#ProudBlue Mike Johnson told Senators Kelly & Gallego that he’ll move to seat Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva ASAP Johnson lied His aide threw Johnson under the bus confirming Rs have no plans to swear her in until Dems decide to open the government” on their terms No, Republicans must blink first

Trump is operating with revenge in mind, not the rule of law. The DNC stands with New York Attorney General Letitia James against his latest political attack. My full statement on her baseless indictment:

It seems like a bad sign when they fire the people who tell the military what’s legal and what is not.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

This is what my congressman has been up to on his paid vacation. 🤬 There’s nothing responsible about kicking 45 million people off their healthcare coverage with no plan to replace it - not even a concept of a plan. Please let Mr. Biggs know your thoughts. DC - (202) 225-2635 Mesa - (480) 699-8239

Second threat walked back after a couple days.

My statement on Middle East peace

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS In case you were wondering what new ways the GOP are planning on cheating, an ultra right-wing GOP election official, Scott Leiendecker, has bought Dominion Voting Systems- a year before the mid-term elections.

This is the office that would handle Hatch Act complaints, i.e. the federal law that prohibits using the federal government for partisan political activity

Gavin Newsom poked fun at Donald Trump after a 30-second ad for Trump Watches appeared on Newsmax’s airwaves in the middle of a government shutdown.

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook to the letter. He plans to invoke the the insurrection act & normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Does it ever stop?🤬🤬

Remember, the Supreme Court okay’d this without explanation on the shadow docket

A new study has concluded that solar power plants are now cost-competitive with diesel for many rural Alaska communities, even if solar is only usable during part of the year. (via Alaska Beacon)

President Donald Trump said Thursday he’s prepared to cancel funding approved by Congress that he believes is going toward programs supported by Democrats, though he didn’t share any additional details during a Cabinet meeting. By @jennifershutt.bsky.social

Federal prosecutors challenge arguments that two Justice Dept. employees jeopardized Luigi Mangione’s chance at a fair trial by reposting comments President Trump made about him.

Twenty-three children rescued from Russian-occupied Ukraine, senior official says reut.rs/47juwOc

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not. He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone. Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

Poor Pam Bondi First the Comey Soon-To-Be-Dismissed-Indictment, now the Tish James Soon-To-Be-Dismissed Indictment Blondie never knows if Trump's illegal and threatening orders to her will be made in private or on social media

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US. The average increase? 114%. For some, the numbers are even higher: A couple making $129,000 with two adult children at home in Savannah, GA, will pay $3,150 more per month for insurance.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, has been a steadfast advocate for our civil liberties throughout her career. She's issued powerful dissents in support of abortion rights, protecting the 14th Amendment, defending immigrant communities, and more.

Then there's Beauty Pageant Contestant (she won "Miss Uncongeniality) and TrumpAss sorta-lawyer Lindsay Halligan, who has signed her freedom away by putting her name on the Comey and James bullshit - presumably in exchange for free hair styling

The GOP Pro-Death Cult Marches On

🗞️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.

Thune plays the reasonable moderate, getting the lantern-jawed, steely-eyed-athletic-heartlander benefit of the doubt. But Thune (grandson of immigrants btw), who has been in the Senate for 20 yrs, is really the problem. Because he knows better but covers for the crazies. @profgalloway.com

Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy's chat with air traffic controllers was a masterclass in not helping

Banana republic shit. If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

If my "it's bullshit" isn't convincing enough, here's a good @lawfaremedia.org piece explaining... it's bullshit www.lawfaremedia.org/article/next...

Trump's Ongoing Deadly Boat Strikes Remain ILLEGAL! youtu.be/cIrCloRftKk?...

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

🔥 DEMOCRATS FIGHTING BACK! Rep. McGovern (D-MA) flips the script: You want work requirements? Start by showing up to work. Millions could lose healthcare while Republicans skip out. "DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB!"

AG JAMES: “.. This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.” @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

Every time a Trump scandal surfaces, the predictable chaos follows. Now it’s Tom Homan, the White House border czar, who was caught accepting $50,000 in cash during an FBI undercover operation, and the DOJ is scrambling to contain the fallout.

More on the destruction of the presumption of regularity

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson: SINCE YOU LOVE WORK REQUIREMENTS, I PROPOSE WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR CONGRESS. DO YOUR JOB OR NOT GET PAID! BRING THE HOUSE IN SESSION. THIS IS DESPICABLE!

Federal charges against a Chicago couple who were arrested for protesting against ICE were dropped after a grand jury refused to indict them.

Earlier today, DOJ basically told the judge in the Kilmar Abrego case they were going to blow off the vindictive prosecution claim. His attorneys responded, fine, then the criminal case must be dismissed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’ve never seen anything remotely this petty charged as bank fraud.

Good call lol

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James. So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would. Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.
