So, 21 Republicans in Congress are planning on slowing things down and not doing any work in protest of Felon Trump being prosecuted.
My question is simple. How will we know the difference?

Average #ACA premiums are set to rise 30% due to #Republicans, documents show
The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.

The #Trump admin said that monitors will watch polling in 2 states, led by #Democrats, where key races or issues are on the ballot.
Voter fraud is exceedingly rare, but Trump & other #Republicans since Trump lost to Biden in 2020 continue to spread disinformation about election integrity.

The #Republicans can choose to show up for #Congress any time they like, but it turns out, when they kept saying "No one wants to work anymore," they meant themselves!
#Indiana #Republican Gov #MikeBraun called Monday for state lawmakers to return to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the state’s congressional map.
#Trump has pressured Republican governors nationwide to draw new maps so the #GOP can keep control of the #House in the #midterms. While #Republicans in #Texas, #Missouri & #NorthCarolina moved quickly to obey their #DearLeader, Indiana lawmakers have been more hesitant.

"Our Constitution was not designed to… improve lives of American people. Instead, it was designed to make it hard… to engage in #socialReform projects that might infringe on #PropertyRights.
#Democrats and #Republicans ALIKE became more interested in #wealthGeneration than in addressing an ever-widening #wealthGap."
Neither #Democracy nor the #RuleOfLaw can be built or endure in places with radically and persistently UNEQUAL distributions of wealth.

"Unless the government shutdown ends this week, which seems basically impossible, federal support for SNAP will be cut off this Saturday.
Here are four things you should know about the imminent hunger games."

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.

#Trump says he 'won't be extorted' by #Democrats seeking #healthcare for the people
The government #shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as #Republicans continue to refuse to negotiate with #Democrats. Millions of people could lose #FoodAid benefits, #health #care subsidies are set to expire & there are few real talks between the parties over how to end it.

The current skirmish in the GOP is not really about whether antisemitism is acceptable in the GOP. Rather, it’s about who you’re allowed to use antisemitism against.

As they should, #Democrats hold out for #healthcare talks as Thune says 'time is now' to reopen government
Senate Majority Leader John Thune asked Democrats on Friday to “end these weeks of misery” without offering anything in return, which is the way of democratic government: compromise.
Dems pledged to vote against reopening the government until #Trump & #Republicans negotiate with them on an extension of #health #care benefits.

yes, teenagers have agency, but this isn’t one of those moments.
