GOP's 'ticking time bomb' is about to detonate: senator

A Democratic senator slammed the Trump administration Tuesday for "viciously terrorizing federal employees" by using the government shutdown as an excuse to fire them and separately warned Republicans...

Right. To the contrary, they are the Party taking away healthcare for millions of Americans. If you call that fixing the system, well....

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

What's this? A new liar is on the scene. I guess the others are taking a little break. It must be exhausting keeping track of all the lies they tell.

One day they are calling Democrats weak, the next day they are calling Democrats violent haters of America.

At least make the lies make sense.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

CALIFORNIA!!!

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 11h

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I don't care who you voted for, you KNOW this has gone way too far. It's time to stand together as Americans and say NO. Do what you know is right while you still have a chance to do it.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 1d

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

WE MUST SHOW UP ON OCTOBER 18th.

We do it for ourselves, those who will come after and those who came before us. We do it for women, children, the elderly, the disabled. We do it for all marginalized people. We do it for people of color and the people being disappeared off of our streets each day.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

AND the Republicans are NOT the Party of Healthcare. They are the Party that wants to steal your healthcare so they give themselves and their billionaire buddies a permanent tax cut at YOUR expense.

AND release the Epstein files!

The lawbreakers on Capitol Hill, led by chief lawbreaker, Mike Johnson, need to swear in a duly elected member of Congress and they need to do it RIGHT NOW!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

God @thegodpodcast.com · 2d

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

I think it's safe to say that CBS News is DONZO...

southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 1d

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 1d

Excellent point! I agree completely.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 1d

Trump's America, where we just ignore the tragedies of the American people. Because really, who among that crowd, cares about the American people?

Oh, and nice job on reporting, Legacy Media. As usual, we've heard crickets from you about anything truthful that actually matters.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 1d

I think this is a fair statement.

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 2d

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

A wrongful conviction should get you citizenship 👇

After 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction

He didn't get to enjoy his freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Senator Murphy, Wild is not the adjective I would use to describe a situation where people are being hurt every day by this Administration's refusal to negotiate. I would use a different adjective altogether.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 5d

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 5d

This is unbelievable. And there's a good reason for this. They need to at least try to get the lies together.
