The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Everyone needs to see these numbers. Everyone needs to cause an uproar. This is not acceptable! Do you have an extra $13k, $16k, $25k just sitting around for no other reason than to give it to a billionaire?? #ACA #TrumpShutdown #Billionaire #Greed #Healthcare

The #TangerineTyrant is big mad about this picture. He's upset at seeing himself from that angle. He's also continued to do anything and everything to distract from the #EpsteinFiles. The #GovernmentShutdown continues because #MikeJohnson doesn't want to swear in #AdelitaGrijalva. #ReleaseTheFiles!!

Recently, my employer wanted me to walk the fuck away from my education so that I could train my own manager & other management how to be my boss and how insurance works. Besides being incredibly insulted by that, I stood my ground and promptly submitted my resignation. Below is part of my letter.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

The #trumpshutdown and the attempts by MAGA to reframe this as anything else is their desperate attempt to pull the wool over your eyes. Do NOT fall for it! #Premiums are already more than we can afford. Now imagine them tripled or quadrupled... this isn't speculative. You WILL be affected. Period.
