Congressional Republicans are playing the blame game in this shutdown instead of working with Democrats to end it. And who are they blaming?

Californians are getting notices from their insurers that their healthcare premiums are set to double and even triple due to the expiration of healthcare tax credits. We’re watching a trainwreck and Republican leadership is doing nothing about it. Speaker Johnson, bring back the House.

Actions speak louder than words—and Republicans REFUSE to act to keep kids fed.

A list of Republican Senators and their states who voted to cut SNAP benefits. The title reads: "In July these Republican senators voted to cut SNAP and take away food assistance from 4 million people—including 1 million children." The list is organized in two columns, showing the Senator's name and their state abbreviation (e.g., Katie Britt, AL; Tommy Tuberville, AL; Josh Hawley, MO; Ted Cruz, TX).

A two-panel graphic contrasting the words and actions of Republicans, specifically Senator Josh Hawley, regarding food assistance.

Left Panel ("What Republicans say"): Features a quote from Sen. Josh Hawley from "YESTERDAY" that reads: "We help those in need. We provide for the widow and the orphan. Love of neighbor is part of who we are. The Scripture’s injunction to 'remember the poor' is a principle Americans have lived by."

Right Panel ("What Republicans do"): Features a photo of Sen. Josh Hawley. Text reads: "JULY, 2025 Sen. Josh Hawley voted to cut SNAP by $187 billion."

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%

DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?

Q: Kaiser Family Foundation

OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

🚨 Greg here is having a rough day. Gassing protesters and journalists is an abuse of power: Tear gassing families on their way to a park for an annual Halloween celebration is beyond an abuse of power. That is child endangerment; abuse.

Everyone involved with this performative waste of resources should be permanently banned from the legal profession…and from ever taking Tylenol.

Trump on sending troops into American cities: “If I want to enact a certain act, I’m allowed to do it…And I’d be allowed to do whatever I want…And the courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I can send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.”
