It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

So much for “America First.”

R’s refuse to grasp this, only because its use as a tool of hate and division is convenient. Ditto the term (and historical significance) of “woke.”

It’s an ideology not an organization. These people want a bogeyman, and bogeymen are fictional.

R’s have used every vehicle to ram through one-sided bills and undo bipar agreements.

Yet now R’s need votes from D’s to pass a budget.

R’s have NEVER discussed a budget with D’s.

Other than Charlie Brown, who would ever trust R’s to fix healthcare AFTER the gov is reopened?

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Is anyone keeping a running lie count for 47? It must be in five figures by now. And I wouldn’t quibble if someone told me six figures.

"It’ll be a lot, and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it’ll be a lot of people."

In response to a reporter question, Trump said that the layoffs across the federal government due to the government shutdown will be "Democrat oriented."

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
