The shutdown may be affecting millions of citizens but for Trump and the do nothing congress, it's a dream come true.

"A request to the White House for comment yielded an automated email saying a response could be delayed 'due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown.'"

The fact that they have yet to swear in Adelita Grijalva needs to be a huge story! If they're not going to swear in one, what do you think will happen in 2026?

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.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

That's really all the proof you need isn't it? No one goes through the pain of this whole sordid affair unless they have something awful to hide. Given all the truly horrible things we know he's done in his lifetime already, it must be bad. Career ending, regime changing, life altering bad.

I’d like to know too. Has all this insane bullshit made anyone’s life better?

Answer: NO - HELL NO.

i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question: it's been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better? have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier? has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?

He's right to worry. If hell exists, he'll probably spend it surrounded by his loved ones - Putin, Kim, Stalin and Adolf. He led a life of excess and sleaze before he entered the white house, but since being sworn into it, he's done nothing to help anyone but himself.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Yet Trump's cutting American Medicaid, Federal jobs and any program that helps the most vulnerable of us. You need to vote Democrat because the Republicans are instep with Trump's cuts on the American people.

Yet another both sides crap article. When one person says it's raining, and another says it's not, it's not the job of the media to report there's a disagreement on the weather. Their job is to investigate it and tell us the facts. They used to know this.

For those that voted for him, is this what you want to hear now as prices rise? Trump doesn't care about you.

Simple, anyone who voted for him is exempt from his crusade to wipe out crime. Besides they're probably busy getting ready to invade DC or Portland or wherever the next hotspot in the second War of the States.

Since they swept into power at the POTUS, Congress and the SCOTUS, the GOP have gone to great lengths to prove to us they truly are the assholes we always thought they were and going out of their way to show it to anyone who bothers to look.

Republicans will do anything to put more money in their pockets at the expense of people, animals, and the environment.
