The first black, gay, press sectary is a terrible person.

[MyDJoeYoung]

Is it just me or does she sound like she is lying?

[bensmith]

They always say it’s productive but still no budget

[mikeross]

About slashing all this administration's employees.

[mindyo]

We are already in poverty since this administration came into office.

[jamesboggs]

This press secretary is a liar.. totally useless..

[margretblair]

Push people out of poverty and those who paid in and earned. Is she really saying that about student debt? I want a refund because I paid mine 😔

[MorningStarChrist]

Don't worry government, I'm gonna default on the 1st too.
Only as strong as your weakest link.

[rodney]

Well if the Congress is aware of the Speaker of the House assured us that there will be a 72-hour review of the revised budget before voting; so if June 1, 2023 is the default date are the negotiations using that as the mile stone date?

[margretblair]

The middle out? Why not up. They need to go out. Can they just stay in. Blame game 🤬. Historical numbers of how many trillions. Default may have to happen unfortunately.

[Housemouse]

Administration cares about the law with 20 accounts to his family???

[MS-gpxg]

"Productive", ya' sure.

[cathygamble]

I am on social security disability as are thousands of others. Already been notified that my check and all who is on social security may be late (if it comes at all) because of these idiots. But it's always the other sides fault and never theirs. None of them cares about the people. But they made sure they got their raise. I'm positive that my landlord won't care either why he may be getting the rent late. They are ALL

[PonziZombieKiller]

No worries. Wall street Banksters WILL Be Rewarded!

[deborahjoycebush]

Please lady ask the people in East Palenstine Ohio???? BUT YOU WONT!

[rlilfarm]

NO solution yet...but, they are going home for the holiday. RIDICULOUS!!!!

[margretblair]

Floyd the guy that kept saying he could not breathe after accomodations for 45 minutes prior passing off a fake 20 dollar bill? Why wasn't he at work? I guess with a rap sheet like that. What a great guy. Someone I would not want anyones kids around. And God struck a lighting strick on the mural on his face. Wow get a clue

[davida.]

Remember the movie 'Carrie?'

[jaytrumpwins]

1.5 or 2 million for troops VETS and government agencies officials and workers even the ones that work in the buildings AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST NOT CHINA 🇨🇳 EVERYBODY GET OUT AND VOTE WE DESERVE JUSTICE 💯 TRILLION

[JohnDoe-bkhf]

FJB let it default, get money from azovnazis
