Hooo….hummm. Let’s get back to bashing Biden’s brains in one bad debate & open another investigation into Hillary’s emails. The devolving GQP, which worships a genocidal madman, gets far more play out of lies, grifting, and treachery, than the rest of us trying to get truth off the ground.

Republicans don't believe in government and have always had the goal of deconstructing the administrative state, which is why their attempts at governing have been failures. The government shutdown is accomplishing what they were trying to do while the government was open so they couldn't care less.

It further appears that our Intelligence Services performed horribly in the run-up to Trump’s installation. Whether through corruption or incompetence, the taxpayers deserve an answer. @schiff.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @pelosi.house.gov @crockett.house.gov @juliuskim.bsky.social

As courts held repeatedly when President Nixon tried to withhold funds from programs with which he disagreed, the executive branch has no authority to impound funds.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.
“Questions?” You’ve to be kidding! This is facially outrageous.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

Trump is an evil psychotic prick !
He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

Yeah. One more thing: hope many folks can this genocidal madman bamboozle or force to sacrifice themselves for him. Oh, one more. How feckless, ineffective, disorganized can the 75% of folks in this country be?
