I am an old fart who spent her life watching as fascism first invaded the Whitehouse in 1980. Today we are no longer a democracy and the torch is yours. It's time to fight, but not industrialists/plantations, but 99% / 1%. Know who serves your interests.

I don't believe it. Everyone knows that if he got down on his knees there would be no way up. How would he get down anyway? His girth is too wide. He would fall.

The ballroom is identical, although a bit bigger, than the ballroom in the Czar's Winter Palace. He's been there, I'm sure.

Today in history, 1992: U.S. Navy radioman Allen R. Schindler, Jr., is beaten and stomped to death by two shipmates because he was gay. The hate crime spurred national debate about LGBTQ+ people in the military, ultimately leading to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. /1

Today is the Sports Equinox, one of the few times where many of America’s pro-sports play on the same day. We wish our MLBPA, NFLPA, MLSPA, and NHLPA union members the best during their games today. As you watch them play, remember that they’re union strong!

42 million people, including kids, will go hungry without SNAP food assistance—all because the Trump administration refuses to do anything to end the government shutdown. It’s time for them to quit playing political games with peoples’ lives.

Health insurance costs will more than DOUBLE.
42 MILLION people are about to go hungry without SNAP food assistance.
Federal workers are locked out of their jobs.

Enough is enough. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first. https://bit.ly/4ovmkjK

I think you mean representatives. We have plenty of leaders, we're not sure what happened to our representatives, though. They're out to lunch.
We cannot make the laws that we need to. What do you expect us to do?

The constitution says that the house cannot be on recess for more than 3 days without the senate's approval. No exceptions. They are giving power to Trumpty Dumpty by doing this.
THIS IS ILLEGAL. It is elective despotism.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
