Some interesting things in a new Quinnipiac poll: 53% of Americans would blame Trump and the GOP for a shutdown, with just 32% blaming Democrats. That kicks the legs out from under Schumer with his excuse for why he’s voting for the bill.

Know who wants Senate Democrats to vote no, risking a government shutdown? All the current and former government employees in my message groups. Know who wants Senate Democrats to vote yes? Hill people, consultants and spineless Senate Dems who've never spent a day working in the executive branch.

One additional thing this bill does: it takes away Congress's main levers to take away Trump's tariff lever.

No one ever said they were creative.

Just so you know you can email Schumer here

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

BREAKING - Trump team met with Ukraine’s top 2 opposition leaders to try to topple Zelenskyy The plan has FAILED - both opposition leaders have officially said they do NOT support calling an election to replace Zelenskyy while the war is going on

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

He is sooooo mad she earned a Ranger tab and he didn't

This man is beneath contempt.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

"stop posting about politics, toaster boy" people say as shit like this keeps happening.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭
