You’ve heard about the shutdown - but I want to tell you about what has actually been happening on the Senate floor this week. It’s important you know the real story.
Today is the last day of @KOSURadio’s fall pledge drive. You may recall they were defunded by the government. But they’re still on the air! If you are as pissed as I am, want to do your part to fight what’s happening in this country—support public radio. Donate.KOSU.org
So if we can just cancel funding/projects that have already been congressionally approved and appropriated, what's the point of negotiating?
Vance was allowed to not answer the follow up here—an important one because the president does want to target democrats—because someone else in the press corps moved on to another question. It would be very cool if the press could stand together and demand honest answers.

It’s rare to see news outlets outright challenge the false narratives coming from Congressional Republicans and the White House these days, but hats off to NYT for doing so here. By the way, “lies” takes up less space than “misleading talking points.”

The uncomplicated math of reopening the government: CR + healthcare = deal The president should be able to get this deal done easily.
I know politics is shameless but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shutdown debate that was so fundamentally premised on a lie such as this one. There have been zero demands from Democrats to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants. Just none

With cable news too focused on “which party will win the shutdown messaging competition,” & an entire party dedicated to lying through their teeth in service of the president, it takes knee high rubber boots to sift through all the bullshit and find the truth. Educate yourself.
Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
During my telephone town hall last night, a constituent asked if Members of Congress get paid during a shutdown. I told her yes they do because of the 27th Amendment, but I will have mine withheld for the duration of a shutdown in solidarity with federal workers.
It is insane to force a shutdown based on a lie, but that’s what the Speaker & the President’s pals have done here. Meanwhile, Project 2025 author Russ Vought is licking his lips. They wanted the shutdown and they wanted to blame the Democrats. Good on George for pushing back.

Hell yea Mark
Russ Vought’s project 2025 checklist will be a lot easier to work through if and when the government shuts down. And the president, who has made billions while in office at a time when most people are struggling more than usual, clearly does not care about the pain it’ll cause.

RED ALERT: Republicans are preparing to shut down the government — and then use their shutdown as an excuse to slash our earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes. Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling. Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

I went to Parris Island 39 years ago. They couldn’t curse but had no problem getting their point across. They couldn’t punch or hit you because there are plenty of ways to instill discipline and command respect - and they got it. But this loser is all about fake tough guy bs.
