a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

“.. 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑎 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 ..” 🎶 - King George, “Hamilton” #NYC @wutangforchildren.bsky.social

BREAKING: Judge Patricia James has granted the request of the citizens of Senate District 26 to hold the special election "as soon as practicable." HUGE win for democracy in Arkansas and a win for the citizens who stood up for their constitutional right to representation.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in? JEFFRIES: We have no idea what you're talking about or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points

Demons will NEVER be able to speak on Black Liberation! 🗣🔥🎬

Nailed it

The thing people don't understand is that even if you don't think being there will change your ideals, which is debatable, it will absolutely change your perception of what's normal or acceptable

Time for my annual Get Out tweet. Feels like a lost cause at this point but anyway …

Hey GOP, this you? Y'all so full of...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has subpoenaed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and other senior DOJ officials to testify at the hearing on his mostion to dismiss the indictment for vindictive prosecution. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

NEW: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services just got an email telling furloughed workers to return to work Monday. They will be paid starting Monday, but won’t get backpay for precious furlough days until the shutdown ends.

😕

My god it’s hideous

I guess people had short memories.

“The president demolished the White House.” “The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.” “The president is why life is more expensive today.” “The president was besties with Epstein.” Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

To be fair to Stephen, it happened during the day, and everyone knows he hangs upside down then.

✔️

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Stefanik endorsed, campaigned, and fundraised for George Santos.

We sent people *who were actual MS-13 informants* El Salvador so we could use their gulag for propaganda purposes, and now actually going after gang members in America is harder than before. @jonfavs.bsky.social talks that and more with @timmiller.bsky.social in today's Bulwark Podcast:

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

The governor says the federal government shutdown is hampering food benefits to needy families in California.

This is very good

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

A huge story is which Democrat campaign consultants were in charge of vetting Platner. They raised millions from donors, large and small, got paid handsomely for it, then promptly delivered to those donors a non-viable candidate.

“The revelations come on the same day Platner is scheduled to hold a town hall in Ogunquit, a seaside resort long known as one of New England’s most prominent LGBTQ+ destinations, featuring a thriving gay community and Pride celebrations that draw visitors from across the region.” Oh.

if platner steps down now, there's plenty of time to find another progressive candidate.

Well, well, well...

I don't know when he re-enlisted, but he went to work for the State Dept (as a contractor for Blackwater, a whole other ssue) in 2018, during the 1st Trump Admin. I did find this, however, which says the Pentagon overhauled the screening program in 2021. www.chronline.com/stories/mili...

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

Making Argentina Great Again. Indefensible.

Trump’s already silencing dissent — arresting protesters, weaponizing the DOJ, and now he’s rigging maps to steal Congress. Prop 50 is the only legal firewall left. #YesOnProp50

He wants appreciation for ruining their lives.

🤨😐🫥🤨

Trump just said they’re going to demolish the *entire* East Wing to make room for his ballroom. So much for the idiots in my mentions saying it was just a wall.

“.. It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Not to be cringe, but I'm surprised I am emotional seeing the East Wing demolition. My first job in DC was interning and going to meetings there regularly. I learned everything about it while giving guided tours. The beauty of the East Wing is that everyone can go there. It's America's house.

So I was just in a meeting with @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and if you are in New Jersey and you need a reason to vote for her, she said that most of the rights that you enjoy are not actually codified into NJ law. So if you are in NJ and you like your current rights, she has to win!

First thing we do is rip his name off of every federal building anywhere it was placed. Straight into a dumpster.

More ICE harassment and detentions in Chicago. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/21/i...

The funniest part is the notion that ranchers and farmers get to set their own prices. They probably got a decent laugh out of that one. 🤡

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters. I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes. It makes far more sense to interdict them.
