I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

In case you were wondering why the government was shut down:

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

My local rural school district is set to lose over $700,000 a year under the new school funding formula, while the Governor is funding private religious schools with taxpayer vouchers.

What a scam…

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Netanyahu is continuing to commit genocide.

It was never about hostages.

It was never about a single day event.

It’s about colonialism, occupation, propaganda & megalomania.

We are dealing with these core issues here, too.

Simplification & consistency will do the world a world of good.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

I suggest democrats flood social and other media saying they are sorry for the hardship’s of the shutdown but it’s to prevent the hardships of a rise in insurance costs. We’d love to pass a clean bill but we can’t trust republicans and trump to negotiate in good faith no matter what they say now.
