One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

More distractions & this one is an exponential distraction.
Santos will suck up as much oxygen from any news cycle he can by doing & saying whatever gets him the most attention.
George Santos was built for this moment in human history.
It would be ideal if everyone agreed to simply ignore him.

New hoods. Same hate.
They’ve spent the last half-century talking about small government.
They DO want small government.
Small enough to fit inside you marriage, your bedroom, your daughter’s uterus.
Small enough to fit on a throne.
Fuck that & fuck them.
In America we have NO KINGS.

Remind me how many career federal prosecutors have been fired or resigned in protest over disagreements with the President in the last half-century?
How many since January?
Yeah.
This is what weaponizing the DOJ *actually* looks like.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

While federal workers are missing paychecks, Congress still gets paid. It’s not right. As long as this shutdown continues, I’ll be donating my salary to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund to support the workers and families who are feeling the pain of GOP dysfunction.

The President is getting involved after in-person pleading by the VP still couldn’t get these Indiana legislators to execute Trump’s gerrymandering plan.
They’ve held off because they know it’s wrong - and because our pressure is working. So let’s keep it up!

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

A government shutdown may sound complicated, but it's not.
Democrats want to protect health care for working families.
Republicans want to slash health care. Millions would lose coverage. Millions more would pay higher prices.
That's what is at stake.
