FYI - The scumbags in the GOP are trying to use legal loopholes to skip out of paying backpay to the federal employees furloughed during the shutdown.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to weasel out of paying backpay to employees forced to work without pay during the shutdown too.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

These f*cking *ssholes. Literally don’t give a damn about anyone who comes after them, it’s just about making a fast buck _right_now!_
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Trump will preemptively pardon him, because "this is all a partisan witch-hunt."
Perryman: With respect to the Homan situation, this is highly concerning. It’s, as you said, a tale as old as time. We’ve requested that information through the Freedom of Information Act, and if the government doesn’t respond, we’ll sue.

He can release the JFK files, the MLK files, the Amelia Earhart files, hell even the x-files and it only brings more attention to the one thing he categorically refuses to release, and the only thing he'll never voluntarily release. They must be bad on an epic level of bad scale.
If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."
