I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.

Never forget they aren’t telling the truth when they say they care about stopping political violence.

Few acts in history have done more to incentivize political violence than the January 6th pardons. And virtually every mainstream Republican supported letting them all out.

The Trump regime is going to continue to abuse its power by sending National Guard troops into our streets.

Although the Frog Army of Portland is undoubtedly well-prepared, we highly recommend reading up on how to interact with the Guard as it is different than engaging with ICE.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

"Every tyrant tries to convince the public that support for them is all but universal and opposition is both dangerous and futile. Trump will keep saying that. But after No Kings, it will be even harder to believe than it was before." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.
Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

Just wrong at some many levels. The guard leaders should refuse. This is a misuse of military resources and tax payer money!

Sen. Ted Cruz amplified social media claims that MSNBC recycled 2017 footage, falsely saying it showed Boston’s ‘No Kings’ rally. But Oct. 18 videos from four Boston area television affiliates prove the footage is from this past weekend.

Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat: “No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told fellow Republicans in a text chain the MLK Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and said he has “a Nazi streak.”

So it's too expensive to extend health care tax credits that millions of families rely on but not too expensive to spend $200 million on private jets for Kristi Noem?

These corrupt grifters are robbing taxpayers blind.
Noem Approves Spending $200 Million to Buy Jets During Shutdown
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem authorized the Coast Guard to spend $200 million as soon as Friday on luxury jets as the government shutdown edges into its fourth week.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
