What you’re saying is the federal government is ignoring the temporary restraining order that was issued yesterday?

Wonder who’s going to actually do anything about this considering there’s no real mechanism in place to stop this now that the federal government is ignoring the courts openly

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

If Republicans don’t act 24 million Americans will be devastated by sky rocketing health care costs.

Speaker Johnson needs to call his people back and stop covering up for pedophiles.

Republicans are in disarray 1 week into the shutdown President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are straining to project a united front against Democrats.

"Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are straining to project a united front against Democrats, just barely concealing tensions over strategy that have snowballed behind the scenes since agencies closed last week."

When even POLITICO can't spin it for them. lmao

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Back in March, Schumer said he supported the CR because he warned that a shutdown would allow Vought and DOGE and Trump to slash even more of the federal workforce. But we saw that Trump and Elon and Vought did that anyway. And the courts have essentially allowed Trump to do it

β€œI don’t think the Democrats want to shut down either,” Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), a senior appropriator, told Bloomberg Government. β€œTheir concern right now, and it’s a legitimate concern, is that, how can we agree to any deal when our OMB director will just impound the funds and say we’re not going to spend them there?”

β€œIf you’re a Democrat β€” even just like a mainstream Democrat β€” your predisposition might be to help negotiate with Republicans on a funding mechanism,” said Rep. Steve Womack, a senior GOP appropriator. β€œWhy would you do that if you know that whatever you negotiate is going to be subject to the knife pulled out by Russ Vought?”

Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal.

The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.

And just to clarify even further, "contractors" is not all like, mega wealthy defense contractors or what you might imagine when you hear that word. It can be people who provide janitorial and food services and things like that.

I feel like this website needs some shutdown reminders:

- shutdowns are a last resort because they are bad, actually.

Full time federal workers are made whole afterward but many contractors and other workers in the system are not

Don’t be snarky about sacrifices you yourself aren’t making

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeβ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
