What a colossal waste of time and so damaging to our federal workforce. Spending is up under Trump. “The Department of Government Efficiency was hyped as a governmental game changer. Its doors are now closing as a pitiful failure.”

Per NY Times, “Trump approved the release of the Epstein files but there are loopholes… including a provision protecting ongoing investigations, that could mean many documents would stay under wraps.” You can be damn sure they will be taking the next 30 days to redact any mention of Trump.

According to the Guardian, our orange-faced leader took questions from reporters for the first time since Monday, and refused to rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Begs the question, how much dirt does she have. I’m guessing a lot!

Feeling like the Senate Democrats who joined the Republicans just flipped the narrative insofar as giving people the impression that the government shutdown was the Democrats fault. Most people had blamed Republicans. Everyone affected by the shutdown suffered for nothing.

Now that Mike Johnson has called the extended vacationers back from their six week paid holiday, let’s see if he’ll swear-in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), who won a special election to succeed her late father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ).

So glad I was right! People turned out to send a message and take the first steps to take back our country! Mid-terms are next! MAGA must be crushed. Everyone else needs to find some common ground and respect each other.
I’m predicting that the Democrats will sweep all races tonight. Wouldn’t that send a message.

Apparently Republicans in Congress have each received about $43,500 over the last three months for working 12 days and to do next to nothing, all while federal employees and lower income Americans can barely put food on the table. That’s the Grand Ole Party for ya. Billionaires first.

Our orange-faced leader and his cronies have or are in the process of implementing all Project 2025 goals. This is only ten things; resuming nuclear tests is another. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Don’t be fooled. The House recess and government shutdown are about one thing, that is, making sure the Epstein Files are not released. They are hiding behind the thin veil of a budget impasse. Demand your representatives get back to work!

Mike Johnson should be ashamed and shamed for refusing to reconvene the house. Clearly we need a new law prohibiting Congress from being in recess for more than 14 days. I believe it’s been six weeks!! It’s disgusting! 🤬

The top 10% of U.S. households now account for nearly half of all spending, Moody’s Analytics recently estimated. Our orange-faced leader’s biggest priority, aside from his ballroom, is making the rich richer, while screwing middle and low income Americans.
