So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.
And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.
Did I get that right?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

I just "accidentally" heard about the school shooting that took place in Colorado today.
Where's the outrage at that?

I don't condone gun violence, but he did... Just saying.
And "they" will still be against gun control.
Nothing will change.
