Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days.

Epstein Shutdown.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Kind of weird I haven't heard a Halloween-themed remix of the vengabus song, feels kind of obvious. starts with organ doing tocatta and fugue but resolves into a minor version of the bus horn chord. The monsterbus is coming, etc etc, from here to Transylvania it's spreading dancing mania

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

This is what anyone talking to any of these liars should do!

Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

All facts

Children that were kidnapped by invading Russian barbarians, not displaced.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Chicago restaurants are going European in that they don’t serve ICE

Yep

I wonder if those 8 are the same 8 that went to Moscow on the 4th of July, 2018. Did we ever get a report on what they were doing there? No

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time. Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden. O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

Maybe they haven't started quoting from her goodbye message. Spoiler alert, it's great.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Can you imagine having made a lifetime commitment to the military, a general or admiral, a leader who worked for respect only to be called to heel by a drunken idiot who tried to claim stolen valor to burnish nearly non-existent credentials and told what your "ethos" should be as you attack the US?
