Schumer: "As for these massive layoffs, guess what? They're doing it anyway! There's no shutdown, they're laying off all these people, the budget they've proposed says another 300,000 federal workers should be laid off ... "

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

If Jeffries was against them, they wouldn't have been introduced as legislation. You keep lying because you think you're safe in your Blue state, that the very Democrats who you stab in the back at every occasion will save you. And they will, because they're better humans than you'll ever be.

Why does the left lie about things so easily disproven? Is it a pathology? Or something else? And why are their most egregious and easily disproven lies aimed at women and Black men who support women? Jeffries hasn't sat on the impeachments. Johnson has because he controls the calendar.

Oof. cc: @izzos.us , @hipcrimevocab.net

Sending federal troops into our cities doesn’t make communities feel safer. If anything, it sows distrust and fear.

Basically let's be real here: by taking Trump and Miller's opinion of how powerful and unstoppable they are at face value and amplifying it, you are literally helping them more than rw types cheering them on. Stop it.

While the Supreme Court's decision yesterday was very troubling, it was NOT a final decision on this issue. We must keep fighting to ensure the power of the purse stays where it belongs, with the United States Congress. Don't lose hope. (2/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

MVP @kamalaharris.com at her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, DC today!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If there's a government shutdown, they own it. If they want Democrats’ help, they need to restore the health care of millions stripped by their big ugly bill.

Jeffries: “Four days away from a government shutdown and Republicans are on vacation…Donald Trump, right now as we speak, is at a golf event. It's outrageous.”

Kimmel is back in Seattle. He should never have been pulled from the air in the first place, but glad to see Sinclair reverse course. Thank you to all who spoke out for free speech.

I really appreciate how Dr. Glaucomflecken has become all of medicine and public health's emotional support ophthalmologist. I sat through 16 hours of ACIP meetings last week. If I do not laugh, I will cry.

Again, Tylenol is NOT a drug. It’s a brand. There’s a reason it’s being singled out…

The Trump admin illegally leaked my unredacted personnel file to Jack's allies to try to smear me. The full force of the federal government is being weaponized to defeat me — I’m asking you to help me fight back! Donate here: secure.ngpvan.com/NGY2cCnISU6c...

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

I'm signing legislation that eliminates a 25% tax hike on California's legal cannabis industry. We'll keep working to help our state's safe, legal industry grow against the unregulated illegal market. www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

I am hosting a Telephone Town Hall on Tuesday, September 30th at 5:30 PM! We will be talking all things health care plus Congressional Republicans and President Trump's destructive policies that will raise costs on 4.1 million Floridians. RSVP here: castor.house.gov/events/

Republicans are raising your health care costs. Even a small reduction in coverage can mean huge cost increases for New Jerseyans.

Prices are going to keep rising.

I'm thinking Disney got gamergated. They panicked because of what the right SAID Kimmel said about Kirk, and removed him before they verified it.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Republicans control the House.  Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. Trump and Republicans in Congress are choosing to shutdown the government rather than help 22 million Americans afford their health insurance.

I want to point a very important detail of this: Jeffries is holding a press conference trashing Trump. And only CSPAN is carrying it. And that is the problem with America right now. The only place Democrats get any press coverage are places where no one watches.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Jeffries: "Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare. Not complicated. Eight words. Even Donald Trump should be able to understand that."

Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. It’ll be on them if the government shuts down.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Obama: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything.

Today, I'm announcing a blueprint for the way forward in maternal health and birth equity in Illinois. I've committed this administration to making this the best state in the nation to raise a family. We cannot get there until it's safe and affordable for every mother to do so.

What they said.

Rep. Clark: When you control the White House, the Senate, and the House, whether or not the government shuts down is solely a Republican decision.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump really believed that he had a strong position here, then why did you back out of the meeting bro?"

Jeffries: "We will not be intimidated by Vought, who's totally out of control. The OMB has been illegally shutting down parts of the govt throughout the entire year, & the notion Dems are gonna be intimidated when all he's done is send a message that Republicans are determined to hurt people ... "

"Centrist" is like the term "working class", it's completely subjective. Anyone can be a "centrist", depending on how we define the word. And depending on the political position, everyone is. But not everyone is a centrist for every political position. And that's where I think the issue is.

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Costs. Save Healthcare.

The people who didn’t believe in Kamala Harris on July 20, 2024, when our party was staring down the barrel of a gun, are the same people questioning her now. (1/2)

Senator Mark Kelly: This is a fight over the cost of your health care. Does your rural hospital stay open or not? Does somebody's grandmother get pushed to the curb when she was in the nursing home? Those are the things we are fighting for—and the president says no.

Reminder that Comey was a scapegoat for Chaffetz leaking the letter that Comey sent, and Giuliani for basically threatening that if Comey DIDN'T send it, he had agents in the DC field office who would. Also, Chaffetz released the existence of the investigation letter AFTER the FBI had cleared her.

California is charging ahead towards a clean energy future, surpassing 200,000 publicly available EV charging ports across the state. EVs are here to stay — even as Trump sells out American innovation and jobs to China.

My semi-hot take is that Disney stupidly took the Trump admin at their word that Kimmel said what they claimed he said, took him off the air, and THEN reviewed the tape and went "Oh shit." Basically, Kimmel got gamergated.

Jeffries: “Republicans have clearly demonstrated they want to shut the government down…They're not even pretending as if they want to find common ground. Trump agrees to our demand on Saturday to hold a meeting…And then…wakes up Tuesday morning and goes on an unhinged rant and cancels the meeting.”

To leaders around the world: California is your stable and reliable partner in fighting the climate crisis and protecting our environment.

The look I saw on my 9-year-old son’s face when he saw Yosemite for the first time was unforgettable. This is why we need to protect our natural lands. We cannot let Republicans sell out America’s natural world to the cheapest bidder.

Dems will have max 2 years of a trifecta with effectively NO DOJ, NO FEC, NO SEC, NO FBI, NO DHS, NO EPA, and a Supreme Court which will prevent them from undoing anything that Trump did. That's the reality. And it will be worse because instead of 235 Trump appointed judges, there will be 400.
