AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I do not want to see another budget shutdown fight again, ever. This was such a waste of resources if feds (rightfully) receive back-pay for being stressed out at work or stressed out on furlough. Contractors out of work. Democrats got nothing. Republicans got nothing. IMHO everyone lost.

In 2024, Tesla reported a profit of $7.1B but paid no corporate income tax—and it's legal. Corporations are forever telling the IRS their profits are low, even as they tell Wall Street that their profits are high.

Donald Trump has personally incited more crime in Washington DC than perhaps anyone else living. He pardoned violent criminals who attacked our Capitol and put them back in American communities. He even made a man who was filmed urging the crowd to kill DC police officers a senior adviser at DOJ.
