Trump is crippling the entire economy while giving bailouts to his foreign far-right friends. Then he is selectively giving domestic handouts to make up for the devastation–but only to his supporters while getting blue states.
You can’t run a united country this way.

So trumps health is failing, Vought and Miller are the real power and vance is doing a media blitz to try to strengthen his hold. These people aren’t negotiating in good faith to begin with. Let them own this and hope the zombie Americans wake up to what is happening. Otherwise you just rubberstamp their fascism.

More propaganda. It’s a Republican house, senate, executive, and court. They are the government. Fuck’em, if they can’t pass a spending bill it’s on them.

The Republicans have the majority in both houses of Congress, therefore *they* need to end the shutdown. The Democrats don’t have enough votes to pass anything.

The vast majority of Americans want the ACA subsidies extended.
If the Democrats fuck this, we are so fucked. HOLD. THE. FUCKING. LINE. And do exactly what Bernie and AOC are doing by focusing on impact of what GOP wants. Not just Trump Trump Trump Trump for every fucking thing coming out of Jeffries and Schumers out of touch orifice

We know why he has cancelled the votes. They have an extra yes vote to release the Trump is a child rapist files that could potentially make things thousands of times worse for them.

>“The House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government,” Johnson said.
So, Chuck Schumer is responsible for Mike Johnson sending the House home where a) Republican Reps will have to hide from their voters and b) Republican Reps will not be able to pass more performative, stupid, loathsome, or cruel legislation?
Good job, Chuck! You finally got something right!

Johnson cancels House votes next week to avoid swearing in a newly elected member.
In completely unrelated news, that member is the final signature needed to released Epstein files.
So the party in control of voting on bills is canceling the vote to blame the party not in control? Said party not in control is being told there will be no negotiations to fairly represent their constituents as best they can with what very little leverage they have? Bold strategy. Dems better not blink, GOP already owns this shutdown.

Lol they did it next week because the following week the US military will miss a paycheck. Trump knows it’s bad news for a dictator when the troops stop getting paid.

Turkino on
If the Republicans are this hellbent on forcing the Democrats to accept their “clean” bill, then you can be DAMN SURE they are NOT going to bring up the ACA extension legislation to negotiate on.
No, keep it shut down till they actually negotiate.
That’s the only leverage the dems have and at this point it SHOULD be the hill to die on.
The dems messaging simply needs to be:
“The Party in Power refuses to negotiate, they are trying to force this bill that they wrote through without any democrat input, so they are not getting our votes till they actually come to the table and negotiate.”

Those Epstein files must be really bad. At this point, I would bet money that Trump is in those files and that he is in fact a pedophile.

Johnson cancels House votes next week to avoid swearing in a newly elected member.
In completely unrelated news, that member is the final signature needed to released Epstein files.
No, he’s further delaying the swearing-in of new [Dem lawmaker Adelita Grijalva](https://apnews.com/article/arizona-congress-grijalva-butierez-1d9fe8fd6f0604f8064f67f6d8cfdca7), further delaying the forcing of a vote to release the Epstein files, which definitely contain Trump.
GOP foot-dragging as usual in the McConnell mold.
