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.

Such an evil man who cloaks himself in righteousness. Beware of false prophets.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.

SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

Heard the exact opposite talking points back in 2013 when House Republicans were holding government funding hostage in an effort to erase the ACA. Back then they were insisting that Barack Obama and Harry Reid negotiate and blamed them for the shutdown because they wouldn't.
