Politicians complicate things. But this whole issue of why the House has closed down for the past 5 months and why Adelita Grijalva isn’t sworn in yet likely isn’t complicated at all. The answer is likely pretty damn simple: Trump is most likely a pedophile, and Speaker Johnson knows it. That’s all.

Deal to end government shutdown in reach At least 10 Senate Democrats are expected to support a key procedural motion.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

100% this.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If Democrats reopen the government for a whisper of a promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies, then the shutdown was pointless in the first place.

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance.

If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

Trump is still using hunger as a political weapon while also refusing to address skyrocketing health care costs — and seems to be enjoying it. It’s the definition of sadism. A truly twisted man.

Senile Satan is straight-up lying again. After away food and healthcare from millions - this is his go-to defense. Obama has never made any profits or royalties from the ACA, ever.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

If the billionaires paid their fair share of taxes, they could end hunger.

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

It shouldn’t require a judge to step in for the president to honor his oath.

Yes

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.

Republicans said no.

So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
Republicans OWN this shutdown.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

This is what the right does. I know bcuz I used to do some of it as well back in my divisive right wing asshole days. It’s all about spreading fear among the MAGA base. Fear of brown people, black people, and Muslims. It’s all about scaring them. It’s just so damn wrong.

Trump may tell Americans — even his own supporters — that they won’t pay the tariffs.

But at the same time, his own lawyers are arguing before the Supreme Court that American businesses and consumers pay the tariffs.

Listen for yourself.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva….

#TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

The contradictory messages are happening because we have a senile old fool who is mentally unstable who bases his foreign policy off things he sees or Fox and clips from social media that his hacks show him. The entire world is less safe as a result.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Republicans denounce new Democratic offer to end shutdown - Roll Call A new Senate Democratic plan for ending the partial government shutdown met with a wall of Republican resistance late Friday.

fine. keep it shut. Trump's approval seems to drop every week this goes on. rollcall.com/2025/11/07/r...

Trump and congressional Republicans are responsible for the longest shutdown in history, all to make Americans' health care more expensive to pay for tax handouts to their billionaire donors.
