This is the US equivalent of closing USAID. People are going to die. This is not a one party issue. In my conservative district, the judges recognize that treatment courts save lives and the government money. This is so dumb and short-sighted. And evil.

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social, last week I pulled an Angel off the tree for a twelve yr old boy who wants ”wrestling figures.” I grabbed it because it was the last one where the kid was asking for a toy. I am not a wrasslin’ aficionado. If you were a 12 yr old boy, which figures would you most want?

Another thing to add to the life lessons to teach my son: try to live your life in a manner that an angry mob doesn’t show up at the airport to tell you to kiss their ass on your way out of town.

Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty want to steal our tax dollars by using their positions to enrich themselves, and now Marsha wants to be the Governor of Tennessee? I assume so she can steal more money from Tennesseans.

Between this and Rep Roy’s take this morning, maybe it’s time for media to stop attending this lying-ass administration’s press conferences. I’m not saying don’t investigate or cover what they are doing, but if all they are going to do is lie, why help spread their lies?
