Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They arenโt doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyโve had since Obamacare passed, theyโve never once tried to replace it.
Theyโve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

End the 6 week paid vacation youโve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.
Lauren Boebert put more effort into a hateful Halloween party costume than she ever has into serving the people of Colorado's 4th Congressional District. I'm Trisha Calvarese, the former public servant whose going to fire her. Help me out, RT, follow, pitch in if you can.

Donald Trump is a mentally unhinged authoritarian.
He wants to burn down everything good and decent in our Republic for daring to hold him accountable.
He is a threat to Americaโฆand the world.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"
15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

I never thought I would see the day when a president would say or do the things Trump is doing. At 68, I saw JFK's assassination, RFK & MLK, Jr.'s murder, & Watergate. Nixon had an enemies list, but he didn't sic the DOJ on the people on the list, did he? I don't think so. #TrumpIsAFascist

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress.
But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.
Shameful.
So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Whereโs the media on this?

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.
