Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

Suddenly the military is getting paid on the 15th?

It would’ve been easier to call Johnson, but he didn’t.

This validates his fear of the Epstein files.

When robbing the military piggy bank, is a better option than simply having the house pass a standalone bill to fund the military - it’s bad.

You are so right. I’m a cradle Dem who happens to live in a midwestern uber-red state. I don’t want to be judged alongside the morons in my state who voted for this insanity, nor do I want the R’s here who may be finally seeing the light to go back into their hobbit hole. Thanks!

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

Courage is being yourself every day in a world that tells you to be someone else. Happy "National Coming Out" day... to everyone, whether you're in the closet, fully out, or anywhere in between. #NationalComingOutDay
