New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid.

Who thinks that sounds good? ✋

I have absolutely no pity nor sympathy for Mitch McConnell, he’s one of the most evil corrupt beings on the planet who destroyed our Supreme Court and led this country to the disastrous train wreck we are in today.

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

@npr.org:
The GOP has the numbers to change the filibuster rule, & pass the CR with a simple majority, TODAY. The GOP changed it about a month ago to ram 48 appointments through with a simple-majority, and now they can't change it?!
This shutdown ONLY exists to protect pedophiles.

The fact that Enemy #1 has weaponized DOJ should be enough.
Sadly, the co-conspirator’s in this Coup number in multiple thousands.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
