Government employees aren’t getting paid and millions of others are stressing about how they will be able to afford health insurance. Meanwhile the only concern republicans in Congress have is how they are going to spin doing all this damage.

The road construction people who stand around drinking coffee all day seem to work more than the House. Speaker(less) Mike fakes it by appearing in a suit every few hours for a presser. He actually lives in his office...so he's actually there only because he lives there. He's not working.

Why do I have to pay my employees to do fuck all nothing? In the real world you just don't get to leave and come back whenever you fucking feel like it and continue to keep your job let alone get paid. This whole government system needs to be overhauled.

Again. So infuriating. Maybe if Congress didn't get paid when they don't fucking work (like WE don't), we wouldn't have these damn government shutdowns! More accountability in Congress! And, stop insider trading!

It's about the files. What concerns me (yes, I'm turning into a conspiracy nut) is that I believe they're doing everything they can to destroy all the evidence and because the amount is so massive and runs so deep, it's taking a long time. They're trying to cover all their tracks.

I thought the same thing about Johnson, especially since he's talked about the porn monitoring app he has on his phone. And I hope the military refuses unlawful orders. Time will tell

Republicans claim to be just like "the average American" but I challenge you to find an average American who can decide to fuck off from work for three weeks in a row and not only still collect a paycheck but still have a job when it's all said and done. Doesn't sound so average to me.

Whether the MAGAs are physically present in Congress or not, doesn't really change anything. They haven't accomplished a single thing aside from theatrical nonsense. There is only one branch of govt now; President Nutjob. The MAGAs in govt obediently parrot and rubber stamp every dumb or inhumane EO

As a Constitutional check & balance, Congress members' pay should be terminated if they fail to perform their duties per their Oath of Office. The Judiciary and Executive Branches (2/3 vote-Senate & House) need to establish minimum scheduled work hours/days criteria for all members of Congress.

What civilian job allows its employees to lie constantly to its customers while cheating them out of their money without firing them for losing customers? Politicians lie constantly to their constituents & cheat them out of their money without consequences! Apathetic voters will still vote for them!

And they'd have the audacity to call those who are out of work or on public assistance deadbeats, losers, freeloaders, or loafers? They're the ones who're wasting the taxpayers' hard-earned money by refusing to do the jobs they're being paid to do. So, who are the real deadbeats?

An expected, if cowardly, option for folks who can't deal with a huge problem of their own creation, and won't deal with several other problems, also of their own creation. It's craven, but seems to have become the main plank in the GOnceP's platform.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is showing no sign of backing away from his current tactic ? of pressing Democrats to vote for a stopgap government funding bill ? It is not Thune ! That is using the current tactic ! Trump is telling Thune what to do, as well as Johnson ! Not rocket science !

I email #RepJohnMoolenaar a couple times a week asking how he's enjoying his vacation with full pay and lifetime benefits. I also ask him how he continues to support this corrupt president. Full MAGA bs in response.

Johnson needs to swear in Representative-elect Grijalva !!! How is there not a rule that must be abided by. Is there anything that holds their hooves to the fire anymore!? Our govt is a circus. No rules. No laws. It's a joke.

The fact is that they make so much more than the average American that they could go for a few months. Probably without getting a paycheck. You're absolutely right Adam. I think they should do their job and if they don't they shouldn't get paid! Thank you for your attention to this matter

2013:Under President Barack Obama for 17 days. 2018:Under President Donald Trump for three days. 2018:Under Trump for several hours. 2019:Under Trump for 35 days cost the economy about $3 billion equal to 0.02% of GDP according to the Congress Budget Office 2025: Under Trump Started on Oct. 1, 2025

And correct me if im wrong..but they get HEALTHCARE! I can't afford to go to the doctor (while working my ass off to keep bills paid and food on my table) but they get Healthcare and they aren't even doing their job!

That's pennies compared to what all of us have to pay. Without insurance, paying cash, one basic trip to the Dr is 95 bucks! And a lot of ppl don't have insurance.. It's insane to me that they get it that cheap when only working 1/4 of the time normally lol

They are threatening the guy who had it. He handed it to an attorney should anything happen to him. Love just how messed up this is. Imagine hating LGBTQ so much that you would threaten anyone with evidence that one of your leaders is secretly gay.

And they just told air traffic controllers who call in sick they won’t get paid “because of the shutdown”. But the House can shut down everyone else, walk out and fund raise for themselves without losing a cent of their paychecks, benefits, sick or vacation time

It's okay Rethugicans are doing NOTHING! I WANT DEMOCRATS OUT doing Town Halls or on TV being interviewed - getting their faces out there, letting the public know they are ON THE JOB! Voters are noticing! Federal employees aren't getting, health costs are rising & so are tariffs! So much winning!

They are. Mark Kelly and Gallegos confronted Mike Johnson. Several are speaking out against the shut down. I saw a post about MTG on the news speaking out against the shutdown but I can't say Dems aren't just because I haven't seen them.

Let's lock them out. Throw all their stuff on the steps. Lock the doors and don't let them in. Have new elections and bring in new talent. This administration is no longer working. It's only for red states. It's only for white men. It's only for a fat fascist rapist.

Remember when Biden was president, all MAGA talked about was the tRUMPSTEIN files. Apparently it’s not important anymore, wonder why. Hmmm 🤔 🤔🤔

I respect Kinzinger in the same way I respect Liz Cheney. They tried to be honorable which is a nearly impossible thing for a Republican to do in this day and age. But he should stop trying to walk a fine line. Say the other part out loud. Johnson extended leave to stop release of the Epstein files.

Do not give into these assholes we have nothing to lose at this point. This is our only voice right now and they know it play their game.

Based upon your politics you’re someone who I’d never consider an ally. But you are. I was once a Republican and I left the party. But never did I ever think it would produce this absolute fascist clown shit show. It’s so beyond stupid and insane no serious person can say it’s not certifiably crazy.

No I was hiding the fact I was gay. When I accepted it I started to question why I was a Republican. I quickly learned about empathy and that made it impossible to be a Republican.
