The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 11h

Mike Johnson's lies have become more flailing in their partisan absurdity, and I'm noticing that when he's called out on them, he's starting to lose his composure, which is the trait that has defined him. I am half-expecting him to totally lose it soon and sprout horns.

SEIU Local 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and IUOE Stationary Engineers Local 39 rallied today to call on the Solano County Administration to quit stalling at the bargaining table. We must reach a fair contract that retains qualified staff and invests in public services.

I researched and wrote this because it needed to be said. If you care about government accountability at all, I think you may be interested in reading it.

I took my oath seriously. I thought the government did too.

I was completely wrong.

I haven’t seen a single Republican show any concern for workers going without pay, still scraping together money for childcare and transportation just to get to the office.

They just care about keeping Trump happy and blocking the Epstein files.

The US is officially playing for Team Bad Guys.

We are alienating our allies and helping our enemies.

This is more than the Trump position. As long as Republican Senators allow him to ally the US with Russia, it is their position. It's

Allowing a president to position the United States on the side of Russia invading a European democracy is their foreign policy legacy.

Maybe time to stop repeating the canard that Trump had a ‘sudden pivot’ on Ukraine…

Great scoop by

shows he’s still the same guy who admired Putin’s ‘genius’ in launching the war and welcomed Putin on a red carpet three years into it

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

George Santos isn't going to grow, he isn't going to change, and if he walks a new path it will be in designer shoes he stole from a friend.

Donald Trump is retaliating against Columbia [sic] by imposing an immediate 7,000% tariff on cocaine.

Don't worry Don, Jr.: It will be paid by Columbia [sic].

An organization of parents whose children were killed by cops. What a world we live in.

Their kids were all killed by police. Now, they’re leading a movement

“We felt that there was a need for this organization because we didn't see anywhere to go where someone could understand and could feel our pain with the loss of our children”

I’m proud to say I participated in 2 #NoKings protests in one day & am so proud of all the people who showed up on the Strip & Downtown as well as all those who honked their horns in support. If there’s a paycheck for today’s efforts, George Soros owes me two! #Indivisible #3e #50501movement

A man can wear only underwear in California at the demonstration today in LA but in Alabama you get arrested if you wear a penis suit. Unless you’re a preacher in Alabama you can waive your penis…

A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
