WATCH- @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the "incredibly dishonest and downright dangerous new talking point being pushed by MAGA:"

“Republicans on Capitol Hill are claiming that peaceful protesters are part of a terrorist network hell bent on destroying America.”

#RepublicanShutdown
Where's the budget 🤔
#DoNothingGOP

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 1d

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

JB Pritzker says NO KINGS, SHOW UP ON 10/18

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

Trump’s tariffs - making the rich richer was the only goal.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 2d

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
