The rule that the Speaker of the House has sole discretion as to when members of Congress are sworn-in to office is obviously flawed AF. Once election results are recognized and certified, any active judge should be allowed to swear representatives into office.

In Portland, Oregon, ICE and DHS opened fire on peaceful “No Kings” protesters using pepper balls and tear gas. Amidst the chaos, heavily armed federal agents disappeared multiple individuals.

There is no greater symbol of the collapse of the post-World War II order than the prevailing narrative that the only ways to hold authoritarians accountable is with…other authoritarians.

NewsGuard's Reality Check

Military families are missing paychecks, food pantries are overwhelmed, and kids are losing after-school programs, all because of Trump’s shutdown. Our troops deserve better than this chaos. Read more here: www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/p... #TrumpShutdown #SCDems #SCpol

Small business owners: if you get health coverage through HealthCare.gov, your premium is likely to substantially increase next year if Republicans don't work with Democrats to keep premiums down. To my Republican colleagues: small business owners need your help.

Not if ICE takes all our hardworking neighbors away. It’s sabotage to their own states!

BREAKING: A federal judge handed down a ruling from the bench Sunday night to shield Portland from additional National Guard deployments, which she said was the move of an administration "circumventing" her earlier order.

CA - YES ON 50! Dont let anyone tell you “Texas & Missouri redistricting have nothing to do with CA”. When Republicans give House Republicans more seats to tip the scales for a Republican House majority - IT AFFECTS EVERYONE IN THE NATION who are subject to R legislation/cuts/funding!

Thin-skinned? Told that anybody insulting them is 'an enemy from within'? That they are 'nothing'? Is this dehumanization at a large scale because they believe tweets? (All that worry aside, don't think insulting anyone will get their cooperation, protesters).

He should stick with his cryptocurrency.

This could be big. It has more power than an EO.

The lack of institutional self-awareness can be mortifying.

Good lessons for today . . .

This really doesn’t look AI. If it’s true is it plausible ICE has high orders to do this or it’s improv at the low levels?

In 1973, an Air Force nuclear-missile officer named Harold Hering asked a simple question: “How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane president?” The question cost him his career. Would it get him a promotion today? That little thought gives me hope.

Exactly what I feared since 2015. To put these men and women in this position. You?

Jurors, ordinary citizens, still have real judicial power to nullify laws case by case!

Goodnight everyone! I leave you with Damien Robitaille with Gurdeep doing “Pump Up The Jam.”

This never should have happened.

We don’t have free enterprise capitalism when we have welfare for Musk, libertarians. And we shouldn’t have too many individuals w/o work or purpose too long for their mental health.
