Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Definite read on how Atlas operates globally!
The infiltration into governments and how they change it to gain more power is terrifying!

More people should be worried!

This article is a great explainer for those unfamiliar with groups like the Atlas Network and their influence in NZ politics.

"At the moment, a new bill is being worked on in New Zealand and it is very much the policy and idea of Atlas Network partner the New Zealand Initiative."

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

"Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter."

In Trump's America, good character has no value.
It's a barrier to the pursuit of absolute power.

The destruction of the East Wing is a reminder that America has violated the only check-and-balance that actually ends up mattering: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-only-c...

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

🚨🚨🚨ICE agents have criminal backgrounds including domestic violence and battery. Many have not had any background checks or fingerprints taken. Well, this is 100% consistent with what we are seeing on the streets of America.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.

Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.

This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

Jonathan Green @greenj.bsky.social · 1d

I’m getting weary of this. This government is representative of what the people of this place want. The argument is with all of us. Turning it into a constant personalised political snipe belittles the nature of the problem.

Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird
