Reposting this in case anyone out there honestly thinks they should have any measure of sympathy for this monster, who apart from celebrating dead schoolkids, partied at the White House while 10,000,000 Americans were kicked off food stamps during the 2025 government shutdown.

This is why I would vote to have all reps be sequestered during a shutdown. No fundraising, no fancy brunches, no visiting your mistress, no podcasting.
