Pointing out the boomer generation had unique, quality access to generational wealth and security, then squandered it trying to "own the libs" is just a fact.

If there are currently risks to flying, that's a result of the party currently in complete control of the government. The party that forced a shutdown because they wanted to kick millions off healthcare, instead of passing a clean CR. The party that wants poor people dead. The Republican Party.

BRENNAN: Should Americans have safety concerns about flying at this point?

DUFFY: That's a great question. We work overtime to make sure the system is safe. But we have to be honest. Does it add more risk to the system? Sure it does. We don't want crashes.

Justice is not the same as retribution. Trump promised his base retribution. We want justice for the millions of people his actions have harmed.

Show the study, Mike. Show the study that indicates there was a plague of "able bodied young men" sitting around playing video games while collecting Medicaid.

Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

Not sure "marry" is going to last much longer. She looks like she's aged 17 years in the last 9 months.

Having a party with the theme "look how rich we are" while keeping the government shutdown because you don't want people to have healthcare, using food benefits as a threat is a testament to how on the nose evil these people are.

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

This is what it looks like when your society in gegeral invests time, money, and resources in things other than billionaires. If Americans truly believe China is an aggressor, then we need to put the work in to have a population that can actually compete.

This is Mike saying in no uncertain terms he has no intention of doing his job until Democratic lawmakers allow him to push through a budget that cuts millions off their helathcare coverage. To put extra pressure on Democratic lawmakers, Trump is refusing to push out SNAP benefits.

The Trump administration is, if nothing else, so self aware of their fascism, that they have taken to moving into homes generally reserved for active duty military. The reason for doing so is simple; they're now in the most secure areas of the country. Untouchable.

It's always interesting seeing MAGA use obvious conflicts of interest like "she's making millions off her position" when it's convenient, but ignore it entirely when it's shown Trump has made billions off his position.

This is the kind of delusional behavior that cost her in 2024. I was hopeful that, now she's more separated from the Biden campaign, she would actually speak out against how his last year was handled.

The Trump administration has the ability, and legal authority to provide SNAP benefits during the shutdown. The fact that Trump is choosing to allow millions of Americans to go hungry should be justification enough for impeachment, removal from office, and arrest. Trump is chosing barbarism.

15% of the population of the State of Alabama are on SNAP benefits. In just a couple of days, all of them are being cut off. Millions more people just like them across the country are in the same situation. Alabama voted for Trump by nearly 65%. Come 2028, Alabama will not have learned its lesson.

This has been the pattern for decades. Republicans hold the government hostage to make it worse, and the Democrats eventually back down. Maybe, just this once, Democrats will force the Republicans to eat the consequences of their own actions.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Sam Brown @lazzygnome.bsky.social · 5d

To call this shameless would be criminally negligent. An oversight committee doesn't have the authority to void presidential pardons. However, if that's the standard we want to set, I really hope when Democrats take power again, they negate all of Trump's pardons.
