Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation. Let’s make it very clear how wrong he is:

NEW: Sources and internal emails confirm the Epstein files review inMarch (where they spent $1M in overtime & had 1000+ agents working 24-hour shifts) was a review of the NY files. There's no way they "lost" a million more. I'm gong live to discuss in 30 minutes: www.youtube.com/live/rx7Tyhz...

Explicit exquisite examination of the manipulation of the Shepherd’s sheep by wolves.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Repeat after me…

Brilliant insight along with specific actionable strategies.

The writing is on the wall, if you can read it.

The heartbreaking loving words of Rob and Michele’s kids. Pray for their strength. May love surround them as they try to navigate this new reality.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Got the dreaded ”we see something unusual on your mammogram results” phone call yesterday. Went back in this morning for another mamo and ultrasound. The radiologist looked at everything and said “You’re all clear!” Women, stay up on your yearly mamo. It’s not fun but it can save your life.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

This is how you honor your oath of duty.

Heads talking with their hearts.

Unacceptable. The cruelty does serve though, it serves the perpetrators of these barbaric policies in their quest to deter immigration. A form of terrorism that qualifies them as domestic terrorists.

“This is just the beginning.”

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

Slava Ukraine. Heroiam slava

Not only can we recommit to serve the common good of all Americans, humans every where could learn to serve the common good of all humanity. We could even learn to serve all life in its myriad of forms out of compassion and love, and not as transactional acts committed in our own best interests.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

In the midst of my battle against MTT/MPNST (a rare highly aggressive form of cancer), Sentara notified me that it is no longer “profitable” for them to offer Medicare Advantage Plans in VA. So stressful! So grateful for the ACA & its guarantee of coverage for preexisting conditions. #MTT #sarcoma

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Think of it this way.

Accountability Matters.

This is so fucking wrong. He’s just ignored the entire process that must be followed to mess with the peoples’ house. Like he ignores every other rule, norm, & law. I’m so fucking pissed off at his Republican enablers who let him do this. The White House is OUR house. Not his.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you? Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18 #NoThronesNoCrownsNO_KINGS 👑

Good morning! Today would be a great day to call your local TV and radio stations to ask them to please make sure they have a crew covering the No Kings protest on Saturday. Tell them the locations in case they don't know. And tell them you'll be watching for the coverage.

i am feeling, i am seeing, i am hearing, i am getting the vibes, that students this sem are better than they've been in years because learning offers a rare haven from authoritarianism, a place to convene, commune, think together, refuel for the fight

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Donald Trump’s takeover of America." Will Saletan

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

"The men who profit and make their living by the depravity and the awful misery of other human beings stand far below any ordinary criminals, and no measures taken against them can be too severe." - Theodore Roosevelt, Autobiography (1913), on his experience as NYC Police Commissioner c. 1896.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi." The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Since Donald Trump returned to office in January, SCOTUS has backed him at least in part in 21 of 23 emergency docket cases. In doing so, the court has expanded how it uses its emergency power, following at least six different legal paths to side with Trump, a Reuters analysis found reut.rs/4o4MidQ
