Casual reminder that it's been 47 days since the House has been in session. Speaker Johnson doesn't think there's any necessary work that needs to be done.

Google has updated the Play Store page for the Mobile Identify app, saying Google has verified it is affiliated a government entity. This is the app DHS is giving to local police departments around the country to identify immigrants with just a photo of their face

I'd like to point out that the felon funded SNAP benefits during the over month long shutdown that took place in his first term. The felon now holds the record for the two longest shutdowns in history.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1h

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

i am surprised that the president saying he is going to defy court orders in order to starve americans didn‘t provide the gop a bigger last-minute boost

Black and hispanic ICE agents are literally just the modern day stereotype of Samuel Jackson's character in Django Unchained lol.

Mike Johnson has spent weeks bald faced lying. But claiming that Republicans are "delighted" today may be his biggest whopper yet.

Trump’s disbelief makes sense. He lives inside a curated bubble of opportunists who filter what he sees and hears. They tell him he’s adored because they benefit from keeping him delusional and because he can’t psychologically handle anything less than worship.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

Amazing. He's saying the quiet part out loud without even realizing it.

I know how absurd this is to say these days, but it's important to remember that officially, redistricting isn't supposed to unfairly favor one party over another.

DOJ says well we'd say that's a hoax & not a threat

Dear Mr. Johnson: When are you going to end the shutdown by swearing in Grivalja and release the Epstein files?

Why are you protecting dead pedophiles if Trump isn't in those files?

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 2h

Johnson: What happened last night was blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. No one should read too much into last night's election results. Off year elections are not indicative of what's to come. That’s what history teaches us.
