It’s time for red states to pay up, we’ve been carrying them long enough.

🤣😂

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

MAGA domestic terrorists are in action.

🤣😂

Stephen Miller is a domestic terrorist.

So Jizz-Lane Maxwell gets to stay in prison for crimes the AG, FBI, and White House say never happened? 🧐

The President of the United States is a dementia addled sociopath whose delusions are going to kill Americans.

Thanks to the government shut down the monuments and museums may be closed, but one of the most popular tourist attractions in Washington, DC is open to the public and free… Just like speech.

Free speech baby! ✌🏾☮️

And expanding the audience to increase both. The GOP practices politics of subtraction, which never results in growth.

Reagan is the one that kills me. If he was just running on his policies, no Republican would vote for him over Trump today. Apparently racism causes mass amnesia.

lol! The problem is nobody wants to see a Kid Rock/Ted Nugent halftime show.

They always stop short of pointing the finger at the person responsible for causing the catastrophic dysfunction. It’s like the tariffs magically appeared by themselves…

That part… ☝️
