These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

I am honestly pissed at what Washington has become. The Republican Party’s sold out working families to billionaires & special interests. D.C. Democrats are out of touch & unwilling to confront the scale of the suffering people are enduring.

This reminds me of his pitch for Trump’s miracle cure “signature” vitamin supplements in 2009, which were available for a bargain price if you signed up for a membership with the Trump Network and submitted a urine test because they customized them to your needs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.
Not one House Democrat cracked.
Not one House Democrat caved.
I’m going to remember that.

Disingenuous headline CNN. Dems conceded to keep uncaring Republicans from starving people and trashing the economy. Technically bi-partisan, but hardly consensual. More like giving in to a rapist to save your life. Remember this at the polls next year.

Something for people to keep in mind as we come to grips with the outcome of the shutdown is that Dems are fighting an uphill fight against an enemy that would like nothing better than the collapse of the government.

I guess Mike Johnson’s latest excuse to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files is now over.
Will he come up with a new one or are we finally going to see where each House Republican stands on this?
