Do the math: Republicans now have government shut down over WHEN they negotiate to extend Affordable Care credits. Seems silly.

Can they give a reason? Or is it House Republican terror over the Jeffery Epstein vote that keeps them away?

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

Let's be clear: Trump is CHOOSING to fire as many people as he can get away with.

The mass firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown—and everything to do with Trump trying to break the government as much as is possible and hurt the American people as much as he can.

He’s 10 days older than I am, but I'm years younger. Here's why.

Its not a matter of doing the right thing. Its a matter of following the law. Is the speaker in violation of federal law? Sue him.

The Constitution only requires she be sworn into office, it doesn't specify by whom.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should swear her in and tell Mike to kick bricks.

You can always count on legacy media to ventilate 'both sides' of fascism.
To ensure there is 'balance' between truth and propaganda.
To pretend that they are dispassionate observers,
rather than enablers of the demise of democracy.
