So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

If you see ICE agents spitting in public in the City of Chicago, please photograph and report to the local police!

It seems the SCOTUS is about to rule that Christians have a 1st Amendment (?) right to torture gay kids into denying their true nature.

The USA's morph into Gilead is almost complete.

Supreme Court skeptical of state bans on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ kids

The court heard arguments in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, a Christian talk therapist in Colorado, who argues that the state's ban violates her First Amendment rights.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

The majority party in Congress sets the voting schedule. House Republicans canceled votes for all of the entire week.

They haven't scheduled a vote since September 19.

Remember that the next time they try to blame the shutdown on Democrats.

Trump is doing his damnedest to create the violence he claims he wants to stop. Shooting pepper balls at a person's head can lead to serious injury. Doing it while they are praying is inexcusable. Praying Rev. David Black of Chicago's 1st Presbyterian is ok. www.chicagofirstchurch.org/pastor-black

As a Minnesotan, once again, we are ashamed of the actions of our law enforcement. This is the state of Derek Chauvin, murderer of George Floyd. M. Noor, murderer of Justine Damond. Kim Potter, murderer of Daunte Wright.

A 50yo black man was having a stroke, and police officers in Eagan - including ones who are *specially trained* to spot strokes - threw him in a jail cell for hours. He suffered a massive brain bleed, causing his brain to *squeeze out through the bottom of his skull*.
