Democracy is a team sport. Suit up with me. MAGA=hate cult. Gen fucking X. If loving elite experts is wrong, I don't want to be right. Any questionable language is religious expression & a peaceful & patriotic way to illuminate satanic evil of MAGA & GOP.

Your daily reminder of what is going on:

If the only people you want to keep happy and with you are the armed people, this is how you'd do it.

Scoop: Trump & Patel are expected to announce they'll reallocate money to pay FBI agents.

Except they're doing that without congressional authorization.

And it does nothing to help investigators who need cash to pay informants, translators, lab techs...

The FBI Can’t Pay Its Informants During the Government Shutdown

“It’s no secret, locals work with us because we have money to pay sources,” one source told NOTUS.

This is exactly why Dems can't just sign off on the CR - our taxes are just a piggybank for trump to spend as he pleases. We can not fund that.

Mike Johnson devotes more energy to helping Trump get a Nobel Prize than he does to making sure Americans have enough to eat and can get healthcare.
What are we doing here folks?

Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."

Adelita Grijalva should just show up to one of these smarm conferences with a bible in hand and say, "Why not now?"

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

My white male housemate in college had transferred in. Said he didn't get in as a freshman because they accepted a black girl from his school instead. 35+ years later he lives in LA and Palm Beach and still complains about it.

How do we know they're ICE? They could be gangsters shaking down the business owner. They could be Proud Boys living out their dreams. They could be human traffickers selling people into slavery. Why are we letting this happen?

We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.

This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away.

What do we think happened here to cause such a militant reaction? Murder? Rape? Hostages being held?
I'm betting absolutely fucking nothing.

I think Kirk was in Pa. just once in his life. Why should the state honor him over, say, a real Pennsylvanian?

“Keisha and Sean became determined to fill this resource gap. They’re among a growing group of Black parents who are building a support network.”

No one was helping Black transgender youth. So these parents stepped in.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

Here, the President of the United States says publicly that people on the left in America have “the devil’s ideology.” The devil’s ideology.

I don’t want to hear anyone on the right whine & complain anymore about “divisive/dangerous” language coming from the left. Not when you worship this guy. Ok?
