I saw the FBI came to someone’s home because of online statements. What I learned: 1) RECORD THEM ON VIDEO 2) ASK FOR FULL ID - photo, name position. RECORD IT 3) DON’T tell them SHIT 4) assert your first amendment rights to post opinions online 5) shame them 6) close the door 7) eat your pizza

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

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 why Trump so wanted the shutdown. He can now: fire federal employees at will. defund healthcare - insurers are raising premiums already. let farmers go bankrupt and send $20B to Argentina. give his SIL a job in the Gaza Peace Plan. Jared collected $2B for the last one. And much more…

Gulp! Lawrence O’Donnel predicts a 1929-style result if Trump returns the tariff money he illegally took.

RIP Jane Goodall Thank you for bringing attention to the plight of primate populations and to climate change. You will be missed.♥️

Ad Vance says that Dems are responsible for the shutdown, remember: Dems want to preserve access to healthcare funding Trump”s shutdown in his 1st term was the longest in US history. Trump boycotted negotiations. He wanted a shutdown. Trump wants to be king and the shutdown helps.

“The most hopeful thing I’ve seen in a long time.”

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

Dems want to restore healthcare funding, like for the Affordable Care Act subsidies that the Republicans Big Ugly Bill will wipe out this year. Trump wants more $$ for tax cuts for the wealthy. I know who deserves my support. Do you?

Clearly, Trump and the Republican party are to blame. You must start voting Blue if you want your benefits back. The Democrats are fighting like hell for the American people, while the Republican people shit on you and lie to your face. Who's in the Epstein file folks????? bsky.app/profile/logi...

Look at the faces of our generals—forced to listen to a 34-time convicted felon and 5-time draft dodger who called our Veterans “suckers” & “losers.” 😡 Gen. Kelly: Trump “fits the general definition of fascist” & admired Hitler’s generals. Gen. Milley: “Fascist to the core.”

The federal government is shutting down because the Trump admin chose chaos and taking a swing at the Affordable Care Act over responsible governing. Our message is clear: fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Imagine crossing ten time zones to hear that.”

Did Trump just tell the military that they should use US cities as training grounds?

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

I just signed legislation allowing private sector workers to petition the state Public Employee Relations Board if the National Labor Relations Board fails to uphold their rights. We’ll keep fighting for the workers that keep our state running and our economy booming.

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

It has become quite obvious that Trump hates the majority of Americans.

You have to hand it to the generals. Unlike so many other people in this country, they know how to conduct themselves in public. They know they are supposed to be apolitical. So they greeted Trump's political speech with silence. And you could have heard a medal drop when Pete Hegseth finished.

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…

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

Don’t Let Anyone Tell You That You Have to Settle open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Trump just told the top echelon of the Navy how they should build battleships. What is next? Will he instruct the Air Force to put more steel in the Stealth Bombers?

One thing I know for sure, notwithstanding “med beds” and cannabis, nothing lasts forever.

So now Trump is going to send the military to every Blue State, authorized to use full force against US citizens?! I remember when Trump threatened to not send the Covid vaccine to Blue States. What kind of —— ( fill in the blank) . Who does that?! This must stop! www.cnbc.com/2020/11/13/t...

“The Lady is a Tramp”🎶🎼🎵 Looks like Governor Newsom is smoking them out. Good job Governor!

There was never a government shutdown under Biden. Obviously, he is a much better negotiator than Donald. The longest shutdown in history was 35-days long, in. 2018–2019, under the 1st first Trump administration. Looks like Trump is looking for another record. www.congress.gov/crs-product/....

Is Mike Johnson really a Christian? How can he justify not swearing in Adelita Grijalva to prevent the final signature needed to force the release of the Epstein files? All major religions, including Christianity, explicitly condemn child abuse as a profound moral evil Do what is he hiding?

He’s lying to you. He’s playing you. He’s purposely stoking division & hate. He’s a fascist. We don’t put the military on our streets. Not here. Not in this country. Freedom, not fascism. Fuck him. We are all Portland.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

“We’ve got a big harvest coming in here in South Dakota and no place to go with it.” John Thune. Why? China has not bought soybeans from the US since May retaliating for tariffs. They are buying from Argentina and Brazil Thune talks about a bailout for loss of business. Seems counterproductive.

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.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

I do not remember any government shutdowns when President Biden was in charge.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump lying about Portland being a war zone isn't insanity. It is a carefully calculated lie invented by Stephen Miller, cynically intended to provide a pretext for seizing authoritarian power. It isn't random madness, it's calculated fascism.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

About those &17 Trillion dollars from tariffs. Where are they?! “The federal government's cumulative deficit for fiscal year 2025 was $2.0 trillion at the end of August—1% higher than the same time last year.” Huh?

“Many people have died over the years in Portland”, says Trump. Another absurd quote to remember.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Never in my wildest nightmares did I envision a US president sending troops to a US state, telling them to use “full force” against the population, but Trump just did. www.bbc.com/news/article...

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