Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections.

Dear @apnews.com
The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.
Fix your headline.
Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted βnoβ on that.
They didnβt seem to mind shutdowns then
U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter. This fact is important given Trump and Stephen Miller are seeking to blame Democrats for all violence to label Dem party a terrorist group. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/us-corpora...

There it is. Trump just confirmed he'll be cutting benefits for hardworking Americans after he shuts down the government.

I canβt believe Iβm watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are βused to itβ but it is absolutely insane
I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.
