MAGAts made Hunter Biden's life a living hell because they claimed that he used his father's influence. A similar thing is basically happening with Baron but it is crickets from the right as expected. Apparently the kid is also making a lot of money off of crypto thanks to Daddy's insider trading

Not only did they lose their customer base but they lost most of their farm workers too. All thanks to the felon.

Vought is also the one likely writing most of the executive orders and actually running the government along with Stephen Miller. So yes, he is very dangerous. He also hates federal workers and it shows.

I honestly can't take any line of BS coming from Scott who shamefully tries to justify the felon's ignorance. Scott is an openly gay married man who supports a regime that discriminates against LGBTQ Nothing he says has any meaning. He is a sellout.

The representatives in the House are getting paid. Regardless of the shutdown, they have work to do and they have a member to swear in! They need to get their asses back to DC..Mike Johnson needs to do his damn job or step down from his speakership!

A MAGA now owns Dominion Voting Systems - what could go wrong?

Support Democracy @supportdemocracy.bsky.social · 1d

The fact that a MAGA operative bought Dominion Voting Systems, is not getting much play among Democrats. The company’s name “Liberty Voting” says it all. MAGA will now control the voting in 27 states.

If the Israeli leadership loves Trump so much then they should have him move there and be their leader. Many of us here are tired of his abuse of power and crimes against humanity that he is committing here.

Russell Vought is a total jackass. He needs to be removed from the government but so does the entire fascist regime.

LyndaGood @lyndagood.bsky.social · 20h

And we’re just sitting here,letting it happen? This is deliberate psychological assault on the people who keep our government alive. These are our neighbors, our friends, our public servants and they’re being weaponized for politics. How is this legal? When did cruelty become a governing strategy?

A reminder that Russell Vought previously said he wanted government workers "to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains...We want to put them in trauma."
This isn't a government shutdown; it's government sabotage.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Felon47 and the big abomination bill is to blame!

Lee West @whodat35.bsky.social · Jul 27

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
– $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

The felon was president during J6 and he controlled the FBI. Is he trying to say he didn't know what his own FBI was doing? This f****** moron needs to be removed from office! It's remarkable that he is actually trying to claim this BS. Nothing I hate more than when MAGAts try to rewrite history

When are MAGAts going to admit that it was never about the price of groceries, goods, utilities, inflation or politicians enriching themselves in office? The felon has become a BILLIONAIRE via grifting from the gullible, extortion and his shady crypto scheme. It's crickets from the MAGA crowd.
