Sometime today, Mike Johnson will say, "I've been very busy not watching pornography this morning and I am only just hearing about the voting yesterday so I am unable to comment on all of that right now."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

It is a choice to give Argentina a $40 billion bailout

It is a choice to use ICE in a way which terrorizes US citizens

It is a choice to tear down the East Wing of the White House and spend $350 million on a ballroom

Just as it is a choice to starve 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP
