COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of four New Hampshire voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking the state’s full, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

The President turning the military against Americans is a bigger story than the shutdown and media outlets should treat it accordingly.

Pete Hegseth says overweight military leaders should resign. Shouldn’t that include Fat Satan?

I asked Trump's former OMB director Mick Mulvaney to acknowledge it's a lie that undocumented immigrants get ACA subsidies (they don't), and he ended the interview. "Would you agree that not a single dime of ACA subsidies goes toward undocumented immigrants?" "I'm not gonna do this anymore."

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

So now we wait to see if the military will follow the constitution or trumpty.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

BREAKING: In a disgusting moment, Trump tells a room full of generals "America is under invasion from within... At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out." Generals understand the oath differently. This speech is a disgrace.

MIKE JOHNSON: FEMA won't be funded. It's real danger for real people COLLINS: The president talked about eliminating FEMA before this shutdown happened JOHNSON: He wants to reform FEMA

Things I support: more funding for pediatric cancer research Things I do not support: the President usurping Congress’s powers

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

One metric I use to figure out how absolutely fucked everything is is the number of assholes like this screeching shitgibbon I agree with on a given day.

"'Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life ... Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.'" www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo...

My sister has spent years arranging travel for naval personnel and she is appalled at the wasted money spent bringing LITERALLY HUNDREDS of admirals and generals here. Like she knows firsthand how extraordinarily expensive this flexshow is.

Someone had to say it. Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov

Trump needs to be investigated - and we don't need Congress or the DOJ to do that. New from @stevenstrauss.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/state-comm...

A TV talk show chatterbox elevated to Secretary of Defense talking about standards is an undiluted lack of self-awareness.

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

So will our military that swore oath to the constitution just flip. I hope that’s not the case.

“…I think the concern about being used politically is very real…Perhaps there has been a culling of a sort…generals have been let go w/o cause. Never seen that before….” share.newsbreak.com/f8sjxrgt?s=i16

I am presently caring for my husband who is in the denial stage of his disability’s. He is angry and mad his body isn’t working. He has had 4 surgeries of his shoulders and 4 in his back. I’m pretty sure he needs another surgery since his legs have both stopped working. I’m at a loss.

The cavalry has arrived in Portland, Oregon. Our war-ravaged city will not fall without a fight.

If the military is used to kill those deemed a “domestic enemy” by a POTUS, that is in fact the military acting against Constitutional principles. That would make the military an enemy of the US Constitution. Both sides want military to take out “domestic enemies.” Military needs to stay apolitical.

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

A shutdown is when the government takes a vacation from doing nothing.

Sen. DURBIN: We need to support law enforcement and policies that improve—not erode—trust between them and our communities. I will not sit idly by while this President tramples the Constitution.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Donald Trump told America's top generals: If you disagree with me and leave the room, "there goes your rank, there goes your future." This isn't leadership. It's a threat. He doesn't want a military loyal to the Constitution, he wants one loyal only to him. Yet another red line for our democracy.

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous & Cabinet vote to hand over $83M to one of his campaign donors in exchange for 4, count 'em, FOUR acres of waterfront property that the donor bought for $8 million. I watched -- the vote took just 2 minutes to ram through. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

JEFFRIES TO TRUMP: “The next time you have something to say to me, don’t cop out through a racist and fake AI video — When I’m back in the Oval Office, say it to my face.”

Note that two of the biggest chunks of the federal budget are Social Security and Medicare. Also note, this is authoritarian/dictatorial language. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/tues...
