If Democrats don’t add “No Kings” measures to a government funding bill, Trump will ignore whatever Congress passes. Republicans have abandoned the separation of powers, leaving Dems to fight for Congress’s relevance. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/nzG7ATH

As Shutdown Wears On, Trump’s Getting Blamed

But if Democrats don’t demand that he honor any budget deal, they will lose the war even if they win the battle.

This is very helpful when calling your reps. Make sure to call them daily to make sure neither bill pass! Make noise and spread the word! Protect our free speech and privacy! #SaveSpeech

On October 11th, 1960, the #LooneyTunes went prime time on ABC. Happy 65th anniversary to The Bugs Bunny Show.

1. If you're from Michigan, call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this bill regardless of the chances of passing.
- House: www.house.mi.gov
- Senate: senate.michigan.gov/senators/all...

2. The guy pushing this bill just got busting for watching people busting. Hypocrisy at its finest. #SaveSpeech

Peach became quite the gamer ever since Mario introduced her to video games🤭

#mario #supermario #peach #princesspeach #mareach #marioxpeach

A drawing of Mario and Princess Peach
enjoying the classic video game, Pac-Man.
The top half shows a gleeful Mario excitedly
pointing towards the screen while Peach looks
in the same direction with a joyous smile.

The bottom half shows Peach sitting down
having a blast playing Pac-Man, while Mario
is standing next to her on a block happily
cheering her on.
