After the Portland ruling, Illinois is now taking action. The state filed a lawsuit today seeking to block the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.

Is there any other oversight of cabinet members? Treasury, IRS & SSA must be separate entities. @wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @muellershewrote.com

Anyone who follows these orders is a traitor to the United States.

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.   Join the campaign: www.amymcgrath.com

Share with all you know in the military, no matter their rank! They need a reminder.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

"The twentieth century’s worst episodes did not begin with gunfire. They began with named categories—“parasites,” “vermin,” “degenerates,” “enemies of the people”—ways of talking that prepared the ground for ways of acting." newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Father Michael Pfleger calls out Trump’s cruel cuts: $2.4M slashed from SNAP, hitting 360,000 Illinoisans, and $500M ripped from Medicare & Medicaid, threatening hospitals, nursing homes & lives. “The real state of emergency is America itself.” #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Rural Americans are staring down a 107% spike in health insurance premiums if ACA tax credits expire. Republicans chose billionaire tax breaks over farmers, ranchers & working families. Everyone pays the price for #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown. Tell a friend.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region. We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

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

The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment. But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.

A coalition of unions in the federal sector signed on to an extraordinary @fedworkersunited.bsky.social letter urging the Democrats to fight Trump administration cuts, even at the price of a government shutdown. labornotes.org/2025/10/will...

We’re suing to demand the Trump-Vance admin release records explaining their use of AI to undermine policies that protect millions of Americans. Deregulation puts wages, health, and safety at risk. The public has the right to know if unreliable AI tools are replacing expert opinion in this process.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

I want to thank all the veterans across this country who have reached out to me in solidarity after the Trump administration illegally leaked my unredacted military file to Jack's campaign ally. You deserve to know that your private information is safe.

The opinion explores in detail how officials publicly framed ordinary protest as "supporting Hamas." It's important to do this when you're a judge. You cannot allow the government to say one thing loudly and repeatedly on the airwaves and then claim something entirely different in court.

let's see how america's top news outlets are addressing the fact that the president declared war on his fellow americans and told his generals to prepare for battle in american cities

The More You Know 💥 🙄

President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget is illegally trying to keep the public in the dark about how our tax dollars are spent—and it’s using FOOTNOTES to try to get around transparency law. We’re fighting back in court. 🧵

🚨🚨🚨 This country has quickly lost control; states rights are no more. PLEASE listen to Governor Pritzker and know that what is happening in CA, IL, NY, OR, etc., will be in your city/state sooner than you think. 1/2

DEAR CONGRESS: You MUST ASK the Pentagon to release COST and PURPOSE details for the Quantico event, especially UNDER a shutdown threat. GET ALL THE RECEIPTS. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, America

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

BREAKING: Live footage of Trump’s entourage at the UN. 😂

Hey SM

My name is Bayly, I am 17 years old, and I'm starting my freshman year at UNC in 2 weeks. I've been working as the Chief of Staff at Voters of Tomorrow for over 2 years now, and I cannot be more excited to get to help elect Roy Cooper. Can you repost to spread our work?

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

Vote yes on 50 to save democracy, CA! Volunteer from any state to help California save all 50 states from Trump's massive power grab.(Voters won't see your number or name-we use a dialer app) Stopelectionrigging.com to volunteer or donate. If not you, who?

Democrats are fighting for a budget that puts people first—protecting healthcare, lowering costs, and ensuring government works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. Republicans would rather force a shutdown. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Basically, you can get fired as a government employee for doing what Jerry Jones and Jaime Dimon did in 2020

Decades from now, people will have a hard time believing that an entire political party covered up a child sex trafficking ring in order to protect wealthy, powerful men and a president who raped children.

Stephen King is now the most banned author in America. Bravo sir, keep making good trouble. 💙

The Department of Homeland Security is under fire after releasing a video of immigration raids spliced with Pokémon imagery and set to the franchise’s iconic theme song — a stunt critics blasted as “ICE propaganda for kids” and that has already drawn calls for Nintendo to intervene.

The clock is ticking. If Congress doesn’t permanently extend the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits, 22 MILLION people will see a 75% spike in their health insurance premiums - and EVERYONE’S costs will go up. This is a health care crisis working families can’t afford.

They're going to use the Comey case to break the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia, just like they used the Adams case to break the office in the Southern District of New York.

How would you be responding if you knew the people running your country were unleashing the full power of the government to prosecute, abduct, disappear, silence and intimidate whomever they want?

Boycotts and pressure works.

I support Democrats who are pushing to make ACA subsidies permanent so families can keep their coverage and stop living on the edge. WHO’S WITH ME⁉️ #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

This is what unity looks like.

Type of shit is this. These are sitting members of Congress getting treated like this.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Make these days shop at local mom and pop store days. Spending strikes really hurt these folks. Boycott corporations instead.

Mikie Sherrill’s military records were ILLEGALLY leaked to fuel a smear campaign & they found nothing to use! This is still an attack on every veteran who served with honor. Dems are demanding an investigation & accountability because NO ONE is above the law, even Republicans. #VoteNJ
