After securing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid earlier this year, Trump is now demanding a $230 million payday from the government.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

"We're in the most perilous moment. The biggest threat to our republic since the Civil War. President Trump is shredding our Constitution." Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., is holding the Senate floor and speaking out against Donald Trump. Watch live NOW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1VL...

Their website is conveniently "under construction"... can't event send them an email... acecoworld.com

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

What's next after a hugely successful "No Kings" day? More joyful, patriotic, and peaceful organizing to defend our democracy. Join @indivisible.org and more this evening to be a part of it. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

WATCH LIVE: Sen. Jeff Merkley is still holding the floor, speaking now for more than 13 hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1VL...

If Republicans were hoping that No Kings was just a one-day event, we’ve got some bad news: Last night’s call was the largest that we’ve ever done. No matter where you live, we’re organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power: groups.indivisible.org

Political disagreements should never be settled in the Colosseum. They should always be settled in the arena of ideas. It’s time to end the Republican shutdown and Save Healthcare.

Ezra Levin: A hallmark of authoritarianism is it makes you feel like shit on a daily basis. That's what it does. And so in that environment, during this authoritarian breakthrough moment, celebrating success is an act of defiance. #NoKings @indivisibleguide.bsky.social

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

The House hasn’t voted since September 19 — more than a month ago. Congress can still vote on legislation during a shutdown, but Speaker Johnson and House Republicans have refused to bring the House back into session.

This is insane. If Obama did this the GOP would impeach

What’s next after No Kings Day? What should we do now? How do we use our collective power? I have a dozen simple ideas for next steps. And I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-can-we-do-now

Warren: "Observe the cruelty of what they're doing. I was a Special Ed teacher long before I ever got into this job... They need extra opportunities so they will also have a chance to succeed. Donald Trump wants to just take that away & Republicans are willing to just stand by and watch him do that"

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

This is the No Kings era — Trump just happens to be living in it. Join us tomorrow to discuss what’s next: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Day 21. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until the government reopens.    I’m ready and willing to support a budget that protects health care, invests in our public schools, and lowers costs for working families.

THE GOP IS NOW THE AFP.

7 million marched. I will work on my scrap book today and maybe 50 years from now my grandkids will say “my grandma marched for me!”

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Honored to join the American Canyon community to celebrate The Wall That Heals exhibit — a powerful tribute to the 58,281 Americans who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. As a Vietnam combat veteran, I served alongside many whose names are etched on that wall.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The United States has never been ruled by kings, and this president is no exception. Our strength comes from our shared commitment to democracy. I joined members of our community to stand against this administration’s unjust actions. Together, we defend our rights. Don’t agonize — organize.

Vacaville you're absolutely extraordinary! The turn out was fantastic from boomers to alpha, all were represented and working towards a common cause. Millions of Americans turned out today with a voice loud and strong, #NoKings in America. 3,500 attended #NoKingsVacaville

No Kings Protest in Vienna, Austria

#NoKing #NoKingsParis getting a good crowd!!! Don’t have a sign, but wearing my protest shirt. It’s a nice day in Paris, come and join!

No storm troopers to repel here, so frog is just dancing

Tim Snyder on “the Stephen Miller terror memo about this giant Antifa conspiracy, and therefore we have to have, effectively, a state of emergency. The whole government has to be turned against liberals & Democrats & everybody who tries to organize themselves in the U.S.” youtube.com/watch?v=lW3r...

No costume but we did what we could. #NoKings #Malmö #Sweden

Fantastic weather! What a great crowd! We sang, we chanted, we shared. We had participants from not only from Malmö and Lund but also Copenhagen, Göteborg, Ystad and Uppsala! and…. we even had sharks! Thank you to all who joined! #NoKings #NoKingsMalmö #DemocratsAbroad #DemocratsAbroadSweden

Trump’s Department of Education actively collaborates w/ Moms for Liberty. Asked “what % of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told ProPublica: “‘I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.’” 1/ www.propublica.org/article/educ...

New in PN: How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history "If you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis."

The truth is, Vance is fine with Hitler worship because he is the willing understudy of another monstrous authoritarian whose scalding contempt for diversity is decimating a nation. Vance is not an aberration or an outlier on the Right; he is the baseline. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hitler-has...

Tactical frivolity. Laughtivism. Ridicule. Don't let them take your joy or your power.

You should do what Barbra Streisand tells you

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

I'll see your mom there

#NoKingsVacaville Rally Vacaville City Hall October 18th 10:00 am - 11:30 am Join us in our Peaceful protest On Saturday, we wear yellow. It symbolizes our peaceful resistance. It's a reminder that millions of us stand together in the belief that America belongs to its people — not to kings. ❌👑

For the performative Christians who came in late: Charlie Kirk wasn't a martyr. He was against everything Jesus lived and taught... and he'd have hated Jesus. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-shamef...

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.
