So, basically, we are subsidizing the Argentinian soybean farmer now? Way to go MAGA farmers. You knocked this one out of the park (out of the country to be fair).

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

Focusing on the ridiculous veneer is a mistake because the substance of Trump's speech was as serious as a heart attack. The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

NEWS: Mike Johnson just refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva AGAIN, leaving Arizona's 7th without a Congresswoman during the shutdown, and preventing the 218th signature to force the vote on the Epstein Files. Just over 6 hours until we shutdown. I have the latest.

Right-wing media are pushing a lie that Democrats are threatening to shut down the government over “free health care for illegal immigrants” even though undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federally funded health benefits.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

Under Trump, the federal government is now a concierge service for those who pay tribute to him.

New in PN: Get ready for the next big bailout "What this means is that the farmers will be insulated at least somewhat from the damage Trump’s foolish trade war did to them; in other words, they’ll get a bailout. The rest of us will pay for it. And the economy will get no benefit at all."

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

YARDENI: “.. Trump’s controversial $20 billion bailout won’t help .. It simply buys more time for a (MAGA loving) president whose shock-therapy plan is failing .. “.. running cover for the latest inept leader of a chronically mismanaged economy .. could set off another 1980s-style downward spiral.”

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling. Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

I’m sure this had nothing to do with Trump giving the Saudis high level chips. I’m sure of it………

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

You can bet your hot ass the press wouldn’t be both-sidesing a government shutdown if Democrats controlled everything and were refusing to negotiate with Republicans.

100 percent true. Even with the threat of prosecution in the past Trump always thought he was smart enough to avoid detection (he wasn’t). Now, with no threat of prosecution, it’s free rein to try whatever the hell he wants as he now has a get out of jail FREE card!!!

Wall Street is having a mild AI-nxiety attack. The simmering unease about a possible AI bubble began boiling over last week. A proper warning of an undisciplined capital-burning binge or a helpful dose of caution to refresh the rational exuberance? New column. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/27/s...

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Shameful.

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

What a mess

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

Trump fired the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento just hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

China has the world’s best mercantilists and they will profit more than anyone from the new order the US is creating (via Bloomberg Opinion)

Remember those stickers, “Biden did this”? Well, trump definitely DID THIS!!!

From public demands to go after his political enemies to reportedly closing $50,000 bribery investigations into Tom Homan, Trump is basically using the DOJ his own personal law firm.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.” This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

New Epstein drop from the Oversight Dems has some interesting names in it 👀 👀 👀

Trump, who last year vowed to exact "retribution" against perceived enemies, gets what he demanded, an indictment of Comey, even though federal prosecutors concluded there was no case. Devlin Barrett @glennthrush.bsky.social @alanfeuer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...
