Speaker Johnson is fighting release of the Epstein files

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to. The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time. I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

House Republicans have worked a total of 14 days since July 25th. You can’t blame a shutdown on Democrats when the entire Republican Party hasn’t even bothered to show up for work.

Republicans are trying to hoodwink Democrats. News broke on Jen Psaki’s show last night: Thune claims they’ll “negotiate” on healthcare if Dems cave and pass a clean CR. Elizabeth Warren called out the obvious: Republicans wouldn’t negotiate on healthcare when the government was open before…

TY @jules1212.bsky.social This absolutely true. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov Don't end the shut down until they agree to talk about Trump's radical rein of terror. #ImpeachTrumpNOW

We’re challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s illegal moves from all angles, every day. We will never back away from the fight to protect people and communities.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Cancel all of them. ALL of them. Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson, Russell Peters, Gabriel Iglesias, Wayne Brady, Jeff Ross, Tom Segura and Hannibal Buress, Dave Chappelle, Louie CK and Bill Burr. There are consequences for unethical actions. They want to joke about free speech, let's silence them.

"Critics are questioning the military role in policing." Fucking msm. This from @todayshow.com This is horrifying, illegal, an abuse of power, a violation of Posse Comitatus. It's not a QUESTION. It's not unusual or controversial. It's AUTHORITARIANISM. Minimizing is not helping. @nbcnews.com

Pennsylvania, you gotta do better than @fetterman.senate.gov That guy is not in the game.

“50 thousand low income, working class Americans will die every year.”

I heard him acknowledge that the president is unhinged….

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Trump should be impeached. Yesterday he told military officials he plans to use American cities as training grounds for military wars and invasions. He told the GOP not to negotiate with Democrats. He wanted the government shut down so he could fire more federal employees.

The day before Jan 6, the 10 living Secretaries of Defense wrote about the danger of politicizing the military. Their words are essential rereading today. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Before he destroys everything. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

They ended DEI because they wanted "meritocracy," but they don't want to burden them with expectations of actual merit worthy performance. Mistakes, fine. Discrimination allowed. Violate rules of engagement, fantastic. War crimes, great. Terrorize, hunt and kill the enemy, aka US.

Uh this is legit bonkers. Well I guess we know who to blame for the shutdown.

They've got to go.

Release the files! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Video credit: @nickmuller703 on TT

If you are selling merch I want on Etsy or anywhere else, and you are also hawking maga or Kirk merch, you can kiss that sale goodbye. Just saying.

The government is going to shut down because the GOP thinks they won't get blamed, and eventually the Dems will cave. If Americans are hurt as a result, they don't care. They only care about appeasing the President and making Dems take the hit.

Suspect in Grand Blanc, Michigan church shooting identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford. White, non transgender, allegedly a marine veteran. With a Trump sign on his lawn and US Flags in his truck bed. MAGA? One of YOU. Again. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

And the problem isn't trans women!

If you are willing, share the town you'll attend, so people can find each other on here! Wouldn't it be fun to meet people you follow on here and don't know are local to you? I'll either be in Boston, or Northampton, MA. Anyone else?

Shouldn't Schumer and Jeffries tell Trump: Sorry, can't make it to the White House to chat tomorrow! You say a major city is so 'war-ravaged' as to require deploying federal troops authorized to use 'Full Force' against U.S. citizens. So we feel a responsibility to head to Portland to take a look.

Reminder from CPAC.

The whole world should be furious!

I talked this week with Chris Hayes and Anand Giradahadras, highlight was Chris mentioning No Kings protests on October 18th. Free speech is action not spectacle. Please join in. www.nokings.org

The whole world should be reacting to this!

I'm so sick of the media framing the GOP as "small government." I mean, yeah, if by small government you mean OLIGARCHY. FFS, @msnbc.com , @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social DO BETTER!

If you attend, work for, once went to, or plan to send your kids to a University of California school, write to the presidents and board of regents and demand UC stand up to Trump's attempts to bribe and cower the greatest public unvierstiy system in the world: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/u...

I checked who's advertising on The Daily Caller in this article, and it looks like Walmart is running an ad on their site right now. I reached out to them to tell them I can't shop there if this is the sort of rhetoric they are associating with their brand.

This aged well...
