Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

It is time for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to primary Chuck Schumer. America has had it with leadership who fails to meet the moment. We need you @aoc.bsky.social

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

How is it that Chuck Schumer, having seen Tuesdays results, determined that the message from voters was “capitulate.” Johnson’s past behavior tells us there will be no ACA vote in Dec.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

Remember when half the US lost their mind because former SOS Hillary Clinton had an email server at her house? Eight years later the same people that lashed out at that supposed injustice just hand over the US Treasury payment system to Elon Musk and are like [shrug] whatevs.

One of the truisms about France is that government services work fairly well when government employees aren’t on strike.

The same man who insisted that Pete Hegseth is more qualified than Gen. Lloyd Austin. So what’s with Ogles’ obsession with accomplished Black people?

Maybe this. Ogles is himself uneducated and incompetent. So he’s projecting. A local rptr did some digging….
