The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.

From now on, I’m paying only what our commander in chief says is the price of things. I’m sure grocers and gas companies won’t care.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Classic Trumpian move. Everything is just on the horizon, it’s almost there, so keep putting in good money after bad.
He spent four years claiming he was on the verge of solving everything in 2020, but lost to Biden.
It’s always “just there in the distance”.

Q: What about the split screen between Trump only administering part of the SNAP program while he's having a Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago?
MIKE JOHNSON: The president had an annual Halloween-themed party. That's what he went back to. His obligatory tradition. I discount what you're trying to do there

The idea of a general strike is gaining ground.
We’re experiencing unprecedented inequality, and it’s about to get worse thanks to Trump and the GOP.
In 2027, the top 0.1% will see their taxes fall by around $311,000.
The lowest earners, including those making less than $15,000, will see increases.

This past year alone, the 10 richest people in the U.S. got nearly $700 billion wealthier.
Meanwhile, over 40% of the population is now poor or low-income.
The Trump administration is accelerating an American oligarchy that’s been getting worse for decades.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Whenever we get out of this, antitrust needs to be back on the menu in a big way.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?
