Why isn't anyone saying this out loud?

After the CR passed in March—with Dem votes—the GOP flat-out refused to negotiate on ACA subsidies. Six months of silence. Now they blame Democrats for the shutdown? That’s not leadership—it’s hostage politics. #Shutdown #GOP #ACA

Comey was just indicted for lying to Congress Here’s the thing we’ve had recent appointees from the Supreme Court to the Cabinet who sat in front of Congress raised their right hand and lied through their teeth Everyone knew it they knew it, and yet nothing happened

Hey Judges Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 11 governs sanctions for attorneys (and parties) who file frivolous claims, motions, or pleadings in federal court. Stop the insanity. Control the President, you have the power

Hey Ted Cruz,

I get you what to dial down the violent rhetoric. But how about starting with the President, his Cabinet members and other Republican legislators? The left is not the only perpetrator. As the old blues song says "Before you accuse me take a look at yourself"

Does anyone really doubt Trump’s prediction that within a year the Bureau of Labor Statistics will report ‘hundreds of thousands of new jobs’? And probably many great revisions to the current numbers. When you control the numbers, you can make them say anything you want.

Facts don’t care about politics. Violent crime data shows where resources are needed The numbers don’t lie, even if you do. S let’s be real, using the National Guard is to seize control, for your own corrupt interests, not about protecting communities. “Instant Karma’s gonna get you”

Who are the Judges who singed the search warrants re John Bolton? Do we know? Shouldn't we

Just another old guy @rshindel.bsky.social · Aug 24

It time to ask every governor to reactivate their states defense force and ask the guardsmen to resign from the National Guard BEFORE Trump federalizes them, then join their state's defense force. it is the only way to stop Trumps takeover of the cities

Re: the John Bolton search

The raid warrant? Not signed by a judge — or at least, we’ll never know. Because they slapped “national security” on the warrant, the judge’s name can be conveniently redacted.
Does anyone really think this crew wouldn’t fake it if it got them what they wanted?

Hey #MorningJoe listening to your conversation about crime and the Dem's position. YOU GUYS (AND WOMEN) are morons. More cops by themselves only put a brandade on the problem. That's the Republicans playbook, performance without real solutions. Geez Let's promote real solutions!

Hey Donald,

Want to end the war in Ukraine? Simple — just do a land swap. Hand Alaska back to the Russians! After all, you’ve always been a big fan of “making deals.”

(Spoiler: Not every deal is a good deal.)

🚨 Once again, Trump ignores the Constitution.
On Thursday, the former president announced that he had instructed his department to work on a new census that excludes undocumented immigrants.

An accused war criminal just nominated a convicted felon for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Netanyahu faces ICC charges for starving the population of Gaza. Trump is a felon.

History won’t know whether to file this under tragedy or comedy.

No more national stays by district courts.
Does anyone really think Republicans won’t test new voter suppression laws? Poll taxes Literacy tests in the name of integrity for swing & blue states while lawsuits crawl through the courts. Chaos is power.

Re today’s Supreme Court decisions:

IIf a woman gets a legal abortion, then visits a ban state, can they arrest her?

Can I opt my kid out of prayer + Bible time in school too?

They say you can’t trust the Trump administration’s intelligence on the Iran strike. That’s a double entendre—because they don’t understand intelligence in any sense of the word.

I am watching the Orange King’s NATO presser. as the poster boy for Ivy League grads, God help us all. What an embarrassment—rambling, hostile, clueless.

He loves to call people stupid, but as the old blues song says:
“Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.”
