NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

MAJOR BREAKING: In a late-night order, Judge Immergut, a Trump-appointee, has BLOCKED Trump from deploying the National Guard from ANY state or D.C. into Oregon.

An aspiring tyrant in the making… Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government speech: “Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”

Pathetic

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

They love to hate, its gives them the dopamine hit like normal people get when they see and make others happy. Puppies gross them out, "disgusting shit machines" and they have no regard for anyone whos isn't just like them. They want to live in a white version of North Korea.

History repeats.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Spot on.

An interesting point raised elsewhere: these boats that the United States is striking don't appear to have the fuel capacity/storage capacity to even reach American shores.

ABOLISH ICE. Pass it on.

My mother called Speaker Johnson’s office this afternoon to talk about the shutdown and to tell them that her healthcare costs went up 125% as of this week — she was excited because a staffer answered; then they hung up on her.

Healthcare is good for people. We are more healthy, more productive and live longer. Here in Brasil there exists a free universal healthcare program, next to a system of private clinics. I don't know who...but somebody is making lots of money because nobody pays as much on healthcare as you guys.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

ok sure but that's like the Hill equivalent of going to Applebee's

Please.

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

I could not be prouder of the work my firm is doing to protect voting rights and voters from the current Department of Justice.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Swear her in.

THE TRUMP ECONOMY: US private sector businesses LOST 32,000 jobs in September, far below the expected gain of 51,000, per payroll processor ADP. August has been revised DOWN by 57,000, to -3,000.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Right wing media might hate it, but we will never stop fighting for voting rights. "Plaintiffs working with Democratic operative Marc Elias’ law firm oppose the deal, according to a court document filed Monday." www.carolinajournal.com/gop-groups-n...

This.

It’s still insane and disturbing to me that our troops went from being led by decorated 4-star Generals to a small disrespectful trashy idiotic Fox Propagandist rapist drunkard who installed a makeup area for himself at the Pentagon. Makes me sick every time I think about it.

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

MAGA believes anything they say. Dems know better, but a year to midterms is a long way off. I actually believe this is about delaying the 218 Dem rep and release of the Epstein files!!! Geeeus. Whatever is in there must be HUGE.

Is your senator one of the #PedophilePeople? I wonder if they're voting to hide the #Epstein files because they're in it?

If you think you’re having a crap day, take comfort in knowing there are multi-star Generals who were ordered to fly halfway around the world to listen to a nut job drone on about his election numbers.

"I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape or in combat units with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men" - Pete Hegseth, defense secretary

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.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans and two voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ's lawsuit seeking Michigan’s complete, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.
