We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Trump earlier today when asked about the construction of the new ballroom:

“It won’t interfere with current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

This is how it was left now overnight ⬇️

Dammit. Tomorrow is PT for my cadets and I really think I need to join in.

Donald Trump keeps posting images of him as a king and the legacy media ignores it as if it is normal. It is not. It is dangerous.

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused.

My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust.

You don't demolish the White House to build a much bigger presidential palace if you think you are only there until 2028

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Wow. This is obscene and heartbreaking. We have so little architectural history in this country and to be so cavalier in its destruction is not just mind-blowing but sickening.

The White House keeps making a big deal of the fact that the ballroom is privately funded but that’s one of the worst things about it.

These people and companies are buying influence. None of this is okay.

A lot of FAKE OUTRAGE over construction of the big, beautiful (and privately funded) White House Ballroom.
FACT: Presidents have been renovating and expanding the White House for more than 100 years.
In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing.
In 1909, President William Howard Taft added the first Oval Office during a West Wing expansion.

This is the only Hate America Rally that I have ever seen. Maybe someone should remind Mike Johnson what one looks like. 🔄

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES.

Remind your friends, your family, and everyone you know—democracy only works if we do.

The SCOTUS6 are corporation owned and operated.

Will the Supreme Court Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity?

A private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

When a government of the People, for the People, and by the People literally & figuratively shits on the People, it's name is Tyranny. We the People have a duty & an obligation to exercise our Rights & Liberty to overthrow those traitors, & abolish their treason by any means necessary.

Republicans certainly weren't shy about breaking polite conversation taboos when it came to obsessing over Bill Clinton's infidelity, Democrats should definitely bring up in every interview, "This president has sick fantasies about shitting on the American people." Let them bleep 'em.
