  1. 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.

    Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted child sex trafficker & co-conspirator of Jeffrey #Epstein, is "happier" in her new minimum-security digs:

    “I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderlands looking glass. I am much much happier here and more importantly safe.”

  3. We already know that Trump is an unrepentant rapist, sexual predator. What does it say about Bondi, Patel and their minions that they’ve desperately tried to cover up the massive rape sex trafficking ring and deny justice for the many victims.

    "I know for a fact that there is indeed much worse for people to learn about Trump and #Epstein than the already horrifying fact that there are photos of Trump with topless young girls" -Abramson

    And this is why Mike Johnson and republicans continue to perpetuate a cover up of the child rape sex trafficking ring. #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles

  4. US Congress Rep. Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva"

    Johnson and Republicans are running a pedophile protection ring at the direction of their boss djt! Release the #Epstein files. They raped and sex trafficked 1,000 girls.

  5. “Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn’t be able to buy junk food on food stamps..

    Well, I don’t think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands..

    But here we are”

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. The Republicans and #trump are purposely cutting off food assistance to millions of poor American children and their parents/guardians. The money is there and available even during a #government shutdown. They are REFUSING to release it.🤷🏿‍♀️

  9. Phang: One man has single-handedly disenfranchised 813,000 voters in the state of #Arizona, all because he wants to kiss the ass of convicted felon Donald Trump.

    Americans need to stop with this Alice in Wonderland belief about what the GoP is. The GoP & John Roberts are all in on the destruction of the Federal Constitutional Republic and they are thrill to have an authoritarian dictatorship with convicted felon Donald as nazi leader.

  10. Republicans shut down the government again, then went on a shopping spree

    Kristi Noem bought two jets for $172 million

    Donald Trump started a $300 million White House destruction project

    In the meantime air traffic control, the military and other critical workers are working, but not knowing if or when they'll get paid

    All to avoid the Epstein files

    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.
