��🚨🚨BREAKING: A bipartisan bill was introduced that would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down.
The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would withhold lawmakers' pay for the duration of a debt limit breach or lapse in federal funding, an attempt to motivate legislators to prevent either situation.
The bill comes amid growing fears that Republicans will not agree to meet the June 1 deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the debt limit and risk a catastrophic default on U.S. obligations.
“Lawmakers should not be rewarded with our salaries until we do our jobs," Spanberger said.
What are your thoughts? Should it pass?
Kalief Browder was FALSELY accused of stealing a backpack. He spent three years in Rikers Island, one of the worst prisons in the world, awaiting trial, mostly in solitary confinement.
He committed suicide.
Donald Trump has 78 federal and state criminal charges. He goes home every night.
He’s running for president.

Armed with 2 guns, 400 rounds and a machete, Taylor Taranto, who had an open warrant for his arrest related to J6, went to Barack Obama’s house after he saw a Truth Social post from trump containing Obama’s address.
In another Truth Social rant, trump called for “deranged” Jack Smith to be "put out to rest” and said “Republicans must get tough”.
trump posted images showing him holding a baseball bat next to DA Alvin Bragg’s head — as he called him an “animal” and threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged.
The evidence of trump-inspired violence and death threats against his perceived political enemies is “clear and convincing”. So why is he being allowed to continue unabated?
If we can’t protect the community he threatens from physical harm, if we cannot assure the integrity of the judicial process, there is a legal mechanism to mitigate the danger.
Pre-trial detention.
Donald trump’s freedom is not more important than the lives of Barack Obama, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg or anyone else he considers his enemy.
If they can’t shut it down they need to lock him up.
