Republicans don't need any Democratic votes in the Senate to open the government. John Thune can nuke the filibuster today.

If Pritzker said “Man roll away from me with this” everyone would surely be in an uproar:

Now Abbott will get away with this but Pritzker zing his ass in response and the media will hit the fainting couches with the quickness.

The MAGA initiative to run up on HBCU campuses starting shit under the guise of a “debate” is the ultimate in weirdo behavior.

You don’t want us in White spaces and we don’t go but y’all and your pet 🦝 won’t leave us alone in our own spaces. Crazy shit.

Affluent White Americans don't like being told there's something "wrong" with their child so they're seeking any answers that puts the blame on external factors like Tylenol, circumcision, vaccines etc instead of internal factors such as age, health or genetics.

I don’t exactly how to phrase this, but like… is autism that bad???? Like, why is it such a source of fear??? Of course there are challenges but you can be autistic and have a rich, fulfilling life! Many people do! I don’t understand the preoccupation.

People need to be thanking Black people because we didn’t roll out into the streets but, they won’t.😒

KennyMack1971 @kennymack1971.bsky.social · 1d

Man they were banking on mass civil unrest because now they’re getting desperate and looking more ridiculous by the day.

Texas National Guard troops to Illinois? We gotta send troops to Portland?

This is ridiculous. It’s almost like they’re saying “please riot”

Pathetic.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on polls showing Republicans are getting blamed for the shutdown: "I'm not putting the blame on the president. I'm actually putting the the blame on the Speaker and Leader Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening ... we control the House & Senate & have the WH."

They’re getting frustrated. Black people aren’t storming the streets and giving them the visuals they need. So now they’re sending troops to blue areas trying to a pick a fight and so far no one is obliging them. It’s like they’re saying “fight us damn it!” and no one is playing ball.

The people dressing up in silly costumes at these protests and clergy showing up really reveal the lie at the center of their claims that they're the good guys stamping out violent crime. Hard to believe when they're teargassing a twerking unicorn and a preaching reverend.

Airports are experiencing massive staffing shortages because of the Trump shutdown.

House Republicans remain on vacation.

Get back to work so we can reopen the government!
