4 days later and I’m still living in the afterglow. I know the tickets are 💰💰💰 but if there’s anyway you can swing it, please do. Your soul will be all the better for it.

I’m wondering, do you think the resolution is good enough to blow up into a wall mural? Or maybe just go with a tattoo?

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

I believe they’re trapped because a main section of the path collapsed. Rescuing the Sherpas should be the priority but..you know…

I’m so sorry Anna. Saying goodbye to those little bundles of fur that gave so much love, laughter, and companionship in their lifetime is such a huge heartbreak. Rest well sweet baby girl 🐈 My Simba, Tweety, and Annie will show you where the winged mice hide and the best catnip grows.

This is such a clear and concise way to understand what’s currently going on with the government shutdown and the lying excuse the GOP is using to justify it. The more we understand the better we’ll be able to pass the information on to others and that’s what we all need to be doing.

2 truths about the govt shutdown and healthcare that the GOP doesn't want you to know.

We might not be able to help out this many of our elders but if thousands of us helped out one, the burden it would ease would lighten the world. Just look in their grocery cart and you’ll know who’s struggling to survive.

Dude, it’s called LGBTQ for a reason. When you drive that bus over one of us you’re mowing down all of us.
For the record, I‘ll vote and work for whichever Democratic candidate makes it to the general but this guy’s not getting my vote in the primary.

Me too but that apology doesn’t sit well with me because I doubt she would have offered one had the public not called them all out.

I’m no wild fan of Kimmel (though I prefer him over the entire soup of late night hosts) but he definitely earned a couple points on calling the comedians out who chose a paycheck over decency. We remember you, Jamal Khashoggi 💔

Somewhere in a dark den of iniquity white wealthy men are rubbing their hands together in glee. If you don’t believe they’re celebrating the fulfillment of their long-desired plans that cause those without to have even less then you still don’t grasp the full extent of their evil.

I don’t know for sure how it continues to work but I got that information from the developers announcement so I’m hoping it’s still active and complete.

Thanks Harry. He credits her verbally at the end & in the original TT captions. I would have only posted her video except I thought she was just on IG which I’m not. As soon as I saw she was on TT, I added her. Didn’t want to delete the original post since it would affect all the shares.

Today is a day of mourning for the innocent civilians brutally attacked & massacred by a terrorist org who killed entire families because they were Jewish.
Hamas aren't martyrs or some resistance movement; they're sadists, murderers & rapists & anyone celebrating their actions should be condemned.

Do NOT believe her. Her spine evaporated to dust years ago plus she lies just as much as the rest of them but with a “concerned” face when she’s doing it.

Senator Collins says at the Capitol tonight that she’s circulating a bipartisan plan that will commit to moving to address health-care subsidies once the government is reopened… she showed reporters a folder that had a printout of what she said could be a way out of shutdown"
