Congress has given them the freedom to behave this way, it could end whenever the Republicans want it to. But they want this degradation

Republicans cheer and engineer shutdowns because shutdowns erode people's faith in government, and that benefits the corporations and billionaires who want to push government of the way, so they can amass more power and wealth.

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.

Nothing to be sorry about. Honestly, I wish I can go back in time to when I had no idea who any of these people were.

Eric Swalwell is a Democratic congressman from Calif. He's one of the good ones and he doesn't make up stuff. He's a straight shooter.

Eric Swalwell isn't into hyperbole, so this gives me a bit of hope.

The Nobel Prizes, 5 of 6 having so far gone to US based scientists, are a reminder of why we must stand up for science against this horrid administration. Here are some great Scientist Activists to follow.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

She also knows what's in the Epstein files & the vile things Trump has (allegedly) done to those underage girls. She's always gone after pedophiles & she no longer worships Trump. That is very telling.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

All the Dems should have just walked out. She wasn't going to be transparent. This just gave her a platform to regurgitate the Trump/Miller policies & a chance to be a disrespectful, smug smart-aleck.

littledoodle.bsky.social @littledoodle.bsky.social · 1d

Instead of asking her questions, they each should just spend their time going through all the crimes she's covering up. Don't even give her a chance to speak. She's not going to cooperate anyway. The Dems should use their time wisely.

Congressional Republicans shut down the federal government - their third time under Donald Trump’s control.

Here’s what that means for you.
