I was asked last week at my telephone town hall why Members of Congress are getting paid through this shutdown while federal workers aren’t.

I’m asking the same question. I’ve declined my paycheck during the shutdown, but I’d like to know how many of my colleagues are too. It’s unacceptable.

ICE violently arrested a protester and pointed assault rifles at unarmed community members filming today in Little Village, Chicago.

Ben and Tucker and Megyn and Candace and Nick and Charlie. The MAGA battle isn't what you think it is.

So now we're defending Republicans. They are dragging us into their mass psychosis.

I thought that was a mistake, just as I thought going after bakers was a mistake. It hasn't made life significantly better for LGBTQ+ people, but it *has* come back to haunt the Left.

Sometimes it helps to take a step (or two) back and get a sense of the big picture.

It seems like a Hail Mary to me - she's hoping the First Circuit will rule as she wants them to, but she has no guarantee they will.

new from @tusk81.bsky.social:

Veteran’s Day can’t be properly observed without also noting the vast, heroic contributions of immigrant service members to the United States military.

Unfortunately, our nation has not always given its service members the respect they deserve.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

One of these days an angry mob is going to attack these guys. I won't be sorry to see it.

Always the Right.

Military officials tell troops 168 commissaries could close next month Officials say commissaries will be open through Thanksgiving, but many stateside stores could close soon after due to the government shutdown.

So they blocked full SNAP payments and they may also close almost all the commissaries in the states, in about a month and the ones abroad by the end of the year bc of the shut down.
But at least they and ICE still get paid.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

Republicans are forcing air traffic controllers and Tsa to resign going into the holidays. These Republicans are nothing but scum.

Not even mayor yet and already delivering for the city. 👍

Her parents should be publicly shamed every day for the rest of their lives.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

The thing is, she's a lawyer who clerked for Gorsuch and one of the other conservative justices. She was more than capable of taking care of herself.

I suspect she just wants to fit in with the ruling white elite - same with Vivek and Kash Patel.

She's not going anywhere. She's the child of immigrants, and she knows who he is and sees what he does - and she doesn't say a word.

Either she has the lowest self-esteem on the planet or she's as sociopathic as he is.

They were not dirt poor.

Usha is the one I can't stand. A child of immigrants, she sees who he is, she sees what he does - and she doesn't care.

Either she has pathologically low self-esteem or she's as sociopathic as he is.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

It's difficult to know how much is stupidity and how much is brazenness.

"Only the best people" 🙄

"No judgement."

😏

JFC. What a loser.

Cheryl Hines must have the lowest self-esteem on the planet.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

Not in Massachusetts.
