I know this is small potatoes compared to all the people not getting paid, but we have a trip to New Mexico planned starting October 7th and most of the trip is visiting National Parks (Carlsbad, White Sands, Bandolier, El Malpais). This is our first really big trip since COVID (which cancelled our Disney trip...and our rescheduled Disney trip so it never happened). If we have to cancel this trip due to the government shutting down....I'm going to be so mad. (And DD is going to be so disappointed.) OMG. I will be keeping everything crossed for you!!

geekygirly, I think I read the last shutdown that some of the national parks were able to stay open to reserve funding... so maybe there is a little hope! Everything crossed!

@mrsweasely I had to look closely at that person’s Facebook picture to make sure it wasn’t my childhood bff 😂. She lives in your district and has gone off the deep end in the last 4 years. It’s not her, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone she knows! Keep fighting the fight, that district needs you. Oh no 😬! This lady filed a complaint to remove library books in the district a few months ago and has been consistently trying to burn shit down after not getting her way. My opponents are 2 old men that have done literally nothing so far besides put up a few signs. They're both retired educators and I think are both also against book bans, so regardless of who wins she's not going to get her way. I just need money for fliers and signs so I can get myself out there without paying solely out of pocket! Do you have a campaign donation page or account you could share with us? I'm sure we'd all be happy to help!

That sounds like a dream trip to me. We're huge NP people. H and I did Carlsbad waaayyyyy back when we were still just dating. It's so cool. I'm crossing everything you get to still go. Want me to go throw tomatoes at McCarthy? That guy is such a fucktwat.

I might have just emailed Gov. Grisham to ask her to consider doing the same... (And tomatoes are definitely warranted)

Yes, sometimes things get multi-year funding, 🤞🤞🤞 you can visit all the parks on your list! MH's office "might" be on 2 year money, but his boss hasn't updated him any further than "might" 🙃 Hopefully his tuition is already paid this semester 😬 There was a government shut down when he was working on his Masters too and we had to scramble to pay a semester ourselves at the last second

LOL Politico
'House Republicans formally kick off their Biden impeachment inquiry at 10 a.m. in the Oversight Committee’s Rayburn hearing room. If you’re expecting breathless new revelations, don’t bet on it: The GOP’s witnesses — forensic accountant, a former DOJ tax official and a constitutional law professor — do not have firsthand knowledge of the Biden family’s financial dealings at issue in the panel’s investigation. Rather, they appear poised to interpret the facts that Chair JAMES COMER (R-Ky.) has already released. '

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.
This IRS whistle-blower just testified that the guy running the investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes complained up the chain of command of obstruction against the investigation in June of 2020.
Remind me: who was President in 2020?

So Comer is just yelling at every Democrat who makes a point of order and refuses. Meanwhile he took time away from Uncle Gerry because Dan Goldman was attempting to introduce a point of order, but when he tried again, Comer restored Byron Donalds' full five minutes. They aren't even trying to be remotely fair.

This account is apparently part of the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign. Must be a gen Z social media person running it, they are on fire.
