Now more than ever, every vote counts

We live in a country where a leader convicted of fraud who incited an insurrection, and an ex heroin addict with no medical training at all can attack an American company like Tylenol destroying its reputation solely for political gain. The America we knew and loved does not exist any longer

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

So true. There is now a disease in our society that will not go away. The damage Republicans have caused will remain for years to come

And Congress does nothing, his followers embrace this madness. Our country will never be the same.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Trump has become an expert at using the very legal system meant to protect us against us. Republicans have negated the very checks and balances written into the constitution to prevent a corrupt self serving leader from harming the nation.

Call me old fashioned, but people who incite insurrections, send troops into American cities, open up nuclear testing, and cage human beings sending them to foreign gulags simply should not be eligible for peace prizes.

Call me woke, but I’d rather feed people and give them medical care than spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a ballroom

As millions of Americans lose food assistance in this shutdown, the president could act — but won’t. Why? Because he wants the pain. This isn’t governing. It’s moral decay.

Completely preventable. This is one of the worst aspects of this regime, the politicization of healthcare. These monsters don’t care who lives or dies.

“Food banks and pantries were already struggling after federal program cuts this year, but now they’re bracing for a tsunami of hungry people if a pause in federal food aid to low-income people kicks in this weekend as the federal government shutdown persists.”

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)
