President Biden was a good man and loved this country. His transformation of this country after the pandemic was the most rapid of any country. May he have a fast and total recovery.

Only the wealthy are enjoying these reruns. Everyone else is worried if they will be able to afford health insurance or if they will have a job and the active military are standing in line at food pantries.

With a warming planet, there will be new diseases, there will be pandemics in the future and we will have no knowledge or means to fight them. Medical breakthroughs had funding cut so they could not be carried through to completion. It will take decades just to get back to levels in recent past.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Is this what we have become? The Democrats wrote a bill to pay the troops with the government shutdown but Mike Johnson refuses to reconvene the House to vote on it. He can't let those pesky Epstein files see the light of day.

Healthcare was the other bright factor but now the GOP has destroyed it.

Tweet from Bryce Greene reads: “Knew the economy was bad and fake but this is really just insane.” Below is a tweet from spike with the headline: “Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says.”

trump kept promising a new, better healthcare plan "in 2 weeks" every few weeks then said "who knew healthcare cound be so difficult" They never had a healthcare plan then, they don't have one now and they never will, but they are starting the same BS again. That is why I commented the way I did.

Republicans attempted to repeal, modify, or otherwise curb the ACA more than 70 times between its passage in 2010 and late 2017. trump campaigned on it for his first term. They Republicans kept trying to overturn it. John McCain's no vote the last time stopped it. That is why trump hates him. 1/2

Johnson is taking all this time to run to all the TV networks to lie about everything and claim it is all the Democrat's fault for everything, while the military is not gettin paid
Democratic Rep Adelita Grijalva was voted into office on Sept 23 and Johnson is still refusing to swear her in.

House Recess Extended to Oct. 19 As Government Shutdown Continues

Speaker Mike Johnson just extended the House recess through next week, which means members of Congress will keep getting paid for doing nothing while essential staff like members of the military will work without getting paychecks during the shutdown.
That's Republican leadership.

The fact that we are even talking about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize feels indicative of mass psychosis. The dude spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women, girls and breaking the laws of business, morality and democracy. He is the most unpeaceful cunt ever.

Thune knows they can use the nuclear option to pass the bill and reopen the government. They used it a few weeks ago to get a block of Republicans confirmed. If they do that they can't blame the Democrats for the shutdown and point to them as the reason the ACA tax credits were not renewed though.

BREAKING: Trump is literally allowing the nation, which gave him a $400 million jet that he called a “terrorist supporter” eight years ago, an Air Force Base in Idaho.

Is this “America first“?

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

How many times have they tried to repeal ObamaCare? After over a decade, I am sure they have concepts of an idea of a plan and they will have an answer in "2 weeks". Rinse and repeat. 🙄
