JFC. If they cared so much about life they wouldn’t be using healthcare coverage as a bargaining chip.

No way. Bessent is “We, we, we have a plan, I’m a farmer, you don’t understand”.
Nutlick is “everything is about to go boom! Trump is the best!’
Hassett is “I just want to say it’s all fantastic, please believe me”
Kegsbreath would just say “Bomb SCOTUS warrior ethos!”
Bondi can’t sneer in text

Please read this. It’s inhumane.😥
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Democrats had the opportunity to get money out of politics. Pelosi voted against. Says all you need to know.
It’s time for the old guard to step aside.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!
![A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:
Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ats4shmeia7i7ildqm3denmd/bafkreie3alhaaxwvbtdqtff5io2igfu3enefx2j6gqh7ja6rqu4une3etq@jpeg)

In other countries, when the government fails, they fire the politicians, not the government workers.
In the US, civil servants are forced to work without pay, while their bosses get paid for not working.

This is very very very very, very very little work for people who make more than $100,000 and have staffs of more than three people.
