The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The Rosewater Trilogy is amazing and I really recommend the audio version. The narrator, Bayo Gbadamosi is fantastic

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do."

Hey. I see you just worked with my Senator, Todd Young on a bill. If you see him can you tell I’m still waiting to find out why he’s destroying our country and when stopped loving America. Also, his newsletter has a typo. Maybe we need the Dept of Education after all

A 60-year-old couple in Virginia with an income between $63,450 and $105,750 could see their monthly premiums increase by as much as $1,076 per month if Republicans don’t come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government AND fix their health care mess.

This is from newsletter I got today from Senator Todd Young. Who supports the removal of the department of education. How ironic is this

They definitely have solved the problem of “not enough notice for the protest”. My calendar is marked accordingly

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham love to say they “work for the people,” but when it’s time to protect healthcare for their constituents, they side with Trump and support deep cuts.

We can’t let their lies stand — speak up, organize, and hold them to account.

Federal workers must be paid. It’s the law. Instead of attempting to bully and fearmonger, a better use of time would be working on a solution to the MAGA Republican health care crisis.
