See you Sunday in Camarillo! youtu.be/dZAuZGjMnrI?...

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

Actually one of the most salient quotes I've seen today, and reminding of the fact that there always be good people being very brave.

If it isn’t a “red herring,” why hasn’t Johnson seated the new congresswoman already? Dem Congressman James Walkinshaw (VA) won a special election September 9, 2025; he was seated Sept 10. Adelita S. Grijalva (AZ) won her special election Sept 23, 2025 but has yet to be seated.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

I keep seeing people dooming with "they're not acting like people who ever think they'll be out of power" and I keep thinking maybe, but they're also acting like they're terrified of what will happen to them when they do lose power.

I know I’m naive but the idea that my government not only lies to me and America but purposely creates video to lie to me…well, I was never taught this in U.S. civics class.

The new term of Court starts today. Here’s what I am paying attention to. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

New in PN: Trump's invasion "The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at."

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process. prospect.org/justice/2025...

In lawsuit, American Federation of Govt Employees, which represents 100,000s of federal government employees, has asked a judge to order the US Education Dept to stop sending politically-laced employee “out-of-office” messages from furloughed agency workers storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

I remind you that this man has been accused of domestic violence by the women in his life.

The product marketer in me wants to do a feature list for tax rates and the government services provided at different rates. Broadband should be a utility. I don’t care if that pisses Verizon and Comcast off.

he’s like 10 minutes into this thing and already broadcasting classified information to a live national feed.

Pete Hegseth: only clean-shaven men can win wars U.S. Grant:

Trump to a room of generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent before. Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud."

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies. It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check. Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous. Or a boat full of fishermen.

If Joe Biden's speaking cadence was a major news item that the press saw fit to opine about for days, why are we not hearing a peep about the noticeable slur coming from Trump in this speech? Don't tell me, I already know.

Oh my god

What counts as cheating with AI? Teachers are grappling with how to draw the line

AI is infiltrating the classroom. Here's how teachers and students say they use it

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.” Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. Talk about wasteful.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.
