  1. @milo The TSA are underpaid, often maligned, and the frontline civil servants protecting us from terrorism. TSA officers like my husband and his colleagues ought to get paid. This shouldn’t be a question. Hardworking Americans are watching their lives go down the drain because the GOP refuses common sense funding bills. Meanwhile, the ICE Gestapo get paid and rampage on.

  2. So ICE kidnappings are continuing, but air travel is a disaster with TSA not being paid, and services (that people paid for) of TSAPre and Global Entry suspended.

    Seems like the #GOPShutdown is a roaring success.

  3. This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force base in LasVegas.

    Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

  4. -whew- when I originally planned my Boston trip, I would have been flying back today. Glad I came back earlier.

    But I'd be happy if ALL the air traffic controllers called in sick and air travel shut down completely. That's what should actually happen. This farce is ridiculous.

  5. This is going to hit shipping/cargo, because among those 40 "high-volume markets" are:

    Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG) - Amazon Air Hub and DHL North/South America hub

    Louisville (SDF) - UPS Worldport

    Memphis (MEM) - FedEx World Hub

    Thanks, Republicans! #GOPShutdown

  6. Today I'm reminded of a particular Old Testament verse, specifically Isaiah 3:15: "'What do you mean by beating my people in pieces, and grinding the faces of the poor?' declares the Lord God of Hosts."

    Seems like "Grindr Mike's" new nickname has multiple meanings, and all of them are applicable. #SNAP #Congress #GOPShutdown #GrindrMike

  7. Too bad the chickens that have come home to roost can’t be eaten. This is what happens when you vote for cruelty thinking it will only hurt someone else. #SNAP #FAFO #HungerCrisis #GOPShutdown #CrueltyIsThePoint #PovertyPolitics #VoteWisely #Resist

  8. #Trump (while holding #SNAP funds behind his back): "Gee, look what the #Democrats are doing to you! Wouldn't you rather have HIGHER #insurance costs?"

  9. 26% increase in #insurance premiums, and I'm just one person - the increase would be devastating if I had to cover other members of my family. They're holding #SNAP and #WIC hostage so they can increase your insurance premiums so they can line their pockets.

  10. Hey Mikey. I've got questions.

    If the House is too non-essential to convene during a shutdown, why exactly are your salaries considered essential enough to keep flowing?

    Which part of being a "co-equal branch of government" suggests you get to clock out when things get difficult?

    Is the plan to resolve this via telepathy, or are you banking on thoughts and prayers doing the legislative work?

  11. Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin. Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered. 63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government. #GOPShutdown

  12. THIS IS THE WAY! Family owned pizzeria and Italian restaurant in San Jose California, Tony’s and Albas Pizza steps in to help families on SNAP with free food because as they said in their Instagram post, children should not go hungry.

    Lets go California!!!! Take care of our own here. Make sure you give these hero's business AND many local food banks need volunteers to sort and distribute

  13. When you break systems, there are widespread consequences. This is what my papa would call "cutting your nose off to spite your face". It's what I call unacceptable cruelty, bad business, and sh*tty governance. #food #hunger #nokings #snap #resist #indivisible #GOPShutdown #shutdown #Trump

  14. So no food for 40M Americans and skyrocketing healthcare costs but we all get to watch him build a $300M gold ballroom?

  15. Today's #NotSaneWashedNews

    Headline: "Millions join anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests across US"

    That *should* be the #NYTimes headline instead of this stale rehash about the GOP attack on healthcare on day 20 of the #GOPShutdown

    Oh, and my proposed headline - actually taken directly from #BBCNews where it is the 3rd story of the day.

  16. USAA has activated a no interest loan program for federal employees affected by the #GOPShutdown. To see if you qualify, please visit USAA.

  17. @PaulHammond51
    So about 550 personnel will be let go. That is soo sad. Stop the #Shutdown. Open the government.

    Shutdown Update; Senate Votes, Oct. 10, 2025 · by Amy West

    Shutdown Update

    Still going. 

    The Senate voted for a seventh time on the two competing continuing resolutions in front of it to allocate funds to federal agencies (one Democratic, one Republican) and both failed again to reach the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. It’s possible that Republicans are beginning to soften their positions. On X, Igor Bobic posted about Democrats’ ask to extend expiring health care subsidies:

    “[Sen.] Tillis says a deal on ACA subsidies wouldn’t be hard once government is funded, with mix of retiring senators & those up for reelection. “You’re telling me you can’t find eight people that could walk the plank?” “As a veteran plank-walker, it’s not near as bad as it seems””

    One might reasonably ask why not walk the plank now in order to end the shutdown? However, if Senate Republicans have been asked this kind of question, no one has publicly recorded their responses.

    (By the way, in a previous post we incorrectly wrote that these subsidies would affect low-income Americans. But that was wrong: It would affect middle class Americans who get health care through the ACA marketplace exchanges.)

    The House remains in recess. Many House Democrats are in D.C. anyway to make a messaging point and to push Speaker Johnson on why Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva hasn’t been sworn in yet. Earlier this year, Republican representatives-elect Patronis (FL-1) and Fine (FL-6) were sworn in immediately after election while the House was in recess. Why won’t Johnson swear her in? Punchbowl takes a stab at answering the question. Maybe it’s not about Epstein files; maybe Johnson is just really committed to this stop-work action he’s making the House take during the shutdown. A few Republican House members are expressing dissatisfaction with Johnson’s strategy.
