I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea. Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Stephen Miller asserts that Trump possesses absolute authority, only to abruptly cease speaking as if he has come to a realization of the implications of his statement.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen. Bar none. Period. That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens. She deserves the Nobel Prize

bingo

This guy should have been run out of town a long time ago. He’s a fully compromised Russian stooge.

Heads up friends! South Carolina is AGAIN trying to impose the death penalty on women who seek abortion care. www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina... Sign the petition in opposition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st... Support Palmetto State Abortion fund here: donorbox.org/support-the-...

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered. Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

Last I checked, Congress makes the laws, not the White House.

Spot on.

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

The folks on Fox News are blaming RepAOC for the government shutdown, saying that SenSchumer is terrified she will primary him in the next election. He's not up for reelection until 2028 - THREE YEARS FROM NOW. I provide receipts.

A federal judge has ordered a hearing to determine whether the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia stems from a vindictive prosecution, citing evidence that it may be. Thank you!

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

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

I'm finally looking forward to Russia's disinformation campaign no longer emailing us endless fake news videos about Moldova and Maia Sandu. Guess they won't be getting their bonuses www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How appropriate that this reminds me of a scene from a movie called “Clueless.”

Absolutely disgusted but sadly not surprised by more terrible American behavior. Shameful.

Today, Portland ICE facility. Peaceful protesters came with flowers and signs.

Brutal.

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future. Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom. We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

I’m thinking of everyone in Grand Blanc. This is a heartbreaking tragedy. Whether it’s a church, a school, or a grocery store—every public space in America should be safe from gun violence. So here I am saying it again: we need common sense gun safety laws.

Fuck you USA! Ryder Cup stays with Europe!

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

A silent, inter-faith march near the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. The marchers held flowers. 💐

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

Is Johnson just gonna ride it out at home until he shuts down the government and then blame that?

We are being ruled by the dumbest people on earth.

It’s both heartbreaking and mind-boggling that after a church shooting, the best we have to offer is thoughts and prayers—exactly what the victims were doing.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

Cool story but when are we going to afford beef again?

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

Our mainstream media is pathetically feckless.
