Who here feels like they’re getting maximum transparency on the Epstein files

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Democrats need to articulate a clear plan, dare I call it Project 2028, which talks to their vision for America. So not just opposition to Trump, but what is the vision that we can get a 65% coalition behind?

A billionaire donor got a huge chunk of it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The turnout numbers are fantastic today. We need to sustain this if we want to avoid violence. We need to turn these protests into a movement, a way to build community, and way to show how our culture is stronger than theirs will ever be.

The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

All those former Pentagon reporters should cover No Kings today 🚫👑

Dozens of costumed roller skaters gathered in the south waterfront Thursday night, where they rolled their way down to the ICE building to create an impromptu roller rink and dance party. "We are full of love & acceptance, and will do everything we can to protect our community and promote love!"

Wisdom from Schoolhouse Rock.

This is how Andrew Cuomo thinks we should respond to authoritarianism.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January. Today it has two. See how this works?

4. After Trump's announcement, the share price of Trilogy Metals increased from about $2 to $7. The value of Paulson's shares increased from $30 million to $100 million.

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson. Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million. This week, Trump returned the favor. Follow along for details.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in modern history. From taking a $400 million jet to selling his own crypto to donors, he is using the presidency to make himself richer every single day.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Pinks open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

A Republican Trump supporter pleads guilty to child sex abuse charges. Think it’s Epstein? Think again. MAGA is avoiding talking about it, but I'm covering the criminal case of TX megachurch pastor, Robert Morris, & why Republicans are the biggest hypocrites of them all. youtu.be/pVqRxNDtKFs?...

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Pointing this out is now a deportable offense though.

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown. This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Rep. Raskin: People need those ACA tax credits. They're not going to be able to afford a 30-50% increase in premiums, which means they're simply going to be without health insurance. In the meantime, Trump is building a gilded ballroom for their billionaire donors to have some more black tie dinners

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

Trump orders the military and law enforcement to arrest people for burning the flag. This is an illegal order. In the 1989 case of Texas v. Johnson, the US Supreme Court (including Justice Scalia) ruled that flag burning laws are unconstitutional.

BREAKING: sources say NARA has forced out Dr. Todd Arrington, the federal director of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, after he declined to allow the Trump administration to remove a sword from the library for a gift to King Charles lastcampaign.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

I've been waiting for a good voice to pick up the Argentina/Soybean scandal. Dan Osborn now has. www.centralnebraskatoday.com/2025/10/02/d...

Official VA emails advising veterans and federal employees to blame the "Radical Left" for the shutdown instead of Trump are facing criticism for using government channels for partisan propaganda, which violates the Hatch Act.

Pharma companies "are the tip of the iceberg. .. The Trump administration is pursuing deals across up to 30 industries .. offering tariff relief in exchange for concessions, .. designed to deliver political wins .. before the 2026 midterm elections." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/business/hea...

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

As we were saying less than a year ago 👉

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
