The chump administration has gutted Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Dept of Education. This department is responsible for ensuring that 7.5M children are not discriminated against & are treated fairly within the public school system. #Pinks

Mealy-mouthed Mikey Johnson calls himself a Christian. He wouldn’t know Jesus Christ if HE walked up to Mikey, holes in HIS wrists and feet, a slash in HIS side, with blood dripping from HIS forehead with the Crown of Thorns still upon HIS head. Just like Peter, he would deny that HE was Christ.

Yes, Little Mikey Johnson was out there preaching that those of us attending these protests hate our country and are trying to destroy our democracy. He professes to be a Christian, but continues to lie, over and over and over again. He is really quite sickening.

Instead of working to reopen the government, House Republicans are taking their 4th week of vacation

@plvs2 @pvansickle.bsky.social · 3d

The Republicans are on a four week vacation so that they don’t have to negotiate with the Democrats.

They want to stop the shutdown? Tell Mikey Johnson to get back to work. Bring the Republicans back to DC. Make sense to me… how about you????

Thank you Senator Sanders for all you do for this country. If we get a trifecta again we must enact Medicare for all Americans. Canada has it and it costs a 2% increase in taxes. No copays, no deductibles, no premiums.
