Resistance - Dem's Keep the Gov. Shut Down

This reminds me of Rudy Giuliani describing the guy who patted him on the back once at Shop Rite years ago as a brutal attack that felt like he had been shot.

Without anyone saying a word, everyone involved in this episode knew the risks and the safest path forward. They know, instinctively, how to survive in a declining media organization for one more day — please Trump, Weiss, and Ellison, and everyone’s happy. Piss them off and watch out.

Worth remembering…

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

Here’s How the AI Crash Happens The U.S. is becoming an Nvidia-state.

These billionaires can’t bring their own clean power to the grid? Can’t pay emissions fee on pollution they cause? World’s biggest freeload.

But now she has 175 million dollars worth of private jets so problem solved.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Consistent with all Christian principles..... (or principals??)

And there it is...

Announcement is made that the US House will be out of session again next week

They haven't voted since mid-September

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake: “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

So Biden and the Dems wouldn’t get rid of the filibuster to help people but Trump will do it to avoid helping people

So damn predictable

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true.

The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

All true….privileged from birth.

Hold that fucker in contempt.

This is JD Vance with his family at Thanksgiving.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

"What is the name of the particular country?" Warren pressed. "If you can't answer that question, I don't see how you can represent American soybean farmers."

The answer is Argentina, a country about to receive a $20 billion bailout from Trump.
