Tell Congress How Dangerous RFK Jr. is to Nurses and Patients Today! act.medicare4all.org/letter/rfk-v...

Workers are being threatened with RIFs, and when asked whether all federal employees would receive back pay after the shutdown, Trump replied, “It depends on who we’re talking about.” It’s the classic government motto: the beatings will continue until morale improves.

“They have to come to work. You got to show up. That’s your job,” Duffy said. Maybe someone should let the House know they have to work too.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Trump really said “shut down the government” and then used it as an excuse to fire thousands of federal workers. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

There's a back-and-forth going on in the filings in the James Comey criminal case.... over how evidence/discovery will be handled. This is quite an argument filed by the defense to attest to Comey's ability to handle materials =====>

Great thread on the distinctive political culture of Portland, by a US historian who is very much from Portland.

Rescuers in western Alaska are working to find missing residents and help those displaced after ferocious, hurricane-force wind gusts from what once was Typhoon Halong tore through remote, coastal communities, unleashed record-breaking storm surge and shoved homes completely off their foundations.

Nearly all employees within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) were dismissed in Friday’s reduction-in-force, leaving only a few senior officials and administrative staff.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Glasgow, Kentucky voted 76% for Trump. Now their elder care center’s shutting down thanks to his “Big Beautiful Bill.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Good. This is the minimum level of ethics required. But good.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

The Indiana Gerrymandered GOP Supermajority is afraid of letting us vote on their effin undemocratic regressive quality-of-life reducing permitless-carry-approving abortion-banning laws NOW THEY WANT TO GERRYMANDER THEIR GERRYMANDER Get out & vote Cali - for all of us who can't🇺🇸 #F*CKREPUBLICANS

GOP hypocrisy: “bring down the temperature” when it comes to Dems calling out Trump. Meanwhile, he’s cranking up the heat, falsely painting Democrats as violent radicals with zero evidence in order to justify sending troops into LA, Chicago, DC, and Portland. It’s all part of the Project 2025 plan.

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

Trump saw one old clip on Fox and decided Portland was “war-ravaged.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trump wants credit for ending conflicts abroad while waging war here at home.

GOOD NEWS: A coalition of solar energy companies, labor unions, nonprofits, and homeowners is suing the Trump EPA over its termination of the Solar for All program. Solar for All would help 900,000 American households get access to solar power and save them $350 million each year on utility costs.

Meiselas: A reporter asked the question that I've been saying over and over again to MAGA Mike: do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your health care plan? To me, this is probably the most important clip about what's going on with the government shutdown, because the Republicans have no plan.

Things just keep getting more bizarre. The propaganda machine is in full swing the Transportation Security Administration has asked airports to display a video message from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

if anybody is good at lip reading or can isolate the audio, I'd be very curious to learn more about what these two were talking about here. it certainly didn't sound on the level.

I love Giorgia Meloni’s eye roll, lol. 👀

Crazy week.

Wayne National Forest was established to stop environmental degredation after coal mining and logging destroyed miles of pristine woodlands. Thanks to Trump's recent executive order targeting 100 million acres of U.S. forests, however, Ohio's sole national forest could be destroyed once again.

Tariff money is not a Trump Regime slush fund. It is tax money deposited into the US treasury and Congress has sole authority over the appropriation of tax dollars.

JD Vance says the fact that Biden and Obama haven't been prosecuted (yet) is proof that Trump's DOJ isn't targeting its opponents. Vance's soul left his body long ago. He's just a robot spewing disinformation at this point.
