Reject tariffs! History has shown us that they only lead to economic depression and military aggression.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

Dear Media, This is illegal! Please report on it! www.cms.gov “Due to the Democrat-led shutdown, updates to information on this website may be limited or delayed. Mission-critical activities of CMS will continue as the Trump Administration works to reopen the government for the American people."

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Remember these would this Saturday for No Kings...

Before catastrophic floods swept through the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk on Sunday, the EPA canceled a $20 million grant intended to protect the community from extreme flooding. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th” 👉👉 nokings.org

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Make your plans to attend a #NoKings event on Saturday, October 18th. Millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. Please join in! You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50! #FightFireWithFire

Religious leaders & faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who would Jesus deport?’ Trump regime ICE forces have targeted them as they pray, shooting them in the head with pepper balls then laughing.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

You heard correctly! My 21st standup special, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the PTSD-List is out now on YouTube! That's right, YouTube. I wanted this one to be available for everyone, go watch it now and let me know what you think! youtu.be/UF2REkRgUZA?...

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

DRAIN THE SWAMP

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent" Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Wow

Thanks so much to everyone who boosted this post, wow! We have gotten several inquiries but it's a big government with a lot of information to go after. If you're a journalist, analyst, advocate, blogger, YouTuber, or just want to gab about records drop us a line

It has been a whirlwind two days. From our launch yesterday to four media interviews today. Nearly 2,000 folks have stepped up to donate to our grassroots campaign. It’s humbling. We are working to come out swinging and take back MO-2 and help working Missourians. ICMYI our kick off video.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Go to hud.gov and use the website feedback button to tell them the website is for all Americans and to take down this partisan propaganda. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Republicans control the shutdown. Top to bottom. For example, construction of Trump's ballroom will continue as "essential" during the shutdown. But the stuff that helps you will not. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections.

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.
