New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

Oh, Maine…

None of this is ok

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

For the internet hot-takers who think Nazism began with gas chambers and ghettos

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

🚨 Rep. Gregory Meeks just accused Sec. Marco Rubio of giving false testimony about U.S. foreign aid cuts. 📉 The Lancet says those cuts could cause 690,000 child deaths in 2025 alone. 🦠 HIV meds stranded. Kids dying. Officials silent.

Good morning. It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19) Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day) Both shutdowns occurred under Trump. How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

What can we do to stop him? 1st don’t worry about 2026/28 elections, yet. Focus on the Nov 2025 elections where there will be 52k races nationwide & turn out is key. 2nd, vote for pro democracy candidates that will shape the 2026/28 elections! Key elections are in CA, ME, NJ, PA & VA! #Elections2025

Priorities.

House GOP: work 12 days, take 81 off. At full pay and benefits.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

Didn’t expect to see this in Lancaster, PA. The billboard says, “Without due process, it’s just kidnapping.” Some truths should not be political.

Liar of the House

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

😡

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

It’s truly sickening 🤢

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

🤬

Trump would try to demolish his AirBnb rental. Or at least paint it gold.

Melt ICE 🧊

This is what Republicans voted for?

Jeffries on Mike Johnson likening Democrats to terrorists: "That type of language is reckless, irresponsible, and it's gonna get someone killed."

We sent people *who were actual MS-13 informants* El Salvador so we could use their gulag for propaganda purposes, and now actually going after gang members in America is harder than before. @jonfavs.bsky.social talks that and more with @timmiller.bsky.social in today's Bulwark Podcast:

Hello? GOP? Is anyone out there?

Good morning. It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Terrifying

Marco Rubio’s place in history will be somewhere in the deepest level of hell thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Still more shame on Marco Rubio www.npr.org/2025/10/21/n...

💸

And here I am sharing Rand Paul….

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress 28 days ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the GOP's rejection of democracy.

💔

Releasing a health care plan is not negotiating. It's...releasing a health care plan. Odd that the House speaker doesn't understand that basic point.
