Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

Senator, please call emergency meeting of Congress, make them all show up, make them vote this madness down into extinction. The nuclear option needs to NEVER be the option. Miller needs to be forcibly ousted. Find a way to make it so.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just directed the Pentagon to test nuclear weapons before meeting with China.

The US has not conducted a nuclear test since 1992 and we must not resume. This is a reckless decision that will only make us less safe and lead to a new nuclear arms race.

How does anything get passed in the House with Speaker Johnson obstructing sessions from resuming, and no one has impeached him?

The American people are without representation, yet subject to ongoing taxation.

impeach the speaker AND withhold federal taxes.

NEWS: Democrats just forced a vote to end Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration against Canada and put a stop to this asinine trade war with our neighbors to the north.

And the Senate passed it!

First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.

Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.

They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

People compare the United States' fascism today to Germany's fascism in the 1930s, but it's actually far more shameless and stupid.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office.

The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense.

The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace.

Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

BREAKING: Oregon & Portland just sued President Trump to block his order sending federal troops into the city.

The plaintiffs call the deployment “patently unlawful” and say it violates the U.S. Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act.

People seem to be forgetting that DOJ doesn’t just “get” an indictment. They have to convince a grand jury to vote to return one, something this administration has struggled with recently.

The absolute craziest thing about Jimmy Kimmel being back on the air tonight was the Democrats securing the final signature they need to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files as Democrat Adelita Grijalva won the special election in Arizona!!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.
