Sen. Chris Murphy says Trump prefers the government to be shutdown. “[Trump] likes the fact that the government is closed because he thinks he can exercise king like-powers,” he told CNN's Jake Tapper.

This is what they voted for. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

Trump’s plans to construct a 90,000 square-foot ballroom where the East Wing once stood appear to be ever-changing and done in “a hurried process,” with one design document showing the project to have a staircase leading to nowhere. The master builder at work.🙄 www.rawstory.com/white-house-...

This might clear up the confusion for Fox News fans who aren’t aware of what’s about to hit them. This will kick millions off insurance

A panel of US judges has rejected an effort by the Trump administration to delay court rulings on claims by veterans who say they have been unfairly denied disability benefits and other compensation @fpwellman.bsky.social @rogerzenaf.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

www.politico.com/news/2025/10... Inflation ticked up to 3% and Social Security only gets a 2.8% cost of living raise while Medicare will go up and take that. I hate this Trump administration.

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

your priorities should include at least ATTEMPTING to impeach him. get your party together. use those famous bipartisan skills to convince as many republicans as you can. you don’t even have to do the work: citizensimpeachment.com has already done it for you

When a guy says that his only priority is a ballroom, while millions are about to lose life saving benefits, you don't have a president, you have a selfish crook. We need a president, we currently don't have one. (government either)

A Washington resident has filed a lawsuit after he was handcuffed and briefly detained last month for protesting members of the National Guard patrolling D.C. neighborhoods by playing 'The Imperial March' from the "Star Wars" franchise.

The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

#FeedTheShutdown #ProudBlue The GOP shutdown is having a devastating impact on many Americans - & to top it off, SNAP payments stop in a week. Please check on your neighbors. Ask local food banks what their greatest needs are & donate/volunteer. We must pull together to help those struggling.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

We’ve been warning people about Bannon’s “3rd term” chatter for a while. Goes without saying that his “will of the American people” is bullshit. They cheat. We warned people about their Project 2025 playbook. P25 is now in full effect. Believe what they say AND what they do. Vote #YesOnProp50 🗳️

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

Agree 💯 With Bernie.......

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:

Inflation report set to be released shows inflation higher than it’s been in more than a year. Tarriffs are pushing prices higher. And unemployment is rising. The GOP always wrecks the economy. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AnNsZNrsURFe...

Right on! Thank you so much

🤨

The ad isn’t false. Trump’s rant that Ronald Reagan loved tariffs is false. Hence how Free Trade between the U.S. & Canada originated. Basic history that Trump calls fake. Duh. youtu.be/yJwtUxGpU6M?...

🚨Last night, the Tucson community gathered to OPPOSE the use of a facility for ICE’s detention camp. ✊🏼 This is what democracy looks like. Use it while you can! 1/2

Trump stopped giving personal funds to his charities after 2008. His foundation was dissolved in 2018 for misuse, and remaining funds were distributed by court order in 2019. Since then, no confirmed record of personal charitable giving exists; recent donation claims in 2025 are unverified.

New, from me: Trump is prioritizing paying the armed forces over other federal employees during a shutdown. He is trying to win over the rank and file even as he tells military leaders to target “the enemy within.” 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

How soulless and stupid to work for ICE?

Putin couldn't do better himself. Trump is more dangerous than any external adversary. Elon did this to us with X. Zuck did this to us with FB and IG. Google did this to us with platforming support systems.

This is our White House not 0.47's.

Putin bombed a kindergarten full of children today in Ukraine. Explain to me like I'm a 5-year-old.

President Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom has underscored an overlooked aspect of presidential power: no one could stop him. “Our hands are tied,” Rebecca Miller, executive director of the D.C. Preservation League, said.

In a crowded but airy courtroom 75 miles from where a downstate sheriff’s deputy shot and killed Sonya Massey near Springfield in a case that stirred national outrage, a prosecutor said Wednesday the deputy shot Massey after he got mad at her while she held a pot of boiling water.

🚨NEW: Stephen Miller’s new crusade: making it harder for millions of Americans to vote. His dark-money-funded legal group is urging the Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights Act and demanding “proof of citizenship” nationwide. www.levernews.com/stephen-mill...
