NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The British press doesn’t mince words. 🇬🇧

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Clarity: Trump and Republicans are starving people and taking away their healthcare, simply because they know Democrats won’t negotiate on those things… and that impasse allows them to withhold the Epstein Files. In other words… any offense will suffice, if it means pedophiles are protected.

I don't like to share too many of these videos because they're upsetting. However, I feel compelled to share this one so we can see what's being done in our name, and with our tax dollars. IT'S WRONG! IT'S IMMORAL! IT'S DEPRAVED!

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Without anyone saying a word, everyone involved in this episode knew the risks and the safest path forward. They know, instinctively, how to survive in a declining media organization for one more day — please Trump, Weiss, and Ellison, and everyone’s happy. Piss them off and watch out.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

There are NO KINGS in America—our Constitution is very clear that no president can serve more than 2 terms. This is the LAW, not a suggestion and no wannabe dictator can change that.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump “should pay a political price for his brazen corruption,” the editorial board writes. Instead, by reportedly demanding that the Justice Department hand him $230 million, “he is telling American taxpayers to pay a price, directly to him.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Are we allowed to contact The Hague? Like on our own behalf?

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

ICYMI — @gallego.senate.gov : "The only reason Adelita Grijalva is not being sworn in right now is because he wants to protect whatever is in those files. Arizona does not have a congresswoman right now, during flooding, because Speaker Johnson is covering for pedophiles."

Ladies, your forbearers would like a word with you. The #CupOfJoe that they’ve served for years is full of fire. Don’t stay silent. Your rights are on the line. Don’t let what we fought for die due to your complacency. #NoKingsDayOct18th

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

🚨Officer Michael Fanone keeping it short and sweet. ✊🏼

Everything is for sale.

Congress made their pay permanent. Military pay? No. Could congress fix it? Instantly. But why would the arsonists turn off the gas while they’re still warm and well-fed? They are fake patriots, fake christians who see everyone as disposable. “Respect the troops” means paying them!

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America. They just want to kill Americans.

Abolish ICE. Pass it on.

If Starbucks’ baristas molested children with the regularity of Christian pastors and priests, you wouldn’t have been able to get your hands on a pumpkin spice latte in decades.

This is what America has come to. Anyone who supports this is a monster 🤬 We need accountability chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

It should be clear to every American that the Current Occupant of the White House will do anything, including destroying America, to divert attention from the EPSTEIN files and to avoid releasing them. He is actively punishing Americans and threatening more punishment to distract you.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Ron Brownstein: “Do we want to live in a country where the president can, in effect, order the Justice Department to find a crime for someone who he dislikes or disfavors? It was the Head of Stalin’s Secret Police who famously said: ‘Give me the man and I will find the crime.’”

We need to build a new opposition movement. In this video, I lay out the challenge ahead and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

Officially a tyrant: Trump announced Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice

Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆

Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.

So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Dear Democratic Members of Congress, Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it. Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it! Signed, Americans

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us. We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

Telling Americans to “Shut Up About Egg Prices” is quite the message

Might save a life.
