"Three-quarters of the way through 2025 (more than 300 days), the People’s House has met for a mere 87 days.
Let that number sink in. While Americans work, pay their mortgages, and ferry their kids to school, the 119th Congress—or at least the House of Representatives—is on track to be the most truant in modern history."
~ Jeff Nesbit

"This shutdown isn’t an accident; it’s a weapon. Federal workers are furloughed, contractors are unpaid, and community clinics are collapsing. The Trump administration calls it 'fiscal discipline.' I call it cruelty with a spreadsheet."
~ Michael Cohen

"They are perfectly comfortable allowing our children to go hungry and punish undocumented workers as long as the gestapo thugs at ICE keep getting funded. These are the priorities of the Republican Party. Let’s not pretend both sides are the same."

"The government shutdown that’s been engineered by the Republican Party at the behest of Donald is wreaking havoc across federal agencies. I think that is exactly as intended, and the damage being done could be long lasting and possibly permanent. That, also, is exactly as intended."

"The government is shut down.
Millions are going to go hungry and lose their health care.
But Donald Trump is holding weekly meetings to discuss...his golden ballroom."
~ Adam Schiff
As Schiff notes, Trump's press person Karoline Leavitt has said the golden ballroom is his number 1 priority.

"To be clear, this is not simply a consequence of the shutdown. It’s a specific decision made by the Trump administration to exert political leverage. To Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans, forcing poor children to go hungry is preferable to negotiating with Democrats over lowering health care costs for millions of Americans."

Nearly 42 million people are set to lose food aid due to the second-longest U.S. government shutdown, in a weekslong stalemate and after the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided not to use emergency funds for benefits. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/30/world/politics/food-aid-us-government-shutdown/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #food #poverty #us #donaldtrump #republicans
The U.S. Justice Department put two prosecutors on leave hours after they called President Donald Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, "a mob of rioters" in a sentencing memo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/30/world/politics/us-prosecutors-january-6-defendants/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #washington
"While women are being forced out of the workforce, children are going hungry, and people are being rounded up by ICE in warrantless raids, white male pain continues to be a Page 1 story. Farmers and ranchers make up less than 2 percent of the total population in America, but they dominate our cultural and political mythology."

Yesterday, Pope Leo posted the statement below (it's from his Dilexi te) on Twitter (aka X), and MAGA went wild plastering the posting with enraged comments. Someone shared this tweet in a Reddit posting devoted to Christianity and enraged MAGA posted so many hateful comments that Reddit took the posting down.
MAGA wants to wrap the cruelty of denying food to children in Jesus. Leo begs to differ.

Noting that right-wing New York Times columnist Ross Douthat recently claimed tht Trump's coverup of the Jeffrey Epstein case file doesn’t bear hallmarks of state secrecy so much as desperation of guilty men, Brian Beutler writes,
"Douthat frequently seems both caught off guard and pained by the depravities of his coalition partners—in denial until some dark truth is revealed, at which point he acquiesces, and moves on to the next."

"What he omitted [in his commentary on Trump and the Epstein case], or hasn’t pieced together, is that the biggest, most revelatory twist in the Epstein saga is ongoing: Republicans have effectively dissolved the U.S. House of Representatives."
In other words, it's long since time that the media — New York Times leading the way — speak truth about what's going on right now.

Scoop: the #Democrats have been spewing this kind of bullshit for the last 50+ years, maybe longer. It boils down to, "Democrats need to be more like #Republicans."
