Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

BREAKING: Just hours before the fiscal year ended, a federal judge in R.I. has ordered the Trump administration to preserve $233 million in FEMA funds it attempted to abruptly steer away from 8 blue states. Without that order, the states would've lost the money at midnight.

The GOP controls all of govt. The GOP has broken so many promises to the democrats, like rescinding money they passed, cutting programs they approved by executive order, that trust cannot be assumed. So, fund govt GOP. If you need Dems help then ok, but there is a price. Easy

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025. Americans can't afford groceries or health care. But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Omg. I’ve never seen anything like this in a judicial opinion:

“Siri, zoom in.” @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Project 2025 referenced shrinking farmers access to foreign markets, restricting growth opportunities for producers. (p. 307)

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

👇🏽😳

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

The Republicans want the shutdown so they can fire everyone. I think this goes to confirm that. Sad times.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Huge credit to our stone-faced senior officers.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Too funny

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

Thank you to State Sen. Scott Wiener for this bill, to Gov. Gavin Newsom for supporting it, and AG Rob Bonta for enforcing it.

well that escalated quickly

* ABC LATE NIGHT HOST JIMMY KIMMEL'S MONOLOGUE DURING TUESDAY SHOW HAS RECEIVED MORE THAN 14 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM @reuters.com $DIS

Caught my eye this morning-a white rose with pink speckles on it. There are pink roses and flowers around so nature did its magic! #RoseWednesday #Bloomscrolling #Gardening #Nature #Flowers

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Tonight, the American people - in defense of free speech - returned a political satirist to the airwaves after a burgeoning fascist regime tried to silence him. It’s an historic night. I won’t forget it.

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Gavin Newsom: "It was Hannity, all these guys -- 'Outraged! Offended! Disgusted!' Because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity of what's going on in this country, the absurdity of Donald Trump, the absurdity of these networks playing into it"

As I was saying…

😕

California and the European Union share a long history of climate collaboration. Today, EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra and I reaffirmed our commitment to strengthen climate cooperation between California and the EU, and to continue working toward our mutual goals.

BREAKING: This Trump / Epstein statue to honor “friendship month” was mysteriously placed on the national mall. I love it. Don’t stop talking about Epstein.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Okay. So this is wholly on the Republican controlled government then.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

BREAKING: President Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

BREAKING: IN DEFIANCE OF TRUMP, DISNEY WILL RETURN JIMMY KIMMEL TO AIR STARTING TOMORROW. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world. I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from covering their faces while conducting official business under a bill that was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and swiftly denounced by Trump administration officials. https://cnn.it/4gwCypU

Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
