An agreement is worthless if one party can just break it immediately without consequences.

Finally, a good explainer of Dems' other shutdown demand, via @citizencohn.bsky.social. It's about trying to make it harder for the Trump admin to continue unilaterally (and illegally) cutting funding for government programs substack.com/home/post/p-...

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government

It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.

I had to say until people put me on mute that NO the IDEA 2004, Section 504 and the ADA would not be repealed. Worse they would be Unaccountable & Here we are! Find YOUR Voices/Outrage! Children are being Destroyed! copaa.salsalabs.org/protectchild...

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

yup, the huge tax hike in 1986💥 - that's what this is.
Besides, Congress borrowed trillion of 💲dollars from social security fund. Those 'borrowed fund' has no record of paid back😲

#Oregon Resources:
'Reproductive healthcare '

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 11h

Oregonians have made it clear: reproductive healthcare is safeguarded in our state.

If access to mifepristone is challenged, we will take action to protect it – and we recently joined attorneys general in 19 other states in reaffirming this commitment.

RepubliKKKans don’t have a healthcare plan for Americans and never will because they only care about Number One. They will lie to your face and tell you they have dozens of plans on the drawing board, but their only concern is to keep the billionaires happy so that their campaigns are well funded.
