The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

The new Charlie Kirk memorial coin is out, and just like he was, it has literally no value and makes "no cents". #CharlieKirk

This administration has followed the Project 2025 playbook since the day they came to power. They need to be stopped. Vote. Them. Out.

The latest data from CERES has the planet warming over the latest 12-month period (through July, 2025) at the equivalent of about 9.3 Hiroshimas per Second or 807,000 per day. This is the highest rate since April, 2024. Data: ceres-tool.larc.nasa.gov/ord-tool/jsp...

Wait a second. Elon Musk's big bombshell was claiming Trump is in the Epstein files…but it turns out Musk is in the Epstein files? What a world.

They’re afraid of facts and the truth

I'm fully convinced that the majority of Trump supporters are still so miserable because they realize they screwed up and can't figure out how to get out of this without admitting their mistake. They know the ship is going down but they're gonna deny it until they drown with the rest of us.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

Corporate media is a distraction from reality.

100% tariffs on pharmaceuticals... Because the tariffs already in place aren't destroying things fast enough for the petulant toddler in charge.

"If our judicial officers are not making decisions based on the law and the facts in a case before them, but instead are making decisions based out of fear for their family's safety, that means our entire judicial system is going to start to unravel."

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump’s second term isn’t just about bad policies — it’s about permanently breaking America’s democratic institutions. Today, I explain why we can’t simply “resist” Trump and wait things out, but must build a long-term pro-democracy opposition movement. Please watch and share.

Trump and Attorney General Bondi are using the Department of Justice for revenge anntelnaes.substack.com/p/shooting-t...

So Democrats shouldn’t call Republicans fascist or gestapo or anything because that could provoke violence, but it is appropriate to call Democrats domestic terrorists or a domestic extremist organization. Do I have that right?

“.. We have a term: ‘groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound — but groceries are down."

Toxic PFAS sludge is being spread on farmland, contaminating our food and water. EPA was set to take action, but a rider slipped into the Interior funding bill would stop that work cold. thenationaldesk.com/news/spotlig...

Talisman said he has flagged this Hyattsville, MD ICE incident to his representatives, including Democratic senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, as well as the Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrest-g...

Today is apparently suicide prevention day and I want to remind people: UBI is suicide prevention. Universal health care is suicide prevention. Mental health care is suicide prevention. Patient advocacy and adequate disability resources are suicide prevention. Gun control is suicide prevention.

Stephen Miller tweeted that calling ICE authoritarian "incites violence and terrorism." This wasn't just the usual fascist bluster. It was a signal. I asked Bannon if Miller will seek to prosecute groups that use this language about ICE Read our exchange below. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

Growing food crops under solar panels is called Agrivoltaics. Lots of crops benefit from growing underneath them. I know in Maine they were piloting wild blueberries, and in Massachusetts cranberries. You can also graze animals like sheep or if you mount them high cows (not goats - they climb)

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons. snyder.substack.com/p/hegseth-pu...

A guess: this would leak anyway, especially something on this scale; and every single person in the Pentagon except Hegseth rightly thinks that this is insane and hopes publicity will make it not happen.
