"But the energy cuts also appear to have done collateral damage to projects championed by House Republicans in competitive districts in blue states from New York to California — the kind of seats that built the G.O.P. majority, and whose loss could wipe it out.

Mike Johnson out here proving you don’t need height to look small on national television.
Every time Brennan asked him a question, he responded like a Magic 8 Ball stuck on “Ask Again Later.”
And Thune threatening Democrats to “open the government or else” is rich coming from a party that can’t even open a jar of bipartisanship without crying socialism.
It’s less “Meet the Press” and more “The Liars’ Lounge.”
Johnson REALLY does NOT WANT to swear in Adelita Grijalva.
'course, this is what's going to happen to the midterm elections too. He'll instantly swear in every Republican winner, and for every Democratic winner he'll claim "Significant allegations of fraud" and just put off seating any of them for as long as he can.
Why not? It worked just fine for Mitch "Spit" McConnell and Merrick Garland. And now the Supreme Court will pop off a shadow docket opinion (6-3, of course) saying "Oh, that's fine, as you were, until we get around to actually hearing their cases, which is going to be more than two years hence, and so moot by then. So there."
I don't trust the FBI to investigate the case. I hope her husband, after breaking multiple bones in escaping the fire and getting his family out, including grandkids, is going to be OK.
It’s almost like the Repukes intentionally want to break and destroy government but not get blamed for all the pain and destruction they cause. SO WEIRD!?!?
RADDATZ: Aren't you a little worried that they're going to blame you for that because they need Democrats? Yes, those could affect your constituents.
BOOKER: I don't care about the blame game. I care about Americans losing their health insurance, rates of death going up, hospitals being crushed, medical services ending in places in rural America.
This is a tsunami of Donald Trump's creation -- the pain, the hurt, the fear that's going to rise amongst millions of Americans who are going to lose health insurance.
Dear God, just come to the table and do something to help Americans. This is truly for many Americans existential.
We're getting calls from Republicans in my state who are part of hospital boards saying what is coming is create -- and it's not coming in January. People will start getting -- literally getting their notes about their healthcare premiums going up in a matter of days.
We need to deal with the crisis of the American people, a crisis of Donald Trump's making.
I was explaining to the dog that although I spent more at the groceries, I think the more of it was cat and dog food than people food. Like, get a job, pup!
I know, right? I've got four: two cats and two dogs, and the dogs are big, so they eat a lot. I'm beginning to think it might be cheaper to cook for them instead of buying dog food. Even though I don't want to, I may have to get a DIY degree in pet nutrition from Internet University just to save some money each month.
October 18th should be Day ONE of a GENERAL STRIKE… not one day of protest.
Ta, MM. I'll always be grateful I don't have your job.
The Democrats ARE doing the right thing, Holy Mike.
What is Grindr waiting for? Release Little Johnson’s account history.
Even Grok admits republicans are lying.

The party is a joke 🤣
Own Goal!

Well, I'd like to see those Nice Times come to pass!

Rethugs are really into threatening people these days.

Fuck you, Catherine Cortez Masto, the end…
/FFS
I'm sort of sympathetic to Cortez Masto given her constituency and the current tourism problems. I would expect she discussed with Schumer.
Fetterman not so much.
Same for you, John Fetterman.
As long as we are "Free Balling" shit, how do we know Trump didn't murder Dr. Jane Goodall?
With those cankles?
I don't think that's what free ballin' means.
It does in my neighborhood.
We're too busy chewing the fat and spit takin'.
For that matter, how do we know that Orange didn't blow up Diane Goodstein's house in Edisto, SC?
I mean, he didn't directly, but one of his merry band of fascists did.
I don't trust the FBI to investigate the case. I hope her husband, after breaking multiple bones in escaping the fire and getting his family out, including grandkids, is going to be OK.

Why aren't they pleased in public about their ideas for small government, hmmm?
Before I read this I had to come pledge my undying devotion to Mr. Mora for using an Ash Williams gif.
Hey Mike, instead of sitting around fapping, how about you get serious about those Epstein files?
Meanwhile, Cory Booker was on "This Week" on ABC:

Booker sometimes meets the moment.
