Government’s shut down. Federal workers aren’t getting paid — some even being fired.
MAGA Speaker Johnson just canceled House votes for yet another week.

And this guy’s out golfing.
You can’t make this 💩 up.

I know we should celebrate Tony Fitzpatrick for his Chicago art, but I'll always love his portrait of NYC's Flaco

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

My last job was for a very large Fortune 100 company and the building used to house Westinghouse Corporate Center. It sat on 135 acres of wilderness, 1 mile from my house. I took this from my cubicle on the 5th floor on Oct 19, 2017.
