Taiwan has been America’s top screw supplier for over three decades, providing the fasteners that hold together airports, porches, office shelves, and more. But 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum have put the industry at risk. Learn more: https://nyti.ms/4pPKreo

Some furloughed workers at the Education Depart expressed shock to find that their out-of-office email messages had been changed without their knowledge to reflect the Trump administration’s view that the government shutdown was the fault of “Democrat Senators.” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

#Trump is asking us to pay twice for food due to his stupid tariffs-1 Higher grocery prices & 2 Consumers & #Farmers pay for his #Tariffs. Also, the #Soybean market to #China is gone; they’re buying from #Brazil. Thanks #MAGA for voting Trump and screwing our #economy. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Congrats, Trump supporters, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

This is up 9 points from a couple days ago. Keep speaking up!

The latest government shutdown centers on health care. Democrats want Obamacare subsidies extended and GOP Medicaid cuts reversed. Trump and the GOP shut the government and spread false claims about undocumented immigrants. Here’s what’s at stake in a showdown that impacts millions of Americans.

It's now a fireable offense to support gay people.

These AIs are going to be making your healthcare decisions very soon.

A lot of money to whitewash Israel's genocide and crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists, Arabs, Muslims and critics of the broligarchy...

Republicans are lying about who’s to blame for this shutdown so they’ve resorted to blatant partisan hackery on official agency websites. These violations of the Hatch Act are Exhibit A of the Republicans' desperation to divert from the truth: the GOP owns this shutdown. youtu.be/jwqrxcrfsf8?...

I hope CBS journalists straight-up publish as many pro-Palestinian pieces as possible before Bari Weiss comes in. Anything that exposes Israel's genocide, occupation, and apartheid. It won't happen once she gets there. A reason why Ellison is bringing her in.

Desantis blames the Trump admin for FEMA claims not getting processed in FL.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country. Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

This is what Trumpism has wrought.

"[Trump's] 'mental state,' according to Justin A. Frank, a former clinical professor of psychiatry … , 'include[s] so many psychic afflictions' that a 'working knowledge of psychiatric disorders is essential to understanding Trump.'"

I spoke with PBS chief Paula Kerger about the fallout from losing federal funding. “This is the most challenging moment in our system’s history,” she told me. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/pbs-fundin...
