“And I wish that #Republicans would put as much energy into doing their jobs and protecting health care of their constituents as they do into protecting Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

And what if they take their hate and turn it into progress for all!

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

A troll on the Other Place asked why the ACA needed to be "fixed".

Here’s how Trump & the GOP tried to kill and sabotage the ACA—making it costlier. Now they want to let the tax credits expire too.

A Republican mom with two medically fragile kids begs Mike Johnson to stop Trump’s shutdown:

“My kids could die.”

And this MF just sits there nodding his head with that creepy smug look.
No soul. F*ck him.

I get it. But the ongoing politeness of democratic leadership, in this day against a rising danger of fascism, is out of date, ineffective, boring and does not serve the people they represent

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away."

Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups.

In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

The U.S. government is days from a possible shutdown on Oct. 1.

And even short government shutdowns do lasting damage, research shows. They sap morale, drive federal workers to quit, raise costs and weaken agencies for years.
Even a brief government shutdown might hamper morale, raise costs and reduce long-term efficiency in the federal workforce
A study of the 2013 shutdown that lasted 16 days revealed long-term negative effects on federal workers and led to weakened government performance.

Republicans have the house, senate, and presidency, yet many in maga are still convinced they are the victims.

You’re only a victim of being mislead to believe Trump cares about anything but himself

Let this sink in: A president can apparently now order lethal force outside of congressionally declared wars, in international waters, without oversight, and face no personal criminal or civil liability—even if the action was blatantly illegal.
