This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Happy Halloween! 🎃🧙‍♀️🦝🐾😂😂💙

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Democrats are united, authentic, and everywhere—communicating the stakes, telling the truth, and making sure Republicans own the shutdown they caused.

...the more you know...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

The Washington Post is awful, just awful. Support independent pro-democracy media by subscribing to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

The Post once stood tall for press freedom. Firing Karen Attiah shows those values have changed, and it puts a target on Black journalists who refuse to stay quiet about race. 🎧 Watch: https://bit.ly/3IkHAcG ##KarenAttiah #PressFreedom #FreeSpeech

On Angela Rye’s solo-pod this week, Rep. Jasmine Crockett opened up about what keeps her in the game, even when the work feels heavy. The episode also features Rep. Maxine Waters and Jotaka Eaddy. 🎧 Full episode: https://bit.ly/48whRsv ##NativeLandPod #WelcomeHomeYall

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Spot on.

Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs. This is what the GOP stands for.

The US government shutdown is already shaping up as a political quagmire for Donald Trump, his fellow Republicans and Democrats

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Truth

🗣️THIS is the message!! Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

Secret police who refuse to identify themselves march into communities and kidnap people with no due process The President told the military they are going to war against Americans No Dem votes to fund the government until it stops The messaging is simple and every Dem should echo it

Contact your Reps (ESPECIALLY IF THEYRE REPUBLICAN) and tell them you want Medicaid funding & Affordable Care Act tax credits restored, AND a provision preventing Trump from impounding/rescinding funds appropriated by Congress/enforcement of Impoundment Control Act.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

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

The campaign of brutality against the working poor that began under the so called compassionate conservative movement has only continued to escalate with the current bastards in charge. Here’s another example. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I was as stunned as everyone else. We all were. Some people asked if we’d be hacked. Others avoided the page all day. I shouldn’t have to say it but we have never had our website nor our internal communications so partisan nor have we experienced such feckless leadership.

We just got the pending shut down guidance from NARA. What partisan bullshit!!! I also am posting the previous guidance during the last un-MAGA administration so you can see the difference.

President Donald Trump, in an address to the U.S.’ top military officials Tuesday, stressed that after decades of military campaigns abroad, it was time to turn the armed forces inwards against an unspecified “enemy from within.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

Shutting Down a Fascist Regime Run By Weak, Incompetent Bullies A government shutdown, a cankled Trump, a manic Hegseth, a splintering MAGA base, a declining economy, the looming Epstein Files, and an opportunity for Democrats to finally lead. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

In November, I am voting yes on Prop 50 and making sure my friends and family do too. This was legit my commute this morning. If you zoom in, there are buzzards flying overhead. TRUMP • REVENGE • CHAOS • CORRUPTION

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

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.”

Trump would rather shut down the government than work with us to protect Americans’ health care. But of course he’s eager to use $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out his authoritarian buddy in Argentina. It's Trump and his cronies first, everyone else, last.

"The possibility of invoking the Federal Contested Elections Act makes gerrymandering seem quaint. But one lesson of this year is that whatever isn’t nailed down in advance is apt to be seized at the earliest opportunity."

With a shutdown looming, donald is golfing, repubs got sent home and democrats are trying to save the country AGAIN. Dems shouldn't always have to fix repubs mess, but here we are. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Tricolor Holdings, the 7th largest used car dealership in the country has filed for bankruptcy. It will be liquidated. Massive aluminum plant to be opened in Detroit canceled due to tariffs. The Trump Regime and Republicans are killing our country. share.google/1wo1Hf440g1V...
