Jays eh?

Canadian trash talking at its best. Yesterday Canadian PM Mark Carney told Trump the Toronto Blue Jays were doing well in playoffs & would be “coming down for the World Series”. &#8…

Is it just possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene, a very ambitious woman, hasn't just come down with an attack of conscience, but also is seeing ahead to a political future where a Trump association is toxic?

We can dream.

I'd ask if he's been to Powell's Books but we all know Donald is more scared of books than he is of a makeup malfunction

Asked by Jake Tapper why he wasn't calling House back into session,
Mike Johnson: "Members doing important work in their districts. Don’t know what Democrats are doing. Republicans are going around, for example, to rural hospitals & their districts & trying to help folks."
2 words. Yeah, Right.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

Yep.

And it could be worse. In parts of Chicago, white families are helping guard schools to keep ICE from grabbing black and brown kids to use as hostages against their parents!

Is the timing of James Comey's arrest yet another effort by Trump to distract from the Epstein files?

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

Asked about back pay for furloughed federal workers, Trump said "some of them don't deserve to be taken care of..."

So Donald wants to withhold back pay for workers if HE does not deem them worthy?

The term is "evil.'

"Trump says he's open to health care deal but government must reopen first."

I believe the way that this story ends if Democrats agree.

“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”

How long until it starts happening in the USA?

The FAA is delaying flights into Newark and Denver due to air traffic controller staffing shortages.
If only DOT Secretary Sean Duffy could have warned his boss about what happened during the LAST Trump shutdown.

New York state of mind.

Per NY Times, "Nearly 1/2 of 6 million adults under 35 on ACA marketplace plans expected to drop them because of higher prices — higher share than in any other age group."

56% of young men voted for Trump in 2024, 40% of young women.

GOP promises they will negotitate on healthcare if Democrats just vote to reopen the government.

If Dem do cave, there's about the same chance of Republicans negotiating in good faith as there is of Charlie Brown actually kicking that football.

Stumbling towards fall

So is anyone outside Los Angeles or Philadelphia rooting for the Dodgers or Phillies? Although if you need a team to root for and are looking for a reason -if the Toronto Blue Jays win, pretty sure…

Admittedly couldn't recognize a single Bad Bunny song but the fact that he triggers MAGA so much makes me a fan.

Can we call Trump an Epsteinphile?

Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe.bsky.social · 4d

So for those in the back, or who just watch Fox News.
During this Trump shutdown-
Hundreds of thousands of essential government workers are working without pay.
Just over a couple hundred GOP House members are being paid and not working.
