Why is it that the livelihoods of federal workers or the healthcare of millions of people always end up on the chopping block, but never the trillions in tax cuts handed out to billionaires and massive corporations?
Trump warns that 'a lot' of federal workers could be laid off in a government shutdown looming at midnight Sept. 30.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office.
The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense.
The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace.
Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

Trump: I am a very aesthetic person. I don't like some of the ships you are doing aesthetically. They say it is stealth. That's not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you are stealth.

These Senators voted against our interests to avoid a shutdown in March
Let your Senators know you expect them to WORK FOR US, not the lobbyists, & hold the line
It’s inevitable, F47 will cut jobs regardless. At least they’ll be able to afford healthcare

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.
