Wannabe dictators always try to silence their critics. We can’t let that happen: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

This is what happens when you take a psychopath who threw rocks at a baby as a kid and you build a whole political party around him.

With trump acting more and more like an unhinged dictator, millions Americans are ready to reject him in the "No Kings Day" peaceful protest Saturday. And MAGA is terrified of it. 🚨LIVE on my YouTube at 6:00PM

So, is waging a domestic war part of the official duties under the office of the President of the United States of America?

Bless you all!

The Supreme Court has set the December calendar. The big campaign finance case, NRSC v. FEC, will be heard on Tuesday, Dec. 9. I will be arguing for the Democratic Party Intervenors in defense of the law and against the GOP petition.

“When the framers of the Constitution wrote the First Amendment, they did not intend people to take it literally,” Johnson said.

Zelenskyy is taken aback by a question from a right-wing propagandist who asks him what concessions he's willing to make to Putin

As governor, I know @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will deliver for New Jersey. She has the experience and plans to drive down costs – and the integrity, grit, and commitment to service to be the kind of leader we need right now. Make a plan to vote today at mikiesherrill.com.

Pritzker and Democrat governors need to authorize their law enforcement to hold ICE accountable for unlawful use of force. They absolutely have the right. How much more terror do people have to experience at the hands of Trump's Gestapo?

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers. It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

They’ve gone after students for criticizing Israel, while downplaying racist anti-semitism from their “young republicans”. They’ve outlawed the patriotic notion of anti-fascism. They’re going after anyone critical of their corrupt, authoritarian regime. Doesn’t feel like we’re rolling in freedom.

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient. To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

Who’s eating the tariffs? You, mostly. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/t...

Pritzker: "It's clear that Donald Trump has diminished capacity, which I think is sad -- that the people around him are not getting him help, and instead they're just taking advantage of him. And that's what Stephen Miller is."

If Adelita Grijalva was a Republican, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago to the office she was elected to. If she wasn’t the deciding signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago. All his bs excuses are lies.

JUDGE ELLIS: “.. At least from what I’m seeing, I’m having serious concerns that my order’s being followed.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/u...

I'm just stating the obvious!

JD Vance thinks we should forget about the leaked messages of the Young Republicans, who are ages 35, 31, 29, 28, 27, 27, 24 & 24 years old. Evidently their slurs don’t matter bc they are too young so it doesn’t count. Hey maybe this is why so many Republicans think it’s okay to fck children?? 🤔

Speaker Johnson’s smarmy-voiced, patronizing lies don’t fool us. We know he’ll do anything to avoid swearing elected AZ Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva—the last vote we need to release the Epstein files. He’ll even give the House an extended paid vacation instead of negotiating to end the shutdown.

As a society, we don't talk enough about the primary benefit of WFH: High quality toilet paper.

50 years ago, School House Rock debuted “No More King” to teach kids why America has no king. 📺 Tomorrow, we reinforce that in the USA, there are still “No Kings” & we're united against any emerging. Stand with us at your event: https://nokings.org

SWANSON: If you look at data, the US is losing manufacturing jobs, spending on factory construction is down big, manufacturing is still shrinking as share of the economy. S&P Global estimates that tariffs will cost businesses upwards of $1.2t in 2025 ... PETER NAVARRO: The economics are wrong

New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid. Who thinks that sounds good? ✋

Thursday's Thought - The NYTimes has an article about the Felon stripping funding for New York's Hudson Tunnel. First of all this money had previously been appropriated and the work is in progress. This is Illegal. He tried the same with a wind project where I live in CT. The court overturned it

JUST IN: Judge Mehta threatens contempt and bar sanctions for attorney Carolyn Stewart — who has repped numerous Jan. 6 defendants and pardon recipients — over filing a motion with “fabricated” citations to local rules and refusing to correct it.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

John Thune and Mike Johnson wanted to lead their party. They need to stop playing kid's games and start negotiating. You are only hurting yourself in the long run. #USDemocracy 2paragraphs.com/2025/10/u-s-...

He does have a lot more income now that the money is rolling in from the quotas. Time for 12,000 sq ft

Rep. Mike Rogers: "The group that manages our nuclear stockpile -- the carryover funding they've been using is about to run out. They will have to layoff 80% of their employees. These are not employees that you want to go home."

It will never not be crazy stupid & dysfunctional to me that the government of the United States of America is shut down just to keep its president from being exposed as a serial child sexual abuser. jfc

"it's totally condescending, patronizing, misogynistic... his push to obstruct me getting sworn in... is because I will be the 218th signer to the Epstein files" Rep. Grijalva on Mike Johnson's "bless her heart" comment
