Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

You will not find a sadder post on the internet today.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Author unknown. But correctly well stated.

THIS 👇🏻

I also think he is full of shit.. 💩 #shitfacejohnston

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Very concerning, if true.

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

Things like this keep happening.

Amen to this!

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

I was unable to join the No Kings march because I was on a flight back from northwoods paradise to San Diego paradise. Onwards.

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Swear her in.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

Sure, let’s make “if you lie to the public, you’re off the air” the standard. Guess who would go dark immediately?

There goes the First Amendment.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email [email protected] and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

You’d think after their cult leader tried to hang his own VP for not helping him steal an election, they’d be familiar with the notion of right on right crime. Yet it befuddles them to this day.

This you? Just two hours later?

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

It's incredible intellectual gymnastics to accuse the anti-gun Left of causing gun violence. The self-delusion is staggering.

GOP Summary: Groypers vs. Gropers The Groypers are mad at the Gropers for being Gropers and not Groypy enough to manifest their race war fantasies. The Gropers don’t like the Groypers but need them as pawns to keep stoking the threat of race wars. You’re all caught up.

I have no words for this.
