Not pleading. Just pointing out that they refuse to do their jobs.

Doubled it to $40 billion, actually...

$15 billion a week. That is what the MAGA GOP shutdown is costing taxpayers. And they won't even step up to the negotiating table to try to end it. Extending the health care tax credits would cost about $30 billion per year. They continue to prove they are incapable and unfit to govern.

He was President during the 2020 election, so if the DOJ did any "rigging," it would have been on HIS watch... Such a ridiculous fool.

Just like with Charlie Kirk, the context doesn't make the quote any less damning...

Netanyahu is a war criminal who must be held accountable for the ongoing genocide being perpetrated at his direction.

Corporate media continues to be a tool of a fascist regime

I guess maybe they paid attention in history class even if their followers didn’t…

A billboard that reads “They’re giving all this money to Argentina so they have a safe place to go when the international trials start”

While I absolutely think they made the wrong choice here, the more interesting part of the story is that the Senate is still working during the shutdown while MAGA Mike is claiming the House can't until the shutdown ends. Another devious lie from a supposedly 'devout Christian.’

In time? Sliding backward in terms of the economy and international reputation? Indeed.

Stop pretending y’all care about veterans. The Republican votes against them are a matter of public record.

I found some wasteful spending to flag…

NEW: More than a third of the recruits at ICE's training academy are failing the personal-fitness test, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports.

“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told Miroff.

I think he owes us an explanation for his time spent with Epstein…

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

This. This is why no one takes you seriously. Just embarrassing on all levels.

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

ICE is not law enforcement. ICE is a lawless, terrorist force. Law enforcement officers are required to identify themselves and have probable cause before they detain people. We see through your blatant racism and disregard for the Constitution.

But there’s millions to pay for golf outings? Please. Stop the lies.

Do you have 15-year old interns running these accounts? 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

This is a violation of the Hatch Act, but considering this administration is by far the most lawless in American history, I doubt you care about that…

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

Do you also have the receipts for the two private jets taxpayers had to pay for at ICE Barbie’s request? Sickening.

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

By impeaching and removing Donald Trump and prosecuting everyone in his cabinet who has been breaking the law for months. Accountability!

CJ @crtsj.bsky.social · 5d

Still on that lie? You know the majority of Americans see right through it, right?

There is no Department of War in the United States of America. You look like bigger fools by the day.

You think your lies are working. They’re not.
