We the people need to rise up. Stop spending money. Stop shopping in all businesses that support the Trump administration. Maybe a national sickout day Then let’s see how quickly this shutdown ends And the pressure mounts on the GOP. Tank the stock market.(don’t worry folks, it’ll come back up)

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 13h

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?

I don’t think a convicted treasonous president can pardon his convicted minions. Just ask all the Nazis who are charged during the Nuremberg trials. None of these people are going to get a free ride. Have faith that their day of judgment before an impartial court of law is coming.

Dede @dedeexploringpnw.bsky.social · 1d

They can’t overturn a pardon. Blondi swore an oath to uphold the Constitution not to a man or a party. By defending those who trample it, she’s violating that oath & disgracing the legal profession. No lawyer should treat treachery as strategy.
The best minds will be trying find a way to indict her

I’d like to believe this is true, but my faith in our elected officials is gone. I hope you prove me wrong senator and that Congress does the right thing. So far, everything the majority has done is for self benefit and profit and not for the benefit of the American people.

It isn’t Trump’s framework, it’s been the framework all along. The demented orange Felon has nothing to do with this, except for the fact that he wants his name in the papers to distract us from RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.You also don’t win Nobel Peace prize by attacking citizens of your own country

President Trump’s framework to end the war in Gaza is the basis for talks between Israel and Hamas in Egypt.

The proposal involves the return of the hostages, disarming Hamas and an Israeli troop withdrawal, among other things.

Here’s what’s under negotiation in Gaza ceasefire talks

Trump’s framework to end the war in Gaza is the basis for talks between Israel and Hamas in Egypt, with Qatari, Turkish and the U.S. officials involved.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

He’s invading AMERICAN cities because he‘s trying to change narrative. Release the Epstein files! Once that happens, he will be removed from office & his power eviscerated. Right now he’s trying to disrupt, disturb and deflect. He wants people to violently act out so he can establish military Rule.

Asawin Suebsaeng @swin24.bsky.social · 10h

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

If Bondi works for America, she would be in jail. Oh wait, she does. She has violated her oath to protect our Constitution and broken so many laws and needs to be thrown in jail.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

Tweet from @TheDemocrats:
“Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they’ve done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.”

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
