Ex-political appointee trying not to get caught when the Purges and Progroms start.
Its pathetic that civil servants are more willing to fight for Congressional authority and appropriation powers than the Speaker of the House of the Chairman of Appropriations. #Shame www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

MAGA controls the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches. Who shutdown the government? They did. #Shutdown #FAFO

This is why there can’t be a funding deal with the GOP. Trump will withhold the funds anyway! Unless the Mike Johnson holds Trump accountable, he can’t bargain in good faith!

Also so much for waste fraud and abuse. Republicans do you care about anything? #Shutdown

Suggestion: Democrats refuse to open the government until the Trump administration agrees to follow the law and court orders. #Shutdown #Democrats

They are forcing people into Hatch Act violations!
NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Big Ballz, a 19 yo cybersecurity nightmare, moved ALL of EVERYONE’S Social Security numbers to an unsecured server. Why should Democrats fund the identity theft of every single American? Republicans won’t stop it. Trump gave Ballz the keys to him to your identify. Shut it down. #Shutdown #ShutItDown

Democrats should be honest, and say “we agreed to a spending bill last time and then the President ignored it. Republicans rescinded our part of the bill. Why agree to a bill or law the President and Republicans don’t have to follow?”

They want to blame democrats for all of their bad behavior. Toddlers.
The air you breathe and food you eat could suffer because of the government shutdown, but apparently it won't stop construction of President Trump's gold-trimmed ballroom.
White House ballroom construction to continue through shutdown, official says

I empathize with the grief Charlie Kirk’s fans are experiencing. I feel the same loss over children killed in school shootings. I hope everyone’s desire for action can be channeled into connection, because the fear of political violence and guns in schools is universal. We are not alone in grief.

RFK Jr. claimed he only took like 3 vaccines as a kid…and kids today take up to 92. Which is a lie but, my question is can we at least have the 3 vaccines he got? Why can’t America keep the polio, measles, and smallpox (…and all the pox) vaccines?
September 4, 2025 at 8:58 PM
What I learned from RFK Jr’s insane testimony: He has NEVER filled out a school health form for any of his 6 kids. Otherwise he would know there aren’t 92 (yup he said up to 92) vaccines or even vaccine doses that kids take. Dude, the form doesn’t have that many lines!

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks

average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

Are you taking notes @washingtonpost.com? Since it looks like you need a refresher on how to do the news.
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

Alright, guys who have been waiting to fight tyranny and government overreach. They are imprisoning a state legislator in TX!
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Aren’t unmarked government/police vehicles usually black SUVs and black sedans? What’s with the grey pickup trucks in videos of immigration kidnappings? Other than Park Service, whose’s buying a pick-up truck? They are the least practical government vehicle. Can’t even make an arrest!
August 18, 2025 at 6:07 PM
This is what gets me most. Kids have to practice hiding from shooters because god forbid we enact any restrictions on guns, all so people can have guns in case of Tyranny…but here is tyranny and…crickets. Where is your hatred for government overreach now?
I’ve always been a big 2nd Amendment guy bcuz I fear government tyranny. I fear masked & armed government agents taking to our streets against the people. So how come all my fellow 2nd Amendment guys, who said they too feared government tyranny, are now happily on the side of the government tyranny?

I lived in B’more during the Freddy Grey murder and protests. The Nat’l Guard’s presence at the Harbor felt deeply unsettling…even though their work with Baltimore PD and the community to ensure safety was top notch. Street corners with soldiers just do NOT look American.
