This GOP move does several things: + No votes in the House until at least October 14 + No swearing-in for Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ + No 218th signature from Grijalva on the Epstein Files discharge petition + Continues the House 'jam' of the Senate on the CR

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

I do not understand the need to flirt with war on Venezuela and I also do not understand which Americans are supposed to be excited by this prospect

Trump Asks JD Vance To Research Whether President Allowed To Kill Vice President

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Christian Conservative MAGA Republican pastor rapes 12yo girl and receives 6 months in jail, but god forbid an undocumented immigrant gets hurt on the job and shows up at the ER, then the entire weight of the federal government will crush them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The right-wing governor of São Paulo promised to pardon Jair Bolsonaro for his coup-plotting conviction if he won next year’s presidential race. But he has since withdrawn his candidacy

This is what it looks like when a democracy protects itself and punishes those who tried to overthrow it.

BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS a new ICE policy that went into effect last week to automatically detain unaccompanied migrant children on their 18th birthday when they “age out” of shelter care. The TRO enforces a court order in a case brought by @immcouncil.org and @immigrantjustice.bsky.social.

Two. Two. They mounted a helicopter assault and destroyed an entire apartment building and zip tied all of its residents to arrest two guys for maybe being in a gang.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

They’re so close to figuring it out

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

For context that first tweet about corrupting youth is related to Musk spending the past week whining about LGBT characters on Netflix. He’s encouraging people to cancel Netflix because open hate for LGBT people is just considered a mainstream, acceptable opinion again thanks to fascists like Musk

/3 Because, if you didn’t know, prosecutors CAN obtain summonses to tell people to come to court to face charges, and who gets those and who gets arrested is a story of privilege, race, petty vindictiveness, and everything else bad about the system. But I digress.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

what's funny is, as always, the liberals and progressives are ruminating over this and grappling with it long after the people who swore this meant a whirlwind would be reaped have completely forgotten about it. you can forget about it too!

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease. There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done." 1/🧵

I said what I said.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Memo to White House reporters: please ask the press secretary if Jesus would be OK with someone bleeding to death in the street because you would not let him or her get access to an emergency room.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Bill Belichick has been replaced as headcoach by AI actress Tilly Norwood

In Tbilisi, protesters began building barricades and burning Russian flags

Everything is content moderation.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Mass protests are underway in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi after fraudulent municipal elections. Demonstrators accuse the pro-Russian Georgian Dream of losing legitimacy and demand a peaceful transfer of power. Crowds have marched to the presidential palace and attempted to break through its gates.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

gonna be honest, this is pathetically small for any aspiring regime. it will cause pain, no doubt, but for comparative purposes about 2 or 3 million people work for various levels of the Chinese state doing this, and about a third of the staff at any private content firm do it.

Genuine medieval peasant brain who gets to vote on whether we go to war

Up to about Gen Xer, government jobs were some of the only places that WOULD hire Black people. If I had a nickel for how many old Black people tell us “go get you a good government job.” It’s why Black Boomers are sticklers for staying at a job for decades on end too

A federal workers' union has filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin for altering Department of Education employees' out-of-office email messages to include partisan language about a government shutdown without their consent.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Workers at one agency were given unhinged, partisan language to use when setting out-of-office replies.
