I do not know how Sec. Marco Rubio lives with himself. He used to be a smart and sane person.

I’ve made 4 trips by air during the US #GovernmentShutdown. From SEA to LGA and at all points between, I’ve been consistently impressed by all the federal workers who keep showing up every day to make flying safe and easy. Thank you to TSA, ATC, and everyone else! I am grateful. 🙏🏻

We could pay for a lot of SNAP benefits with all those Congressional salaries….
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.

This type of stuff wouldn't be funny even if the current president were a 5th grade bully on a playground. The fact that he's the president of the US and this is the official work product of his administration is downright alarming.

“Trump and his allies seem to want to shut down speech that they don’t like to hear,” Mr. Schumer said on CNN. “That is not what democracies do. That is what autocracies do.”

Every Democrat in and running for office should read this. So should every non-MAGA Republican.

Also, many Americans don’t realize what the Federal government does and pays for until they are in direct need of assistance. Awareness needs to be raised.

While I applaud the Gov of Illinois, the fact Dems have to hide should be bigger news. The threats coming from the GOP's side should never be normalized.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
