I never thought that I would be thankful to be an 82 year old "man." I don't have to worry about getting pregnant, and I sure as hell don't have to worry about making any woman pregnant. 😉

They can't do that without admitting the government shutdown is totally their fault and being blamed for it.

Russell Vought says we need to illegally shut down the CFPB because it’s terrorizing small mom-and-pop lenders. The CFPB only regulates lenders with assets worth more than $10 billion. The amount of blatant spinning and lying in this administration is disgusting

White people are so perfect that they needed to grab people from Africa to build their America. 🙄

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

The 5 boats in the Caribbean have 0 to do with drugs. The purpose is to provoke a retaliatory strike, so Trump can have justification to go further and kill more people... By the way, the Colombian drug cartels have been using the "Pacific Corridor" ask your Coast Guard. BTW not one missile fired...

Good job Coast Guard. Interdiction takes drugs off the streets and gives us evidence to go after kingpins. That should be the strategy in the Caribbean rather than illegally bombing boats that may or may not contain drugs.

The love is pouring into Chicago. I was born and raised in Chicago and am a Chicagoan through and through. We are under attack and it's heartwarming that the world is standing with us.

This shutdown is all about money someone is making money on this shutdown...I don't know whether it is the medical insurance companies or the stock market or one of the ultra-rich donors but someone is getting paid for this. Even if it's only Mike Johnson for delaying the Epstein file release.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

What is wrong with these republicans? Ronald Reagan signed the law that provided care for any individual in the United States to walk into an emergency room and get medical care and the "government" would pay the hospital for the uninsured. The ACA was supposed to help by having more people insured.
