Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

we should take away all their money so they can’t do this

Santaaaaaa

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Oregon Rep. @bynum.house.gov calls President Trump’s threat to use military force in Portland “little boy energy” and says, “the last time Trump sent his goons to town, we ran them out....He knows he lost, and he wants to come back.”

Report from the front line? 💙

Oh, Rebecca, this is exactly what we needed. 😂💕 Watch out for the Antifa Yoga training. It may stretch your quads and calm your minds!

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

I hope military people remember that "I was just following orders" didn't help people in the Nuremberg trials.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

The FDA approved mifepristone for medication abortion 25 years ago today. Since then, millions of people in the U.S. have used it. Over 100 studies confirm its safety. The Trump administration is teeing up new restrictions based on junk science. We won't let them get away with it.

2020: Biden, 51.3% popular vote, 306 EV; Trump, 46.8%, 232 EV 2024: Trump, 49.7% popular vote, 312 EV; Harris, 48.2%, 226 EV

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Nobody asked for this. We don't need or want troops in our city, Mr. President.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

This week, my staff & I were finally able to complete an oversight visit at ICE's Eugene Field Office. Read more about the conditions here & at the statement on my website linked below. My office is here to be a resource & we can help with any ICE related issues or questions.

Mike Johnson adjourned the House until AFTER the government funding deadline John Thune is bringing the Senate back just a day before the deadline Trump refuses to meet with negotiators Republicans are RUNNING AWAY from the health care crisis they created instead of working to avoid a shutdown.

😂💙😂

Trump is sending troops to Portland with the goal of “doing a number” on the city. He wants to stoke fear and chaos and trigger violent interactions and riots to justify expanded authoritarian control. Let’s not take the bait! Portland is peaceful and strong and we will take care of each other.

Preach! @e-linn-indivisible.bsky.social

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Jeeeez

THIS! It's hard to be enthusiastic for GOTV work when Dem leaders are such wimps.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

It's Friday. Buy yourself a book. You deserve it.

absolutely delicious

Shockingly, it turns out there is a limit to what is tolerable. This is an opportunity to be exploited. Record everything. Get loud. And get trained in bystander intervention. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

#goodmorning #bloomscrollers

I knew it!

Donald Trump is refusing to work with Democrats. We want Democrats to fight for actual protections. They will need a lot of support cheering them on to #StandStrongForDemocracy What are you going to do to help them? How will you show up? We get the Party we Demand.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The latest in the Epstein coverup is truly wild. What. The. F—k?

"The people, it turns out, are far more courageous than their leaders." This is the lesson of 2025.

With all that’s going these days, I think of this John Lewis quote to keep me going. May we all remain courageous.

Elon and the feral crypto children who implemented his agenda should be held personally liable for this to the tune of tens of billions of dollars appropriate his fortune and give it back to all the people he aggressively fucked over
