Republicans are trying to convince Americans that the Democrats are responsible for the pain of the shutdown. At the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service website, a banner reads: “Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown....

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has canceled House business again next week, meaning that over the last 17 weeks, the House of Representatives will have worked on Capitol Hill for just 20 days.

And the CONgress voted to fund this. Lots of money to kill American citizens but none for their EFFECTIVE health care. The two cartel parties take their bribes and sing: "Well, Laaaahhh-teee--dahhh!"

SOME are not, but the same group turning out for No Kings Protests are subscribers to Independent Media and well populated by older folks. Corporate mainstream propaganda subscriptions have been dropping as independent sources grow. Same is true for dropping membership in the two cartel parties.

It's here. It's just independent media journalism, not mainstream corporate propaganda media.

The two cartel parties are committed to supplying CHEAP labor to the corporate benefactors bribing their party. One prefers that to come from minorities, and the other wants to see indentured servitude as an equal-opportunity policy. Neither wants real democracy.

Watching an interview on Rockt Mtn. PBS of ex governor Cuomo fabricating fear of Mamdami and sounding like Trump by spouting "no one else understands" (but me!). It's easy to see why this Schumer-Wasserman Schultz clone is way behind in all polls despite the efforts of party stooges to install him

Sad but true.

Why aren't people boycotting X and META platforms? These seem run by the most maleficent beings who want Americans First Amendment rights gone.

The cult court of the Supremely Corrupt has not checked him AT ALL. Instead, they have granted him the equivalent of Papal Infallibility, and he can do no wrong while in office. The "court" allowed no exceptions for whether their anointed one is criminal, crazy, or endangering the entire world.

The USA doesn't have a government. It's has an auction selling to bidders of two corrupt cartel parties. Bribery has replaced what formerly was some semblance of law and order.

Thank the cult "court" of the Supremely Corrupt for legalizing their own bribery and installing a ruling class.

Police and their unions spread propaganda useful to establishing support for a police state, as an ICE recruiting insurrectionists is armed by Congress with military weapons that have only American citizens who might resist dictatorship as their possible targets.

We need to support the courageous practitioners of Judaism in taking back control of their identities and religion from a wealthy political cult using "antisemitism" as a shield to hide behind as the cult exercises bribery, genocide and crimes against humanity.

A new reality requires a new kind of Democrat.

Maine voters seem to know it is not a Wasserman-Schultz-Schumer-Jeffries corporate type Democrat. The corrupt Democrats backed by AIPAC money are doing their best to stop him, the same crowd trying to stop Mamdani.

I wish lawyers who use their licenses to practice to engage in political harassment under pretense of practicing law ought to lose these licenses in the states where they are registered.

Partisan stooges are enraged by facts.

Bulwark, would you rather Americans have universal health care or another bulldozer job? You seem to have a stated priority here, and it's not governance that takes care of the nation and its people.

EdinColorado @edincolorado.bsky.social · 1d

I'd rather see Americans have single-payer universal heath care than see a bunch of vacuous distractions like this.

But the cult court of the Supremely Corrupt has declared he can do whatever he wants. Maybe he'll buy the place and rent it out.
