Please donate to your local food bank You can also donate to this food bank where there are so many laid off government workers Go to capitalareafoodbank.org Thank you

Plenty of money for private jets. No money for your health care.

Trump fired another Inspector General tonight, so need to update those numbers @chrispiper.bsky.social www.govexec.com/oversight/20...

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Narrator: "This is not, in fact, the American way."

#NoKings and #NoKingsLivermore - so many great signs and a great crowd! We estimated around 3,500 people showed up - plus so much love from passersby! Credit ProBonoPhotos (Richard Finn)

#NoKings and #NoKingsLivermore - estimated crowd of 3,500, by far our largest event yet!

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Good Day Friends!! Its a great day to defend & fight for OUR Constitution! #NoKings ❌👑 #VoteBlue 🗳️ #Pinks 🌸

The Trump regime wants us to be afraid, but we’re on track to make Saturday the biggest day of peaceful protest in modern US history. There are No Kings events almost everywhere — join us to make it clear we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

🗞️Today's NYT reporting: "Trump said this, then Trump said that. Trump did this, and then Trump did that. Trump did that, and now Trump's doing this. Trump wants this, now Trump wants that." NO JOURNALISM NO CONTEXT NO FACT-CHECKING They basically just takes notes for the MF'er, and print it.

Hey folks! Tomorrow on my live webcast, History Matters: On Lawlessness The rule of law is being trampled. What does that mean and what should we do? Join us tomorrow. Friday 10AM ET NCHEteach.org/conversations

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Who is leading the opposition to Prop 50? An anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ MAGA millionaire. Munger, Musk, Theil, Yass & the usual cabal of wealthy MAGA know they need to spread as much misinfo as possible to win. Vote YES on Prop 50! California can do the entire nation a service on Nov 4th.

This Trump administration policy of generating an artificial civil war on the basis of big lies is of course meant to be frightening but it is also anti-American, unlawful, stupid and pursued by wildly unpopular people.

To understand the chaos in Chicago, here are some must-follows: @unraveledpress.com @thetriibe.com @blockclubchi.bsky.social @chicago.suntimes.com @katmabu.bsky.social @bencollins.bsky.social @dansinker.com @wttw.bsky.social

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

New bench slap just dropped. They are coming at a truly astonishing rate. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

that's the story, folks

Pfizer "secured a three-year grace period from President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on pharmaceuticals" and in return will "sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx" looks like state capitalism to me www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yes. This is why it's important for Democrats to draw a line in the sand. Why would we provide the votes to fund a Department of Justice that is actively (and successfully!) hunting Trump's enemies and suppressing free speech?

Just catching up: Between SCOTUS shadow docket, unhinged pressers, weird relationships in DHS leadership, and crimes and coverups in the DOJ, it's been another long week already. . . I'm going to take a Tylenol and watch the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

SCOTUS CORRUPTION ALERT 🚨 Brett Kavanaugh is set to rule on a case he lost 25 years ago. He has a clear conflict of interest. My colleague @andrewlseidel.bsky.social broke the news on his pod One Nation Indivisible: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/0...

“I think the only thing that moves the needle here… is some sort of national economic strike.” @profgalloway.com proposes using consumer power to push back against autocracy.

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

I just left voice messages for my U.S. Senators Alex Padilla & Adam Schiff & spoke with a staffer for my House rep Congressmember Laura Friedman to OPPOSE any federal spending deal that is a blank check for Trump's abuses of power! I also thanked Schiff for his fantastic questioning of Kash Patel.

We need your help to make October 18 the biggest peaceful protest of the year. Please spread the word, register your local event as soon as you can, and start RSVPing for the local protests to help build momentum: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

With these now explicit threats to use the Kirk killing as the pretext to attack liberal political groups, and given the Ds hold the cards at the end of the month, what are @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social going to do about this? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This is a very important thread to read from top to bottom.

Yeah, the idea that campuses don't have enough "debate" is a red herring. Good thread here from Joe:

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

In other news Missouri Republicans just passed new gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 90% of seats in state Trump won with 58%. Destroys district held by Black Rep Emanuel Cleaver, one of 2 Dems in state Texas was just start of Trump’s plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Unreal. "Forwarding these names, a well-known practice from the McCarthy Era, may well subject a number of faculty, staff, or students to widespread surveillance—a breathtaking breach of trust, ethics, and justice." - Judith Butler, whose name was among the 160 shared with the Trump administration

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

This is not the safe course, it's a reckless gamble that the party will magically rebound from record unfavorable polling numbers by quietly helping Republicans fund their agenda and avoid a major electoral problem until just after the midterms.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.
