If that's the case, then he's an utterly feckless leader of his caucus.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

There ain’t a blue wave coming in 2026. Nope. Not a wave. There’s a freaking mammoth, once in a generation blue tsunami coming in 2026. Book it.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

And this is what I heard @mikiesherrill.bsky.social say: We have "to try to address the things that are scaring people, to try to make your life a little bit better, to try to just bring some rationality and sanity to a world that right now isn’t making a lot of sense.”

Zohran Mamdani: "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Just thinking back to how I was feeling a year ago. This is better.

This is looking like a very good night for democracy and sanity. What a relief.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Days after CBS cancelled John Dickerson’s show, and he announced his departure from the network, Dickerson was awarded a Walter Cronkite Award:

Laura Loomer is now officially part of the Pentagon press corps. We live in Idiocracy.

We applaud Virginia Democrats for doing everything they can to help level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps. As Trump and his GOP allies try to grab permanent control of the House, blue states must continue to fight back — we urge Democrats in Illinois and Maryland to take similar action.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Next week, the Fed is meeting to decide interest rates, but they'll have to do it without the most recent jobs data. The data is ready to go, but the Trump Admin is just sitting on it. What do they have to hide? Release the data.

Here they are- donors for destruction of WH

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

This blatant antisemitism is coming from a member of Jack’s inner circle. Jack could have condemned it but instead sang his praises. Absolutely disgraceful.

Must read. 👇🏼 Republicans: Do something...before it is too late. 🇺🇲

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

South Korea: #NoKings! Thousands of people came to show support to the US democracy!

War zone in Ann Arbor #NoKings

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Argentina. Qatar. Trump is selling out America, piece by piece. Where did America First go?

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

He cannot govern. He's trying to rule. Let's stop him on Oct. 18. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #nokings Info here: indivisiblelasvegas.org/no-...

THIS. 👇🏼 Take Note.

Michigan Avenue right now.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown. There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law. You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.

It should be referred to as a Kavanaugh stop.

I talked this week with Chris Hayes and Anand Giradahadras, highlight was Chris mentioning No Kings protests on October 18th. Free speech is action not spectacle. Please join in. www.nokings.org

Can someone please explain to the guy speaking at the United Nations that he did not end 7 wars and everyone knows he is a liar. Oh, he does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. And please, ask him about the EPSTEIN files.
