If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

One of the most persistent myths in American politics is that Ronald Reagan was for smaller government. When he left office, there were more federal government employees than the day he was inaugurated.

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people. Anyone who says Medicaid won’t be impacted is lying.

Confirmed to be an unvaxxed child. We have to talk about the foreign influence campaigns around vaccines. Hostile intelligence agencies — and their useful idiots in the US — are convincing the “do your own research” crowd to kill their children to own the libs.

The entire crew of paid, coordinated right-wing influencers all blasted out this pre-planned lie in unison last night. Rinse, repeat. I guess they think when people don’t have tax free tips/overtime in their paychecks, they might not notice. Good luck with that after you hype it.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

You know what type of people a $5 million "Gold Card" for US citizenship will attract? Successful criminals and state-sponsored spies. Well done, Donald, after years of accusing Democrats of using immigration to bring unsavory people to the US, you prove that you were, once again, just projecting.
