The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

I used to watch nothing but CSPAN until I switched to online streaming TV service that did not carry it. I hate commercials and it has no commercials. Watched it all day. I could recognize almost every congress critter by voice.

kind of fun that frog is now both a fascist-adjacent and antifascist-adjacent icon.

The financial side of Bloomberg and CNBC do not want to touch that Epstein is a huge reason for the shut down.

The Frog Costume has gone from $25 to almost $40 on amazon over the last week. There's an army brewing.

Really hoping this goes down as an all time backfire for the GOP. I know it immediately made me book my trip to the DC protest and I doubt I am the only one.

The amount of frog costumes being sold right now must be astronomical.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Instead of NYC I am going to Washington DC for #NoKings. Just bought my train ticket.

Absolutely no of this matter. Nothing matters if stocks keep going up and 10% of the population can pretend shit aint bad.

GOP is trying to start a civil war and get protestors killed, stocks rally.

hard to see any reaction to the government shutdown in the Michigan Survey ... typically such dysfunction leaves an imprint. of course, views were already quite downbeat.
