We're seeing a confluence of events that has reversed the GOP's lead on 'the economy', and it is their own fault: Rising grocery prices, dumb tariffs, soaring health care premiums, blatant corruption, foreign country bailouts, and tone-deaf vanity projects. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-show...

The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, which used to sit south of the East Colonnade, was torn up as part of the East Wing demolition this week, according to NBC News.

We are literally at war to save our democracy!! Blue states, all Americans who care about our country - GLOVES OFF!!

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Republican gerrymandering is a fire raging across our democracy. While legacy media has moved on, Democracy Docket is covering its every development with depth and expertise. Support its pro-democracy mission and 21 person team by subscribing today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

During our Signal exchange, I twice asked Halligan why the Letitia James indictment refers to "thousand(s)" of dollars in rental income reported on "tax form(s)." She did not respond. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

"While the indictment alleges that James made "thousand(s)" from rental income, sources tell ABC News that prosecutors found no record of James collecting rent from her niece beyond $1,350 that James reported on her 2020 tax return..." abcnews.go.com/US/evidence-...

Despite holding out Costa Rica as an option, DOJ has just publicly filed a notice in Abrego Garcia suggesting that it's identified the Republic of Liberia as the next country that's willing to accept Abrego Garcia (after it was rejected by/unable to make a deal with Ghana, Eswatini, & Uganda). FFS.

This is what we have turned into👇👇 Fox News congratulated George Santos on getting out of prison after his commutation. He was convicted of ruining the lives of disabled veterans by stealing their charity money. That's what they're celebrating. 🤦‍♂️Every veteran should hear this as too..the world

The East Wing’s destruction spotlights an absentee first lady Melania Trump has been silent on her husband's decision to bulldoze her office space in favor of a massive golden ballroom.

Q: On this ad that President Trump was referring to about Canada and Ronald Reagan, have you seen the ad yourself? KEVIN HASSETT: I'm not gonna talk about that

🚨Last night, the Tucson community gathered to OPPOSE the use of a facility for ICE’s detention camp. ✊🏼 This is what democracy looks like. Use it while you can! 1/2

The conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are getting worse. This is why we keep coming back. Our neighbors are not alone. You can join us in demanding transparency + accountability at 1930 Beach Street.

Color me shocked. They’re ALL such goddamn hypocrites.

NEW: In frequent, hyperbolic public remarks, Trump is ramping up pressure on the Supreme Court to uphold his tariffs, claiming apocalyptic consequences. He's even threatened to attend oral argument, something there's no record of any sitting president doing. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

New ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting. Recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards. Some were dismissed because ICE training leaders learned that they had pending criminal charges.

Today, at 3pm, I’ll be on @msnbc.com along with @sbg1.bsky.social and Franklin Foer, to discuss the renewed call to allow Donald Trump serve a third term, despite the Constitution’s text and longstanding American constitutional tradition. Tune in!

My job is to educate the public and explain the law. If you want people to oppose something because it isn’t lawful or anathema to our constitutional tradition, they have to know what the law is and where those principles come from.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right?? www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Inflation report set to be released shows inflation higher than it’s been in more than a year. Tarriffs are pushing prices higher. And unemployment is rising. The GOP always wrecks the economy. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AnNsZNrsURFe...

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is threatening to arrest top California officials.

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

“.. It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic ..” @pbsnews.org www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

If I were the rest of the world, I’d do my best to ignore the United States for the next 3 plus yrs. With this madman in the White House, the rest of the world can’t trust the United States. As long as this madman is in the White House, the United States is not a force for good.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

I'm sure the guy who was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records is handing these private payments for the $300 million ballroom with the utmost integrity

Priorities.

I obtained ~dozens of hours~ of previously unreported recordings of Russ Vought's briefings from 2021 to 2024. Want to hear the recordings yourself? Watch @propublica.org's new mini-documentary about Vought 👇 THE SHADOW PRESIDENT www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Lu...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud. Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

Epstein Memorial Ballroom?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Republicans are letting FoodShare programs run out so that they can further gut Medicaid to give their billionaire buddies a tax break. https://www.wqow.com/news/wisconsin/wisconsin-foodshare-funding-halted-700000-face-food-insecurity/article_2d7f12a5-ed07-5557-b1ad-310859cc6dc8.html
