As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Legal and illegal lose their meaning when the Supreme Court decides the President is the law.

In Opinion, from @benjaminhjohns1.bsky.social: "Measured by firings, this panic is already larger than the repression of the McCarthy era. And it has only begun."

It's the lowest consumer sentiment reading of the last 50 years in this survey.

THE TRUMP ECONOMY: The Index of Consumer Sentiment and the Index of Consumer Expectations have dropped by 21.6% and 30.6% respectively in the past year in the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, with large drops in both indices over the past month.

Americans will pay a steep price for Trump's misguided and destructive abandonment of U.S. leadership in global health, because infectious diseases and their causes travel the world without respect to national borders, including our own. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/n...

Republicans control Congress and the White House. THEY planted a ticking time bomb that could kick millions off their health care. We’re trying to defuse it, but they’re threatening a government shutdown instead—while demanding a blank check for Trump. That's what's happening.

Former OMB Director Shalanda Young: “In what world do you ask people for their votes without sitting down and having a conversation with them?” In Trump world.

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

Hey dipshit, nice try. You Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. Why are you whining about the Democrats? You control the entire federal government. Any shutdown is on you.

The weaponization of the National Archives under Trump and Rubio (the acting director) to help MAGA candidates like Jack Ciattarelli is a major scandal that should trouble anyone regardless of party. Rubio should be fired as acting director.

These guys are so drunk with power and extremist that they don't know that this is a terrible story for them with everyday Americans.

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

Trump's bone headed policies and inept negotiations have screwed America's farmers six ways to Sunday.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families. While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.

Trump is conceding the 21st century to our competitors and raising energy costs for consumers in the process, all because he joined at the hip to the fossil fuel industry. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

To be clear,Thune thinks it is unhinged to stop damaging cuts to Medicaid and prevent huge increases in health insurance costs for over 20 million Americans. The large majority of voters disagree with him. What's unhinged is to not be willing to even talk about it. #TrumpShutdown

Trump's ratings are significantly negative on every issue in the new Washington Post Ipsos poll

Well said by @schumer.senate.gov

Old constitutional crisis: President disobeys the Supreme Court. New constitutional crisis: Supreme Court disobeys the Constitution.

MAGA women are going to suffer through a lot of high fevers for no reason

Once again, I want to congratulate the pharmaceutical industry for decades of funding and empowering the GOP.

Democrats want to roll back the cruel and draconian cuts to health care that will raise all of our costs. Republicans would rather have a government shutdown.

There is very little the MAGA Supreme Court won’t let Trump do. The majority serves him, not the Constitution.

Good on Ted Cruz for calling out Brendan Carr, but will a single Republican call out Trump himself for directing the A.G. to indict his political opponents - something for which any previous president would have been impeached? This is a weak bunch that ignores its oath to defend the Constitution.

In January 2024 we conducted research showing a significant impact could be made by warning voters a second Trump term would be much more dangerous than the first, and grounding it in things Trump already said. Way too much of the warning we recommended then already has been borne out.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Michael Eisner is libbing out

A healthcare fight where Democrats are for healthcare and Republicans are against it. Who has the high side of that argument?

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

A lot of Republicans will see ads like just like this one next year, especially with Republicans in Congress choosing to stay the course on deep Medicaid cuts despite calls by Democrats to fix the GOP's Medicaid mess in the government funding bill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckOa...

Strong response by @schumer.senate.gov to this new wave of censorship.

From @stevebenen.com: 36% of Republican voters, 38% of voters who backed Donald Trump and 40% of “very conservative” voters all expressed support for a president “willing to break some rules and laws to set things right.”

Trump should have called himself up.

The new Fox News poll finds that far fewer voters are extremely or very concerned about crime in their neighborhoods today than four years ago.

The Trump economy:

Now do the two Minnesota Democratic legislators and the attempts on the lives of Josh Shapiro and Paul Pelosi.

Good for Chuck Schumer for forcing 51 Republicans to go on the record against the release of the Epstein files. Only Hawley and Paul voted the other way. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

Very different from the Fox commentators and right-wingers who say "we are at war." We need more like Spencer Cox, less of the others, who are itching for a war.

Someone should be emphasizing that we know absolutely nothing about the person who murdered Charlie Kirk or why they did it.

Excellent!

result in VA-11 special election tonight is a 16 percentage point swing to Democrats vs 2024 — right in line with the average swing in all specials held in 2025 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

It's not the way I speak says the "grab 'em by the pussy" guy.

It's totally plausible that Robert Mueller traveled back 22 years in a time machine and planted a fake lurid, disgusting letter from Donald Trump into Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book. Fiendish.

Trump’s MAGA Court

RIP, Humphrey’s Executor. I didn’t know a single justice, acting alone, could ignore precedent, but I guess I just lack the imaginative gutlessness of John Roberts.

The RFK Jr of energy. A cabinet full of dangerous and corrupt kooks.

Why stop there? Let’s rename all Depts after what Trump is inflicting on America. Dept of HHS -> Dept of Hepatitis and Human Suffering Dept of VA -> Dept of Veteran Abandonment Dept of Education -> Dept of Erasure of History Dept of Commerce -> Dept of Corruption Just a start.

Another sign of Trump’s failed economic policies: job losses in nearly every sector of the economy, including 12,000 manufacturing jobs lost.

This proposal for a short-term, temporary extension of premium tax credits is designed to protect the jobs of Republican incumbents who know their party's healthcare policies are extremely unpopular, not to protect people's access to affordable health insurance.
