This administration is totally fine with more Americans getting cancer from water contaminants if it means corporations and their wealthy friends might keep a penny or two more. Insane.

The #EPA is now the Exploitation & Profiteering Agency.

And, surprisingly, it isn’t his lying, womanizing, or racism

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it.

No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it.

That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

The federal government was set to shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, after Senate Democrats rejected a bill that would have extended the deadline and kept agencies open through Nov. 21.

The upper chamber voted 55-45 on the Republican-led proposal Tuesday night, which needed 60 votes to pass. Only two Democrats, Sens. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) and Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), voted with the GOP for the measure, along with Angus King (I-Maine). Just one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky), joined with Democrats in opposing it. Lawmakers had already voted down a Democratic alternative that was widely expected to fail.

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism.

To those women: you didn’t.
