The man who doesn’t read and can’t handle a briefing furloughed the people guarding America’s most dangerous weapons.

An utterly morally bankrupt president. Can we the taxpayers sue? "Compensation is typically covered by taxpayers. Two people familiar with the president’s legal claims said that he had not been paid by the federal government but that he expected to be." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Hey Mike Johnson, let’s see who showed up for what you called the “Hate America” rally.

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

Today in San Francisco

Jeffries: "They care about George Santos and freeing him than they do about providing healthcare to everyday Americans."

5-7 million people in a day is outside the mainstream? Republicans just keep spewing out nonsense. "Republicans sought to portray protesters as far outside the mainstream and a prime reason for the government shutdown, now in its 18th day." apnews.com/article/no-k...

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Great to be part of this.

Thanks for the pic, @dailycaller.bsky.social ! Be sure to tag me and @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social with your best, most fun #NoKings content!

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power This arch thing is bat shit loonery

WSJ Editirial: “If Mr. Bolton had praised Mr. Trump in his book, it’s safe to say he wouldn’t have been indicted,” they said. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer. @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

Portland has fallen!

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

California is proud to congratulate FIVE California university-affiliated scholars among this year's Nobel laureates. From quantum computing to clean energy and medical breakthroughs, these trailblazers reflect the strength, innovation, and creativity that define our state.

US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

"'This country,' she wrote, 'has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs.'" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/o...

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians. Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The FCC has no business targeting independent media companies. Protect the First Amendment. Follow the law.

I guess it's time for Trump and cohorts to make some money again. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/b...

Lay off employees, then hire them back. Lay off more employees, then hire them back again. The stupid cycle goes on. How many more examples do we need to prove that MAGA doesn't know how to run the government. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

Trump and his administration is out to ruin the country. "For those who are furloughed, however, the White House memo laid out the case that Congress still must explicitly approve funding for any payments to occur." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

#ResistanceRoots Vivion Brewer was born on this day in 1900 in Little Rock, Ark. Brewer and several other white women formed the Women’s Emergency Committee to Open Our Schools after Gov. Orval Faubus closed Little Rock public schools on Aug. 26, 1958, in his fight against desegregation. /1

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

I can think of a few things I can do with this coin lol. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

"Mr. Trump repeatedly referred to Judge Immergut as 'he' and 'him.' 'That judge ought to be ashamed of himself,' he said." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize. California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
