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?

Two realities

@annabower.bsky.social is it regular for the transcription service to leave out portions of Grand Jury recordings?

Sure sounds like there might be a paper trail if they were asked to not transcribe everything…

Some presidents leave behind policies; some leave behind bathtubs.

Americans blame Trump and GOP more than Democrats for shutdown, poll finds Independents hold Trump and Republicans responsible for the shutdown by a 2-1 margin, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos.

The White House lights are still on, but the government has been in a blackout for a month. Perhaps Trump thinks this is a way of "rebooting the system"?

"Under Trump's 'genius economic brain,' the US is once again experiencing soaring prices—3% inflation, 15% beef price increase. Perhaps he really is 'feeding' America... but he's just feeding the inflation monster."

The White House is going to build a triumphal arch and a ballroom that can accommodate a thousand people - Trump has finally realized his "Disney presidential dream", the only thing missing is a chimney that can breathe fire.

White House lays off thousands of US government workers, blaming shutdown Hundreds of thousands of workers have been ordered not to report to work since the shutdown began, while others have been told to keep working without pay.

The government has been shut down for more than ten days, and all this is just because the Republicans chose to put political games above the well-being of the people.

Cracking Units.

This basically stops Russia from ability to refine crude into useful fuels.

This is why Russian issue of lack of fuels is snowballing.
