Maybe he’s in over his head. Doesn’t know what’s going on around him. Haven’t seen, heard, or read about many facets of this administration. Shouldn’t be Speaker of the House. Maybe that’s the real reason he’s keeping them adjourned. Afraid of a no confidence vote to oust him…

Is this true? If so, why aren’t the Democrats screaming from the rooftops? Would be a 5-alarm fire in my view.

This is one reason Democrats are holding out.

Wealthy billionaires are taking this opportunity to "donate" pay to essential workers & prolong this shutdown. Can't afford to pay more in taxes, but will happily pay huge donations as long as the government does what they tell them to do with the funds. Oligarchs usurping Congress role in all this.

2/2: ... no one knows. Don't even know if he is an American or a foreign government official. It's unacceptable to accept such a "donation" under these circumstances! It's unacceptable for Billionaires to finance any portion of our government except thru taxes as the rest of do. Otherwise, we lose👇

The family doesn't even try to hide it anymore. Another middle-finger to American businesses. Unless you're family or forking over large sums of money to Trump's extortion demands, you're not going to be able to do business in Trump's Government. Obvious corruption.

Someone has to educate our low-information Trump voting base what tariffs actually do to them. More exporting countries should do the same, tell the truth about tariff impacts. Tariffs raises the price on what YOU pay, whether it's finished consumer products or raw materials. Say it over and over.

Yes they do! I'm going old school -- the CD route, and unwind from oligarch owned streaming services and to make sure artists get paid what they are due. Creating my own playlists and download to my devices like I used to do 10 years ago...

2/2: they'll argue the misunderstanding in court, and receive a hefty fine which Trump will extort from his oligarchs to pay. And We The People will have endured a loss of our history that never can be restored.

1/2: The way they "interpreted the law," they didn't need the NCPC permission to demolish part of the White House, only to build new structure. That's why they rushed the demolition along so fast. Before the Commission could come back and say No. So now the damage is done...

C. Allen @callenofgeorgia.bsky.social · 1d

It's clear these companies contributed to the Trump Ballroom monument at the White House. It's not clear they knew, condone, or supported efforts to destroy the east wing. Hope they do the right thing now that they know.

However one thing is clear, and we need to hold them accountable 👇

Only 77M Americans voted Trump and his agenda. That's only 31.8% of eligible voters. Like the Texas redistricting effort, not swearing in Grijalva is nothing more than an effort to disenfranchise Democrat voices in our Representative Democracy.

Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the WH for his grandiose ballroom even though he said he wouldn’t. A middle-finger to America demonstrating his absolute power in response to the No Kings protests perhaps? Here’s an excellent guide on how We The People can fight back against this illegal act.

2/2: table to negotiate a fair C.R. with Democratic input and extend ACA tax credits to prevent from throwing people off their insurance.

Here's an idea. How about an Act to prevent MoC's from being paid during a shutdown. Bet that would help to prevent these from occurring in the first place.

1/2: Disappointed to see my two senators voting in favor of this Act. @ossoff.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov what are you thinking?! Who gets to decide which employees are essential and who's not. And which ones should be paid. The same regime causing this shutdown? No. Force the GOP to the
