Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Fifteen million are about to lose health care. Premiums are set to double. Housing & child care are outrageously expensive.

Meanwhile, Trump’s priorities are demolishing the White House, bailing out Argentina & now threatening war with Venezuela.

What happened to America First?

Dear Canada,

Cut off all supply of everything to the USA.

Secure partnerships with other countries and tell Trump to politely Fuck Off.

Sincerely,
The World.

Hey, Fox: Sales of Hamburger Helper on the rise is a flashing recession indicator.

A tweet from Rep. Jason Crow reads: “Billionaires get tax breaks. Kristi Noem gets luxury jets. Trump gets a golden ballroom. You get Hamburger Helper.” It quotes a FactPost tweet summarizing a Fox News segment about the rising popularity of Hamburger Helper as consumers tighten their budgets. The image shows boxes of Hamburger Helper products and a Fox News anchor reporting on the trend.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

We’ve known for a while but this makes it official: Trump is a shit-poster.

A news headline reads: “Trump Shares AI Video of Feces-Dropping Jet on ‘No Kings’ Protesters.” The subheadline says that President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting himself as “King Trump,” piloting a jet that drops sludge resembling feces on crowds at nationwide “No Kings” rallies protesting his policies.

God doesn’t need any “saving” by the like of you, Eric.

Tweet by Aaron Rupar showing a quote from Eric Trump on “The Benny Show.” Eric Trump says: “We’re saving Christianity. We’ve saving God. We’ve saving the family unit. We’re saving this nation... You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell... We have a return to people going to church.” Below is a screenshot from the show with Benny Johnson and Eric Trump speaking side by side.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by 114% per latest estimates.

Every lie told about the shutdown is meant to cover this up.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Why would anyone visit the US right now? Both professional & "low skill" international workers are being punished. Tourists are getting black bagged. Your visa can get revoked if you've made fun of some guy who was mates with the president.

They're gonna host the OLYMPICS in these conditions??
