I do not know how Sec. Marco Rubio lives with himself. He used to be a smart and sane person.

News outlet/reporter friends: I don’t doubt flight delays and long airport security lines are real. But please, also tell stories about the thousands & thousands of federal employees who are continuing to show up and make sure a lot is going well, too! #RealHeroes

I’ve made 4 trips by air during the US #GovernmentShutdown. From SEA to LGA and at all points between, I’ve been consistently impressed by all the federal workers who keep showing up every day to make flying safe and easy. Thank you to TSA, ATC, and everyone else! I am grateful. 🙏🏻
We could pay for a lot of SNAP benefits with all those Congressional salaries….
Great essay and reminder to us all that when we start using the categories created by a demagogue, we start doing his work for him. Thanks for putting this out there, @nickallison80.bsky.social
Read this beautiful, peaceful post to honor All Saints Day. I promise, it’ll be good for your soul.

This type of stuff wouldn't be funny even if the current president were a 5th grade bully on a playground. The fact that he's the president of the US and this is the official work product of his administration is downright alarming.

“Trump and his allies seem to want to shut down speech that they don’t like to hear,” Mr. Schumer said on CNN. “That is not what democracies do. That is what autocracies do.”

Does this seem like things are better than under the previous administration? ☹️

In a world where too many people are increasingly willing to lie, cheat, steal, bully, and change the rules to stay in power, this simple story will feed your soul.

Every Democrat in and running for office should read this. So should every non-MAGA Republican.
Also, many Americans don’t realize what the Federal government does and pays for until they are in direct need of assistance. Awareness needs to be raised.

Have you read this @richpitts.bsky.social ?
While I applaud the Gov of Illinois, the fact Dems have to hide should be bigger news. The threats coming from the GOP's side should never be normalized.
When does it stop???

This is so dangerous, for the county, democracy, and the economy. Why is Congress not acting with outrage?

How much did US taxpayers just pay for Trump to open his Scotland golf course this weekend? Why aren’t we using those tax dollars to fund Medicaid, scientific research, national security and other things that benefit Americans?

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
I am not okay with this.
This is exactly why we need term limits for Supreme Court Justices in the modern era. Any person with unlimited authority for an unlimited time is like to be corrupted by power. Checks and balances appear to be lost across all gov’t branches.
