The story of Trump getting a COVID booster should go viral.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 4d

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.

This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

No. No it’s not. Portland is not “burning to the ground.” He’s lying. He’s fomenting hate & division. He’s aching to get our military on our streets to shoot at our citizens. He is the absolute worst of us.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

When Trump dies and is buried I hope his epithet reads, "Here Lies Donald Trump For The Very Last Time."

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

James Fallows @jfallows.bsky.social · 10d

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)

Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency

They're in command. It's on them.

OBrienSci @obriensci.bsky.social · 11d

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.

Just follow the gop playbook!

“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”

As nauseum.

Don’t lead with the nuance.

Conservative White Christians will worship serial predators,
career criminals,
neo-Nazi influencers,
race-baiting podcasters,
xenophobic nationalist politicians,
and homophobic celebrity evangelists.

They worship just about anybody but Jesus.

I’d like to say I’m shocked.

Karen Attiah was unjustly fired by Washington Post for speaking the truth and now her beloved companion is needing emergency surgery.
Shares are appreciated and a great way to show support.

Artemis update:

It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating.

A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs.

If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link.

God, I sure hope the Rapture is tomorrow and that everyone who believes in it goes.

The rest of us will experience Heaven on Earth.
