Harm reductionist. Liberal with progressive leanings. Here bc my rural VA neighbors are in a cult. Strange days when you get radicalized by empathy. Gentle reminder - the lesser of 2 evils, hurts less people. 🫶🏼

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.
IMO when a progressive loses a primary to a centrist and then that centrist loses the general to a republican, the dem party goes more right to attract voters. Non-voters are the reason the left has gone more right & the right can be as big of fascists as they want bc they suffer no consequences.
Non Voter - I don't understand why the Democratic Party keeps going more right simply because the people that vote keep voting for Centrists in the primary and then Republicans in the general.
So they are getting each other's attention with a Nazi salute & then moving into different hand signals?!? For sure, that clears everything up. 🤨

Banana republic shit.
Breaking news: The DOJ placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed a document in court that referred to the Jan. 6. attack on the U.S. Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” two people familiar with the matter said.
Two U.S. prosecutors suspended after describing Jan. 6 attack as ‘mob’
The suspensions come in the case of a 2021 Capitol rioter who faces sentencing for unrelated weapons charges.

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.
Would have played out better with the public had they just tossed the rules out the window - BUT considering who had SCOTUS bending over backwards was necessary to avoid the case being tossed. Can't believe judge appointments aren't enough to get ppl to vote for a Dem POTUS for the rest of all time.
Republicans have a wand - it's called nuking the filibuster. If they don't want to negotiate to open the government they should use their "magic wand" and let people go back to work.
I'm so mad I'd never stay home. Staying home is what got us into this mess. It's also at the heart of the reason Dems keep tacking right.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?
I remember watching these young girls on the Daily Show say we hate Trump, my body my choice & then go on to laugh when they were asked if they were voting. There's only one way to stop the candidate you "hate" from getting elected, hope we've finally learned that.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

It shouldn’t take him getting sued to ensure tens of millions don’t go hungry in the richest nation on Earth.
Just trying to figure out a way to get a bigot to use their brain for a second. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Jack Smith wants transparency. Fixed your text overlay for you.
I feel like Democrats when asked about trans people in bathrooms should hold up a picture of Laverne Cox (with her permission of course) and say this is a trans woman. I would fear for her safety if I forced her to use a man's restroom, wouldn't you?!?

Enjoy your lunch today, Senate Republicans.

It must really work up an appetite denying food programs for millions of Americans across the country.
Lol. He helped usher in MAGA - maybe try not to do the SAME thing to the Democratic Party. Most of the people he is talking about have no idea what Democratic policies or Progressive policies even are. They get scared with buzz words and don't bother to just read their platforms.
Can't believe Trump got 2 Time Magazine covers for a ceasefire "deal" that started falling apart the day after the hostages were back.
Fool me Once - Trump hands "healthcare plan binder" to 60 Minutes

Fool me Twice - Pam Bondi & Republicans wave around Epstein Files binder & promise a client list.

Fool me Thrice - Mike Johnson waves around a stack of papers claiming to be a GOP healthcare plan.

Come on voters, wake up already.
