Republicans are using the government shutdown to illegally rip SNAP benefits away from 42 million Americans. 16 million children are at risk of going hungry. The extremists don’t give a damn. You deserve better.

Tsunami 🌊 of cruelty coming to your state just in time for the holidays. Food assistance-nope Toys under tree-nope Homes with adequate heat-nope Healthcare-nope Jobs with living wage-nope All so GOP gets massive tax cuts and he gets ✈️ and ballroom. We the people will not forget!

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

I was working on the story and he just came out and said it

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

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

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Jimmy Kimmel’s return proves that pressure works. But the corporate-controlled media still can’t be trusted. As Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

🚨BREAKING: Texas Republicans are officially renouncing the rationale they used to justify their mid-decade redistricting effort, as they get ready to defend their new gerrymander in court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exactly this

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

More of this.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business announces that the 22,000 jobs added in August are "much less than the expectation of 75,000" and that they June and July numbers were revised down as well

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

Chicago for the win 🏆

So maybe the problem wasn’t with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

So much greatness.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

Michael Jordan is in the house for Cowboys-Eagles 💪

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

NEW: A judge in Utah orders fair maps, Susan Collins is heckled during a ribbon cutting, democrats CRUSH in an Iowa special election defeating the GOP supermajority, and prosecutors fail to indict sandwich guy. News, with swearing! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Every single member of the GOP needs to be put on trial. That doesn't exclude members of the Democratic party. If you helped enable this, you're guilty. You committed treason. There is but one penalty for treason.

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

ALL GUN VIOLENCE IS REPUBLICANS FAULT

Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."

NBC - You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub.

If y'all are upset by the fact that there are millions of people who will flat refuse to vote for a horrible individual like Newsom, maybe spend the next three years finding any one of several hundred million people in the US that folks WILL vote for. There's no shortage of decent candidates.

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

Hey this was pretty cool

here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district

After getting busted living rent free in the residence designated for the Coast Guard Commandant, Noem says she was forced to do that because the media doxxed her.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
