It's hard to care about anything else when the federal government abducts a fourth grader from your neighborhood and sends them 1,000+ miles away for no discernible reason

Ummm, what now? Make it make sense

Even President Trump agrees: the Republican shutdown is costing them votes.

Americans facing rising costs are fed up with House Republicans who haven’t shown up to work in almost seven weeks and a President who is too busy building his ballroom to notice.

Am I the only one surprised by the presumed familiarity with Carrie Underwood's catalog?
heathercherone.bsky.social Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · Oct 9
Hamilton responds, with anger in his voice, “This is no Carrie Underwood song.”

Perry then asks for more specifics about the agent who “had his beard ripped off” and the discovery of an alleged “improvised explosive device” at Broadview.

DOJ has nothing more to add.

For purposes of this Order, a crowd dispersal order is a lawful command given by a Federal Agent for all persons to leave a designated area when three or more persons are committing acts of disorderly conduct that are likely to cause substantial harm in the immediate vicinity; d.
