I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey offered one message to the federal agency: “Get the f**k out.”

This is sickening. Absolutely sickening.

The newly released Epstein files can be found here. You have the opportunity to read these documents yourself and understand why the Trump administration fought so hard to keep them from you.

SOURCES: The Epstein files are actually worse than previously thought. Here's my latest episode of The Breakdown in case you missed it yesterday. www.muellershewrote.com/p/sources-th...

@democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov This is how important he thinks the shutdown is. He's spending time at the Commanders game. This is the only proper response. Do not cave! Do not concede!

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

For my DC folks.

@neguse.house.gov bringing the heat. Bravo! Channeling President Obama here. Looks like @democrats.org are in Washington, ready to negotiate in good faith. Where are the Republicans?

It is #WorldCitiesDay. Your health should not depend on where you live in a city. Yet stark inequities in ✅ food security ✅ housing ✅ sanitation ✅ climate risk cut across our cities, affecting our health. WHO’s new urban health guide shows how cities can close that gap. Learn more: bit.ly/4oanNMy

Turns out 7 million No Kings participants was indeed wrong. It was actually 3 times that. No wonder the right are freaking out.

Incredibly huuuge 🙌🏽 It was the "(combined)" at the end for us 💛

We have rights when protesting. Learn more at www.aclu.org/deployment_kyr.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

This Is Fascism

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I love a good explainer. Here's one about the US Insurrection Act. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

In light of the government shutdown/furloughs/layoffs, Washington Spirit is giving free tickets to its next game to 200 federal employees in the DMV area. "The halls of government may fall silent, but your service and sacrifice echo louder than ever in this region." ❤️

Democrats are in DC working to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care. Where are congressional Republicans? It’s the day before a government shutdown... and they’re on vacation.

SCOOP/UPDATE — The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) instructed *all* federal agencies to send out the shutdown email with NO modifications permitted, a federal source confirmed. Leadership received these orders via email at 1:30pm ET and then reinforced on a 3pm intra-agency call.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

Class is in session. What you already believe affects how you process new information. We saw this after the Oklahoma City bombing.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Scary. Everyone can act today. Join over 1000 current & former HHS employees in the call for RFK Jr’s immediate removal. Stop the destruction NOW! www.saveHHS.org for statement & calls to action. Follow @firedbutfighting.bsky.social, a group of illegally fired CDC staff & their allies. #USAnotRFK

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.
