This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

No. They should not get paid until the shut down is done.

U.S. Congress, including Senators & Representatives, is approximately $174,000 per year - Speaker of the House: $223,500 per year. The question is how many days do the work? Are these salaries worth it?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 2d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Let those cops walk and hire people who knows what it means to be a cop. To serve & protect. Keep the good cops.

Peter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I think it would be an absolute shame if people found out the Portland Inflatable Frog Costume is still available on Amazon under $40 and it'll be delivered before Halloween. We wouldn't want the regime to be defeated by a frog army, now would we?

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Republicans shy down the government & have kept it shut down. Even if Trump alters paying the military, will that make them feel better about the shutdown? Hope not! The problem is still the same.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam @repsuhas.bsky.social · 2d

House Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate and end this shutdown. There is a clear solution and the American people support it — protect health care and stop firing federal workers and contractors.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Frightening that Speaker Johnson lies with such ease. I don’t think that’s something you learn in church or in Bible studies. I believe Thou shalt not lie is 1 of the 10 commandments, yes??
