How do courts hold him accountable? If not him, who is to be held accountable?

Does she even hear herself? She is spouting GOP perspectives not Dem perspectives on race and immigration. This is almost comical - if it weren’t so earth-shatteringly nonsensical.

If blue states are making additional funding available, are red states doing the same for their residents? Or would that be considered disloyal to the GOP strategy to use hunger as a weapon?

With court-ordered SNAP benefits being partially restored, what is your state doing to help those who will lose benefits? www.governor.ny.gov/news/governo... Here’s NYS’s response.

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

It has been suggested to me that I tone down my political opinions. This message was conveyed to me by a friend via my husband. Even though he knew better, my husband delivered the message as promised. I don’t fault the messenger. As my Bsky friends can see, message not received!

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Tomorrow you get to use your powerful voice. Make a plan today to get out and vote. Check the weather so that it will not impact your ability to cast your ballot. Need a ride to the polls? Call a friend today to ask for a lift tomorrow. Vote for the town, city, county, state and country you want.

People keep equating millionaires with billionaires. Let’s be clear: a billion is a thousand million. A millionaire can buy the best TV. A billionaire can buy the company that makes it. A millionaire can pick up the dinner tab. A billionaire can feed a nation — or choose not to.

I loathe hearing the voices of both of these people but this deserves to be heard and shared.

Everyone has the power to make the world a better place for one other person today. Hold a door, let someone merge in front of you, drop a tip in the tip jar, smile or greet as you pass on the street. Love>Hate.

I made a donation to a food bank. I’m not here to pat myself on the back but to remind you that you have power. Resistance is not always a fight or a push. Sometimes it is an offer of help in opposition to the abuse leveled by the powerful. Let’s end the week with a powerful message of hope & help.

So powerful...

Sigh. We are in the hands of a baby ball of ego.

Sums things up quite nicely.

Are they really not paying air traffic controllers, getting ready to starve those who utilize SNAP benefits and furloughing thousands of dedicated Federal workers all because they don’t want to. Release. The. Epstein. Files?

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

Until the courts take this seriously, we will continue to have people like this ignore their rulings. Time to teach everyone to play by the rules.

Just a message from those in the know. Your dollar will go much further if you made a $ donation to a food bank than if you donate actual food products. Save yourself the time and the trouble of shopping and dropping. Just go to their website and make a donation.

US hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic The U.S. government's gross national debt has surpassed $38 trillion during the federal shutdown, marking a record high.

“the U.S.’s gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday, a record number … also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic”

Maybe instead of giving Trump $300M for a ballroom, billionaires can just pay more taxes.

We all feel alone until one of us is brave enough to show others who we are and what we support and then we find community.

#nokings in #nyc. Such great community. We are united for a better country and no dictators.

Mike is a “see no evil” “hear no evil” kind of guy. But all of he lies that come out of his mouth? He’s not a “speak no evil” kind of guy.

This post is not safe for reading when you have just taken a drink!

Does anyone imagine what Stephen Miller’s young life must have been like? He must have been tortured by some people to have this much hate in his heart.

I can interpret this for everyone. He means that more American racists have found the freedom to speak about their racism out loud and proud. Before this Republican led regime, they had to hide their racism. But not anymore. They can even act on it if they want to join ICE.
