For my forever Space Sis: 🎂 💞

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

Watching to self soothe today.

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

I have never seen such a perfect image

I don’t remember him promising to double our healthcare premiums on the campaign trail.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

Cuomo had better learn how to say “Mayor Mamdani” correctly, because he got smoked last night.🔥

“I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” ~James Baldwin

The Pentagon has a budget of almost $1 Trillion per year- all paid for by US taxpayers. We own it and deserve to have a free press covering it.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss. You’re caught up. Ps: Welcome back.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me zeteo.com/p/mehdi-conn...

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Talk about indoctrination…

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

Nice recap

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦 He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼 1/2

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops. 📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Jeffries to Lawler: "You're a complete and total embarrassment. You're embarrassing yourself and your district right now. And you're going down to defeat next year."

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention. 🇺🇸 www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

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?

Michigan Avenue right now.

👀👀👀👀

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Thanks, New Yorker

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
