Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the “radical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

The FAFSA is open. If you’re a parent, make sure you and your student are taking advantage of Washington’s financial aid. Don’t leave money on the table.

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

You couldn’t walk into Epstein’s house without seeing that he was depraved. Yet powerful men like Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick still had to check it out, despite his reputation and status as a sex offender.

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

This is an Epstein shutdown.

GOP Last Week: "We control everything." Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

I work in a commission job. If Congress, the White House, and administration worked on commission, they'd all be homeless by now.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

🙏 💚

Are we great yet?

"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved." "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Jane Goodall was the best of us.

How it started.... How it's going .... 💪⚖️🗳️👻

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

I mean, LOL, Stephen "Alpha Male" Miller is telling us he's hardcore? Ruthless? HA HA HA HA. Pro-tip: I ain't taking my manliness cues from a white, Christian-Nationalist racist, homeless & LGBTQIA2S hating, skinny-a$$, 105 lb. infant child. Nope, not gonna do it.

If you know people who still think Stephen Miller is a normal guy, send them his Wikipedia page.

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Priorities.

Hey #MAGA, is America Great Again with your crappy jobs report? Ready to put up your kids in the coal mines and factories to BOOM this economy? I'll wait. Just get back to me on here. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Probably just a coincidence.

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

This is very, very bad.

And now for something completely different… Paul Fischer 1860-1934 Danish painter Automobile Traffic in Gothersgade - 1925 Oil on canvas - 50 x 57 cm

July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimer constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Fuhrer. Most took the new oath. Sounds familiar? # Pete Hegseth # Ted Cruz #Trump

I seem to remember a Supreme Court case involving a bakery and a gay couple who wanted to order a wedding cake.

Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! This November, your vote is your voice- especially in PA where three state Supreme Court justices are on the ballot. Got to vote.pa.gov to make sure you’re registered to vote and that it's up to date, then help make sure your friends’ and family’s are too!

Brazil's Bolsonaro taken to hospital after feeling sick, son says Bolsonaro was sentenced by a Supreme Court panel last week to 27 years and three months in prison for plotting a coup after he lost the 2022 election. www.nbcnews.com/world/brazil...

Today, Generals and Flag Officers sat there thinking, "This is the DUMBEST son of a bitch on the planet." Which one were they talking about? Take your pick.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Americans: My family needs healthcare GOP: No Americans: It is VERY important GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal Americans: I don’t need coal GOP: It’s all we have. Wait, here’s measles. Americans: But my kid is sick GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat. #RemoveTrump

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Anyone listening to or reading Kamala Harris' "107 Days?" I mean, wow, we had brilliance in our reach. OMG, the first part of her book is heartbreaking. #WEARENOTGOINGBACK

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
