Typical of a government who gives no shits about its hard working employees.

1. Shut down the government and don’t even bother to try to work with Dems to figure out a compromise.
2. Threaten for a week to fire employees. Enjoy our trauma.
2. Fire us.
At 9 PM
On Friday of a 3 days weekend.

Thanks to @onthemedia.bsky.social for a great conversation about how the Supreme Court is facilitating a “dual state” form of authoritarianism!

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy, one of the world's foremost experts on public health, is working hard to restore the credibility of the CDC as a scientific organization committed to the scientific method
So sick & tired of MSM. What do y’all think?
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them.

Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.

Newsmax has settled with Dominion and will pay them 67 million dollars for defaming them over claims their voting machines were switching votes. Lying losers.
Only fraud going on is your sham of a network.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister.

“I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"
He fled Boko Haram and helped build an award-winning restaurant. Now he’s facing deportation.
