New: Last night in the Senate, Ted Cruz blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.

I put a target on my back by standing up to AIPAC. I’m a Navy veteran challenging Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL). I won’t stop fighting for people—not special interests. The deadline is midnight. Stand with me and chip in $5 today: secure.actblue.com/donate/maria...

The right is calling for Bad Bunny to be deported so he can't perform at the Super Bowl. He was born in Puerto Rico. Should we tell them?

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

But a drag queen reading to children is too much???

Kavanaugh stop

Yes

HERE: Just now, Trump admits it: “A lot of good can come from a shutdown. We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn’t want, and they’d be democrat things.”

The fuck is he talking about here?

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Because Convicted Felon Donald Trump and his regime don't GAF about people who have mobility challenges. Unless they donate big money to him. Then he'll make an exception. Policy must be cruel or line the Convicted Felon's pocket. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for major federal health insurance programs like Medicaid, Medicare or coverage through the ACA. Republicans want to raise your health care premiums sky high but they want you to blame an immigrant instead of them😡 #pinks #vote www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

Again, why is MAGA only able to relate to violence? Why is that their only other language?

this guy has no idea what the american military is (the most sophisticated logistics operation ever assembled in human history)

BREAKING: Just hours before the fiscal year ended, a federal judge in R.I. has ordered the Trump administration to preserve $233 million in FEMA funds it attempted to abruptly steer away from 8 blue states. Without that order, the states would've lost the money at midnight.

Stress-Free Eric Adams Spends Day Bribing Pigeons In Central Park

You know what they say about broken clocks. Trump and I may not agree on a lot, but he was right in this video—if there is a government shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president. youtube.com/shorts/-e_YR...

Forcing all those generals to witness how amateurish and foolish both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are firsthand might increase the chances of illegal orders being ignored in the future.

BREAKING: This is Donald Trump's Shutdown. Rep. Greg Casar: “There are more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.”

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

This isn't what a leader tells their army, it's what a dictator tells them.

You know that scene near the beginning of “Death of Stalin” where the NKVD troops under Beria are arresting and executing people on Stalin’s list? And how Molotov is on the list? That’s what this guy wants to do here.

Thank you, this is the correct headline.

This story has some absolutely brutal quotes and lines.

Quiet part deafeningly loud right here. These are bribes, not settlements. You don’t have to keep paying for YouTube Premium. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

Achieving a $1 trillion tax hike with no Congressional involvement!

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"

I will say, watching the behavior of the Generals today, respectful but reserved and apolitical in the face of Trump was heartening. Hopefully the next generation of officers, the young ones, see that and take it to heart.

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Everyone, meet our newest Congresswoman, Adelita Grijalva! Adelita was elected in a Special Election last Tuesday to fill the seat left by her father, a dear friend and beloved mentor. She was supposed to be sworn in this week—but the Speaker has shut down the House and not sworn her in.

Proud to stand with families & workers who'd be harmed by a Republican government shutdown. It's shameful that Republicans would rather shut down the government than address the healthcare crisis they created. Democrats are ready to fund the government & protect our families.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect the Affordable Care Act. A shutdown puts ACA tax credits at risk—and in Texas, premiums could jump 289%, costing families $459 more each year. (1/2)

(A year ago he claimed he had "concepts of a plan" for health care)

Thinking of the lyrics to War Pigs today. 🎶Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses 🎶

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

If you think that's bad, Congressman, you should see what else the Trump administration is doing.

The Dept. of Homeland Security under Sec. Noem is completely out of control. Her decision to reinstate the officer who assaulted an asylum seeker is clearly viewed by other ICE agents as license to violently attack civilians. If DHS won't police itself then the OIG must step in immediately.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Not only is the Comey indictment a chilling violation of DOJ norms, it’s also riddled with legal problems. My thoughts in The Contrarian.  contrarian.substack.com/p/the-very-b...

Kegsbreath is demonstrating how MAGA can only think and operate on violent terms and conditions.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) is prepared to cave on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown. This cowardly move would allow Republicans to avoid the shame of a shutdown while ripping healthcare away from millions. Call Schumer’s Office and tell him to vote NO: (202) 224-6542

Social dystopia, thy name is OpenAI.

Jeffries: "The next time you have something to say about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake AI video. When I'm back in the Oval Office, say it to my face."

The reaction to Trump’s speech on the GOP side is pretty hilarious. It’s generally “what the fuck was that and why did anyone think it was a good idea?” But they’ll get out on Fox News and talk about how great it was.

I know, everybody's been bombarded by clips from this horrible speech, but this one's worth watching. 🙏
