The Government Shutdown:
Jeffries: "If Republicans continue to refuse to extend the ACA tax credits, tens of millions of people are about to experience dramatically increased premiums … including in the state represented by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, in his own district, I believe premiums may increase by about 380%."

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything — and I guess we all are questioning that right now — the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked … they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

2025 Election:
BREAM: You don't have Trump's endorsement. What does that mean? WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: We're gonna keep working. Would I like the president's endorsement? Of course I would. He's doing really good things for America, all of the jobs he's repatriating here.

SCOTUS:
Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

The Gestapo:
VP Kamala Harris Speaks about the Gestapo:
Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Senile, Racist Felon Says, Wuuutttt?!?!
The Couchfucker Hits the Sunday Shows:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime? VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe S: It's a yes or no question V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back? VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services. (So, no, he didn't)

This is great. Normally, with U.S. press, when a Republican lies, they go, "well, we'll have to leave it there because I want to move on." In this case, however, Vance lies and Stephanopoulos is immediately, "into the trebuchet, my dude."

JD Vance says the fact that Biden and Obama haven't been prosecuted (yet) is proof that Trump's DOJ isn't targeting its opponents. Vance's soul left his body long ago. He's just a robot spewing disinformation at this point.

Craven Assholes:
Boo Fucking Hoo!:
Maria Bartiromo tries to reassure Fetterman: "You know, senator, what you just said, it's really shamefully on your colleagues. You feeling isolated — that is absolutely outrageous. You are a breath of fresh air. I know our viewers are grateful."

On Meds?
Q: Who is Mike Johnson being threatened by? I mean, if he's not bringing the House back, releasing the Epstein files … he seems scared MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think so … Do I think he's really up to the task? No.
