‘You don’t want to hear what I have to say so why don’t you just keep your mouth shut.’

- Hakeem Jeffries to an annoying Mike Lawler

After getting owned earlier w/ Mike Johnson by Sens Kelly and Gallego, Lawler felt a desperate need to prove his manhood by ambushing Jeffries.

It didn’t go well.

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

They fucking think it’s a video game. It’s real fucking people out there. Real Americans you’re shooting in the fucking head!!!

This assignment is specifically for really sick assholes.
Shooting people who are legally assembled on a public way, from a high perch, with pepper balls is twisted and sadistic.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

Pam Bondi’s testimony on Capitol Hill convinces me that I need to see the Epstein files even more. Release the Epstein files.

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?
