Wow... These 'paid' rallies are getting expensive! Sounds like there are a lot more of these scoundrels than Maga Mike thought!

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

Hey this is not a moment to stay silent.

Oct 18th - No Kings Day - is our chance to show we won't accept the militarization of our citizens, the brazen corruption of the Trump family, and the destruction of our health care.

Because it IS illegal, you dumb whore! The president does NOT have the taxpayers' permission to 'tap into' the tariff revenue like his own personal slush fund! And, I don't want to pay for WIC because Trump shut the government down to cover for his child trafficking and pedophilia!

Ah.. how do you know the average sperm count and testosterone levels of teenage boys in the US? I have a teenage boy, and I am 100% sure he has never provided a sperm or testosterone sample to any medical provider to date. I would think most healthy teenage boys haven't either?

This is where we are. No more warnings. We are in the middle now. Trump is halfway through an authoritarian takeover of the US government. For those who don't know how this works, there is a start, a middle and an end. Next up, the end. Republicans with any morals, now is the time to stand up!

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

1. We can't afford to have as many children as they did when your uncle was president. And, your party continues to make that more difficult.
2. It's fucking hard to raise a decent human in this world today. You try it, ya fuck.
3. Screw you. Women don't owe you or your fertility rates shit.

Great explainer by Reps @repstansbury.bsky.social and @repangiecraig.bsky.social 💥

❌ Trump’s $40B bailout to Argentina (with self-serving by caveats)

❌ Trump interferes with Argentina’s elections (next week)

❌ Trump’s USDA told states to hold back on SNAP/WIC benefit payouts after Nov 1st.

Just listen to Maga Mike speak vs Nancy Pelosi. I mean, it's clear, Mike has no plan and is peddling Trump corruption.

While Mike Johnson claims he doesn’t have a strategy, we know that’s a lie. His strategy: give tax breaks to billionaires and protect the predators since he won’t release the Epstein files. All while Americans suffer.
