Congress doesn't have time to negotiate a bipartisan budget to run the government.

They do have time to investigate anything bugging their oligarch overlords.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.

It took one week to get Trump voters to go from “eggs need to be cheaper” to “let seniors starve”.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Apparently, for Republicans…

Sexual abuse is ok.
Statutory rape is ok.
Sex trafficking is ok.

But don’t you dare try to forgive college loan debt.

Now THAT’S a red line.

You don't have "sexual relations" with an underage girl. There's a specific word for that. Four letters, starts with R.

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.

How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?

How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?
