Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 20 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her race and Speaker Johnson’s still dragging his feet.

It’s time to swear her in.

It’s been 12 days since the government shutdown started.

Republicans still refuse to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Running scared again.

Speaker Johnson knows America is not buying his BS—people want Republicans to end their shutdown, reopen the government & prevent health insurance premiums from doubling.

Instead of trying to work on a deal, he’s canceling another week of work. Pathetic!

House Recess Extended to Oct. 19 As Government Shutdown Continues

The House clerk reads a communication from Speaker Mike Johnson designating October 14 to 19 a district work period for members, meaning that the House will be in recess except for pro forma sessions ...

- Millions of federal employees aren’t getting paid
- 15 million people about to lose their health care
- 24 million Americans could see their insurance premiums DOUBLE

Now Speaker Johnson gives House Republicans another week off work. 4 straight weeks out of DC. Unbelievable.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.

And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.

It’s been 18 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Speaker Johnson still won’t swear her in.

House Republicans just adjourned another pro forma session.

This marks the SIXTH time they’ve refused to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.
