We are ONLY here because Republicans care more about money, power and cruelty than America.

The GOP let Drumpf into the party with no rules and bent the knee to a bully excusing every bad thing and never holding him accountable.

The next years are ALL on Republicans who sold America. 🤬🤬😪💔

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Mike Johnson accuses Democrats of "berating" a Capitol police officer. Wait until he hears what Republicans did to Capitol police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. It was much more than berating.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

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."

"No amount of appeasement of Trump will work short of turning yourself into a lapdog. So news outlets have to choose. And if you go halfway, you’re basically going to lose everyone."

On the pod, @brianbeutler.bsky.social is great on the failure of Trump appeasement:

They don’t fear violence; they fetishize it. What they fear is happiness, because happy people don’t need saviors or strongmen.

New, from me: I break down all that is happening with the shutdown.
Shutdowns are bad. But only Trump and Russ Vought are brave enough to ask: what if shutdowns aren’t painful enough? How can we use this as an opportunity to target our political enemies? 🧵
