So, do we all hold out in the hope that by the end of the day,

the government will be back in operation? Or do we get to find out Mike Johnson's grindr name?

What I don't understand about Mike Johnson's mealy peasy complaint that the Dems are the reason for the shutdown because they want to give federal dollars to non-documented immigrants, is that it's a falsehood that is easily overturned with the help of good media attention. Frankly, if the media corrected that one misconception, ALL of the pressure would be on the Republicans.

We the people need to respond, at the very least, to the media that asks us to send them news tips and/or to contact the newsroom. It's easy enough to google.

This time, the tip is that the reason Mike Johson gave for the shutdown is a lie, and here is the proof.

We could blow up their newsrooms with these responses.

What do you all think about us organizing and participating in this?
