Good morning friends ☀️☕️ I wish all of you a wonderful Wednesday! 😃💙😁

I can’t believe that military people aren’t going to get paid through this shut down, but ICE will still keep receiving their paychecks? There’s something very seriously wrong with that picture. The military needs to go into full revolt against this bat-shit-crazy administration.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

For MAGA, facts are pesky things

It’s a bad look.

He was just in the news a couple weeks ago again because he had another warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court date for yet another driving incident.

-32,000 private sector jobs in September.

"Follow the money".

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Around 200,000 people flooded the streets of Belgium to say end the genocide of Gaza.

🚨Breaking: I led a letter with Senators Durbin, Blumenthal, Duckworth, and Rep Ramirez demanding an independent investigation into the killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by an ICE officer. Our communities deserve transparency and accountability for the deadly actions of DHS personnel.

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

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

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Rep. @gregcasar.bsky.social: There's more mentions of Trump in the Epstein files than there are Republicans in DC today.

"Please murder Americans for me," the dotard-in-chief begs of the military.

Someone please check in with Jeffries about whether he thinks being shot in the street by a platoon of Marines is a kitchen-table issue.
