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.

(Reuters) - More than 150,000 federal employees will leave the U.S. government payroll this week after accepting buyouts - the largest single-year exodus of civil servants in nearly 80 years .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

The Felon-in-Chief’s FTC Chair warned CEOs that they will go after companies and torpedo mergers if they support social agendas that they don’t agree with like Black Lives Matter. youtu.be/-ZQhz5segV0?...

Felon-in-chief announces a reduction in Pfizer prices, following the directive for pregnant women to stop taking Tylenol and “tough it out.” It hasn’t even been a year. I reckon stock manipulation isn’t finished.

Release the Epstein files…and the Mueller investigation records, in total and unredacted

His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution. We’re in a very bad place.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

BINGO!

Probably just a coincidence.

First day without federal funding. Support your local PBS stations instead of streaming or cable.

See the difference? 👀

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

Canada really has an opportunity to be a leader on this and I am here for it.

THIS 👇👇👇 💯

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

This is very, very bad.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Are we great yet?

I quite frankly do not understand the shock people are expressing about the GOP desire to demolish healthcare. They've been trying to to that for at least 30 years.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents. www.theverge.com/news/789152/...

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

I asked the FBI to expedite the release of the tape of "border czar" Tom Homan being bribed. FBI said it couldn't see how there wasn't an urgent need to provide the public more information about (checks notes) an active federal official taking bribes and denied expedition of the request.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.” Sign up for a shift and wave 👋🏻 the next time you’re canvassing in Jackson Heights!

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

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

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The "Anti-ICE" shooter targeted only detainees, with bullets bearing "Anti-ICE" instead of the usual "F ICE" slogan, harming no agents. This suggests a false flag operation, indicating the FBI's effort to support a predetermined narrative.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

I expect that my law firm will intervene to fight against the Department of Justice in two more lawsuits today. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.💪🗳️⚖️

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.
