The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good. social.demcast.com/s/dD2MklQj

The Billionaires Have Been Sucking the Rest of Us Dry Since 1989—And It’s Worse Than You Think The 905 billionaires in the U.S. hold a combined $7.8 trillion in wealth, giving those at the very top political influence and power that undermines our democracy while working people scrape to get by.

Speaker Johnson is stalling to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

Every American should be alarmed that Pres. Trump has decided he can wage secret wars against anyone he labels an enemy. Drug cartels must be stopped, but declaring war & ordering lethal military force without Congress or public knowledge - nor legal justification - is unacceptable.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

Bernie is right: the Republicans cannot be allowed to axe healthcare for 15 million people and double the premiums of 20 million more to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Health insurance premiums for plans bought over the ACA marketplace will ⬆️ 114% on average if enhanced subsidies expire. Dems pushed to extend the tax credits as part of a deal to avert a government shutdown but the GOP said NO. ~22 million people receive enhanced subsidies. #RepublicanShutdown

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Demonizing trans and LGBTQ+ people was a big part of the Nazi movement, btw. When the Nazis came to power, one of their earliest actions was to destroy the Institute for Sexual Science, a center for trans healthcare and LGBTQ+ rights. Anti-trans hatred isn’t new. It’s fascism 101.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

I got my start in public service on the LA community college board—I know that too many students struggle to afford school and rely on lifelines like Medicaid & SNAP. Proud to bring together local leaders to discuss how we can support students through Trump's devastating cuts.

Oregon AG: "Trump has started to attack our independent judiciary. He's attacked free press. And now you've seen the normalization of the US military in American cities. We have to draw a line in the sand. This is America. You don't need the US military walking our streets in any city."

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

@democrats-appropriations.house.gov Put together a timeline showing how this shutdown has been inevitable based on R refusal to let Ds be part of, what is supposed to be, a bipartisan process, since the day Trump was sworn in. I can’t properly articulate how phenomenal this timeline is. 3/

Repping the Rep @foushee.house.gov Had a telephone town hall on Monday. One woman asked how she was fighting back against racism. Her answer is just another reminder of how many Reps we have fighting like hell, but we don’t know about it cause they’re not as flashy as some others. 2/

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

🚨I’m in Washington, D.C. on high alert to see whether or not Republicans will come to the table to solve the health care crises they’ve created or if they’d rather shut down the government.

The illegal release of @RepSherrill’s personal information is an affront to the sanctity of our federal government. That's why I am joining my New Jersey colleagues in demanding an investigation into this serious security breach.

Imagine if Schumer and Jeffries said this: President Trump is "using the Justice Department and other agencies to pry into the lives of Americans. They’re rifling through people’s mortgage documents. And then knowingly spreading lies about what they found far and wide." trib.al/AtaNQAB

ACLU Files Free Speech Lawsuit Against Officials At CT State Police, DOT #ctnewsjunkie #ctpolitics

Every single Republican should be getting inundated with this video. Do they agree that networks that are mean to Trump should have their licenses pulled?

Farmer speaks out at GOP Rep. Alford's town hall: "Agriculture has taken a heck of a hit. Trump is not helping the farmer. When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing his ass for these trade deals?"

If you are approached by federal agents: invoke your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and your 6th Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer."

Trump's reckless tariffs are putting your paycheck in danger as inflation rises on essential goods.

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 236 Today’s word of the day is “messaging.” I was in a briefing with Cory Booker this morning and he talked about how part of what our Dems are doing is telling stories and raising alarm 1/

Today feels like a very good day to talk about why I praise Democrats when they do the right thing. Everyone wants to be praised. Someone commented on one of my posts, as a gotcha “what are they, dogs?” 1/

Authoritarianism is scary and dangerous but so very far from invincible. And if you let yourself be convinced too much of their power, then they've won. Authoritarianism is built on fragile illusions of control and competence. It's hard but brittle and shatters readily under even a little pushback.

Using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext, the Trump administration is planning on “an organized strategy to go after left-leaning organizations” that had nothing to do with his murder. trib.al/gOITqi1

We feel the heat; we see the fires. We’re quite aware of climate disasters. So just who benefits when the White House says polluters don’t pollute and gives them a pass on poison? Everyday people - or fossil fuel investors? Hint: it’s not most humans. Speak up! #TruthBrigade

Kimmel off the air is not cancel culture. It's state censorship. The FCC Chair abused merger approval authority to do it, and the president touted it saying no one should be allowed to make fun of him. Don't play into the BS that complaining students or social media posters are equivalent to govt.

My first few days in Congress have been jam-packed! ✅ Introduced my 1st bill to protect federal workers from unjust DOGE cuts. ✅ Signed the Epstein discharge petition. ✅ Gave my 1st floor speech calling out Trump’s harmful policies. It’s an honor to serve Fairfax families.

Let’s be clear: Trump is weaponizing the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk to attack his critics, silence dissent, and escalate his assault on the First Amendment. We fought a revolution to guarantee free speech in America. We’re not going back.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
