A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

🔥 Yesterday, a group called "14 Suburban Moms" do a civil disobedience protest by crossing the barricade at Broadview and sitting in a circle. ✊🏼 Watch as they get arrested one by one while protestors shout "Mother Power" and blow whistles the way it's done to warn that someone is being detained‼️

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

They can't hide from the Epstein files forever. I have some new information about them that I'll reveal on this Sunday's Breakdown over on @meidastouch.com at 3:30 PM PT.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

Power didn’t scare her, and neither does history. Nancy Pelosi led when others hid, stood tall when others folded. She got us through the first Trump term fearlessly. A fighter. A force. A first. All the flowers for a leader who never blinked. 🌹

For many years @teenvogue.com has been a beacon of diversity and progressive politics for young people (and the articles were also edifying for older folks like me; I have shared many!) How terrible to see Condé Nast knuckle under to those who want to erase these important voices and ideas. SHAME!

And I wonder how many dogs she gleefully ran over in all those years of reckless driving.

RIP - a great woman whose courageous challenge in the courts gave to Irish women the first steps towards control of their own reproductive bodies. Rest in power, Mrs McGee #speirgorm

Eight cop cars swarmed this Black teen, forced him to his knees and cuffed him behind his back after an oh-so-flawlessly-advanced AI detector mistook his bag of Doritos for a weapon. The cops downplayed their terrorizing the teen as simply a brief detainment and release. newsone.com/6559263/balt...

Do not obey in advance, as Timothy Snyder urges us. Equally important is to not let a creeping despair and hopelessness dampen your will to fight back against the creeping fascism of Trump and his enablers. Here are three books to rekindle your hope and inspire you to fight on. Details below...🧵

That's some powerful Marie Antoinette 'Let them eat cake' vibe Leavitt is putting out. I'm sure all Americans worrying about prices, jobs, health insurance and being suddenly thrown into the back of an unmarked van by an ICE thug are glad Trump has his priorities straight.

Gee, I guess they'll have to lower the standards even more for ICE agents. Maybe sit for 32 minutes, do 15 pushups in 14 minutes, and walk 15 steps without stopping.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go. *Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

Immediately.

So Trump's stunt endangered the lives of highway patrol officers and others by raining shrapnel down on them. I wonder...did Trump also rain diarrhea shit down on them?

Totally corrupt, and totally convinced they will get away with it.

Well, I finally found an arrest made at a #NoKings protest. 🤣🤣🤣

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, “Is the President sane?”

Today is all about #NoKings, but we mustn't forget it's also #Caturday. Here's a pic of a nice cat relaxing on a white wall....... BUT WAIT!! BE CAREFUL, KITTY!!!!!!!!

I won't repost it--you can find it easily--but the diaper-wearing, toddler-brained president of the United States tonight shared an AI-generated video of himself wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet to dump cascades of diarrhea shit on protesters, admitting that he's a king shitting on the US.

I could kinda buy any other President pretending they’re shrugging off 7 million people hitting the streets to convey they hate him, but not the guy still beefing with Rosie O’Donnell.

Every single No Kings protest, all 2,500+ of them across the country, made Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership look like lying sacks of shit for all the bullshit that spewed out of their mouths about it this week. Again. Not very Christian.

Another small portion of the ##NoKings protest in Mesa, Arizona. A joyous crowd, and nonstop supportive honks from passing cars.
