So my tax dollars won’t give children school lunches because “how would we pay for it” but they will go towards building a base for another country because “America first”. Seems legit

But those that rely on aid the most are also the ones that believe the GOP’s endless lies of “Democrats did this” without so much as fact checking. It’s why they keep voting against their own self interests; they have an enemy, and no amount of facts or evidence will ever sway their feelings

Murder is wrong! To prove that, we’re going to make every taxpayer an accessory to state-sanctioned murder…

I don’t think either them has the cult following he does. He’s the GOP phenomenon that can do no wrong, but not even Reagan had that kind of sycophancy. The next republican will probably be in for a culture shock at the comparative lack of cult worship

You make it sound like a guy who got lost, didn’t know where he landed, committed atrocities, was arrested for them, and died penniless shouldn’t be honored with a holiday in a country he never once set foot in…

The US president is currently appearing in commercials hawking watches. While in office. During a shutdown that he caused. Yesterday he admitted on camera he “took away free speech” and played with invoking the insurrection act.

When, if ever, will you do anything about this? It’s your literal job…

$75B Gestapo, $211B to tax cuts for Elon & friends, $849.8B military budget

Explain again how we “can’t afford” universal healthcare, housing the homeless, free college tuition, or school meals for K-12, I’ll wait…

Looking forward to the day #WA03 gets congressional representation.

But, while our democracy dies at least we get treated to tweets about car headlights and reminded how office workers in Vancouver aren’t important though, so it’s not a total loss…

The team that avoided tariffs by publicly bribing the King of America is also doing everything the King tells them to do? Inconceivable!

Sex worker introduced to pedophile by his sex trafficking bestie seems like the tamest of cover ups so far this year

Yeah 1 attack totally justifies 2 years of genocide.

While you’re busy not holding the White House accountable for DECLARING WAR ON AMERICAN CITIES & CALLING ALL DEMOCRATS TERRORISTS, do you think you’ll have the time to question why Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat duly elected 2 weeks ago?

It’s almost like giving a federal Gestapo more money than most of the world’s militaries was a bad idea 🫠

The guy trampling all your constitutional rights wants to make sure you always have the right to be gunned down by one of his supporters

There’s nothing “bipartisan” about a congressperson ignoring the president’s unconstitutional withholding of congressionally approved funding to Democratic voting states.

You either oppose it, or you support it with your complacency.

You have chosen the latter for 256 days so far.

You are MAGA.

Trump is retaliating against Americans for Trump shutting down the Republican government. Got it.

Is this not close enough to home for you?

Do you honestly not care?

Is THIS what you think “bipartisanship” looks like?

Why am I paying taxes if you won’t do the one job you were elected to do: REPRESENT #WA03?

POTUS declared Portland “war ravaged” to send active duty military to police US citizens, a city that shares a border with #WA03

Today he declared a “war within” and encouraged US troops to “train” in US cities.

You have zero comment.

At what point is this enough for you to start doing your job?

Truly unlikable human troll suddenly scared her rhetoric to an armed base of unstable hate mongers might possibly cause harm to her, which is why she suddenly cares.

Every republican ever: this shit is fine until it personally affects me, then it’s awful & unfair & needs to stop

Democrats have zero power so when Republicans shut down the government we’ll all blame Democrats

You ran as a Democrat. Googling your name still claims you are one.

Funny, then, that you spend all your time rejecting either party, while refusing to acknowledge this regime is acting unconstitutionally.

The mental gymnastics you must go through to justify your existence must be exhausting.
