Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Jasmine Crockett is asking why people who are not getting paid because of the shutdown should show up for work when the Republican Congress members, who ARE getting paid, are NOT showing up to work! Damn good question.

Rep. Crockett: “When Even Marjorie Taylor Greene Stops Trusting Republicans, You Know It’s Bad.”

I just bought a new computer and I’m cussing at OneDrive. It is the most annoying piece of shit I’ve ever encountered. It was relentless. I couldn’t disable it even when I followed the instructions. So, I got fed up and deleted the damn App. Co-pilot might be next, but we’ll see.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no place lecturing Californians. He left 6 billion in cuts, classrooms gutted, and kids without care. He wasn’t a hero — he was the hatchet man for the rich. Vote Yes On Prop 50

“We are going to see a lot more homelessness, a lot more mental health crisis, a lot more people going to jail instead of into housing,” said Aaron Estabrook, an Army veteran and director of the housing authority in Manhattan, Kan.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
