McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

CRUELTY IS THE POINT!

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

"An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a 'perp walk' of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month..."

What many don't realize, is that Ukrainian strikes from last 2 years on russian refineries are always aiming at specific part of refinery. Cracking Units. This basically stops Russia from ability to refine crude into useful fuels. This is why Russian issue of lack of fuels is snowballing.

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/

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Shut your pie hole, you stupid facist Housewife of D.C.!

All of us must show and be a leader in this fight of our lives!

I am signed up and plan to attend in two locations. We do not need no stinkin King!

The IRS says there will be no changes to its operations for the first five days of a government shutdown, thanks to a reallocation of money from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

A government run by billionaires is not “for the people”. It’s for billionaires. It’s why they’re getting billions in subsidies, tax breaks and government contracts. Meanwhile, working class Americans are losing their jobs and healthcare.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

In his own district, Eli Crane is allowing rural hospitals to be crippled while over 50,000 of his constituents lose healthcare. And somehow he still found time to help hide the Epstein files. For the good of Arizona, Eli Crane cannot remain in Congress.

Heroes.

Notice Americans that some 80+% of mass-shootings are RW white supremacist Neo-NAZIS & MAGA Cult sheep, who've taken criminal Trump's fascist hate, xenophobia & social division to heart. Putin/Trump WANT MORE VIOLENCE IN USA as prelude to their planned full fascist authoritarian Prison Police State.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.

How it started.... How it's going .... 💪⚖️🗳️👻

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

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

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

The union warned studios they must bargain in good faith if they want to use an AI-generated performer instead of a human actor, part of a deal struck between studios and the union to end the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Just sitting here wondering if there's cesium-137 in my food. Like we do now.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

Priorities.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

This is the kind of thing we need to see more of. Judges and State Bars have power here and if they start holding the govt attorneys to account you can slow things down dramatically. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right
