Wag the dog attempt?
All of our military is being focused on Venezuela to make things easier for Putin in Ukraine.
We must claw back our money from Argentina.
We must claw back our money from Doge.
It’s time to take back our money, save our people, and return to protecting democracy here and around the world.

Can you imagine any other President using the situation room NOT to protect America or our allies, but to try to come up with another way to keep the Epstein files under wraps and cover his own ass?

Pay every federal worker, who worked without pay during the shut down, every one of them, a month's bonus pay. Some of the funding should come from the Congress, especially those engaged in privileged insider trading like this complete jackass, Markwayne Mullin, from the great state of Oklahoma.

Now the Transportation Secretary fascist Sean Duffy is threatening air traffic controllers who called in sick because they weren't being paid. The union should say, you punish one and you punish all and take a strike vote...but it won't. Gutless. Permit's it's members to work without pay? Gutless.

Today, NATCA is one of the strongest labor unions in the federal sector and represents a range of aviation safety professionals in 15 FAA bargaining units, six Department of Defense air traffic facilities, and 171 federal contract towers. The problem is it has no balls. None.

Senator Kaine says he voted “yes” for principle🙄 does his column also explain why he ALSO voted to give republicans colleagues who tried to overturn the government a $500K-per-head lawsuit bonus? Retroactive. Taxpayer-funded.

Democrats: We'll open the government and change things in the mid-term election...Me: Who is certain we will even have mid-term elections? And then even if there are elections there is the 2/3 vote necessary to overcome a presidential veto. Millions will lose health insurance. How many will die?

The spread of American and particularly Christo-fascism across our nation must be stopped or the destruction of our democracy and our very way of life will be destroyed. It is up to each and every one of us to stand up and stop this nightmare.

Today we are witnessing the results of the unrelenting class warfare the Republican Party...aka the Oligarch Party..has waged in America since Ray-gun. We have lost control of our government. A demented old man whose entire life has been devoid of any honor whatsoever is President. Hideous inequity.

Dear American soybeans farmers. Remember when Trump handed you $30 billion in a socialist hand out because of his stupid ass trade wars with China. He wanted to make sure he had your vote. But hey, he gave the fascist President of Argentina $40 billion! He loves him $10 billion more with your money!
