These fascists are getting me down, but I still make a point to look folks in the eye with a smile when I pass them on the street. Lovingkindness every day. Send good vibes. Be that light you want to see in the world.

#RIP to one of the greats. 🙏🏼 @newyorker.com @kyla.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"too"

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Madeline Dean’s “Oh my god, please” to Mike “I definitely don’t watch gay porn” Johnson is all of us.

I’m confused os Lutnik is one of Trumps people correct? Is he not indicating Trump had to of participated?

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

To all our friends and neighbors who observe – here in Minnesota and across the world – Gwen and I are wishing you a peaceful and blessed Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

For the price of a $400 million jet/bribe, you too can get your very own US security guarantee

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor. Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Female veterans denounced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's speech this week outlining his anti-woke military agenda, disputing his claims that standards were lowered to allow thousands of women in combat roles. www.axios.com/2025/10/01/h...

"Elisa Cardnell, the president and CEO of the Service Women's Action Network, said in a statement that the 'physical requirements for infantry school, special operations, or any other combat role are already gender-neutral.'"

Yes to ballrooms. No to healthcare for Americans. Got it.

At least 29 Americans have sought asylum in Australia since second Trump presidency began

"Lutnick, in a notable break with the DOJ, claimed late pedophile Epstein was 'the greatest blackmailer ever' — and may have traded the feds video of his rich and well-connected associates getting massages from young women in exchange for a controversial 2008 plea deal."

No! We must call out these abuses and educate the public. That’s Number One mission. We must also file criminal complaints, of course, but we’re severely limited by the current Supreme Court by their immunity ruling as well as a “lack of standing” for many who wish to sue, no?

Democrats MUST start labeling these gross new abuses of power by Trump ILLEGAL and file criminal complaints with the DOJ and relevant state Attorneys General. Trump has responded to Democrats exercising their power under the Constitution today by trying to erase the legislative branch completely.

About to join MSNBC at 5pm ET to discuss all the stuff

Tom is laying out the risks, threats, consequences, of having a very unwell President. Tom sees Trump’s disordered thinking, and is troubled that he has the nuclear codes, something we should all think about.

None whatsoever

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

The vice president, who previously asserted that undocumented immigrants were eating our cats and dogs, has now settled on the lie that undocumented immigrants are eating our health care. All politicians lie, but he's really elevated it to an art form.

24 millions Americans shouldn’t have to lose their healthcare so that Elon Musk can blow up more rockets.

Good work

Trump’s authoritarian agenda is not popular. His big, ugly bill is not popular. Ripping health care away from millions of Americans is not popular. As @aoc.bsky.social explains, he and Republicans are weaker than they look. Democrats must stand strong and refuse to cave.

S.D.N.Y. Essential Practice Rule 1: Do NOT mess with Judge McMahon 🤣

A federal buyback of assault-style firearms from individual owners announced earlier this month prompted misleading social media posts from #American influencers saying it will soon become “criminal” to own a gun in #Canada. halifax.citynews.ca/2025/10/01/f...

A reminder about any given Vought declaration about no longer funding X because Woke or because Liberal or whatever is that these are the things the admin is most consistently taking Ls on.

Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the NAACP and the NAACP New York State Conference, my law firm has filed to intervene as defendants in a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to New York state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

AOC: "This is a fight over your ability to go to the pharmacy and afford insulin. We're not talking about just 15 or 20% increase in people's premiums...we are talking about a doubling of monthly health care premiums, not even including your deductible!"

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

91 years is a good long run for most but too short for someone like Jane Goodall. Damn.

Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall. You made the world a better place.

Just yesterday Trump promised to spend a record $1 trillion on the military — roughly half of which will go to private defense contractors that price-gouge the government. Remember this when Trump or Republicans talk about "sacrifices" that need to be made during a shutdown.

Whoah!! Check out Republican lies about “illegals.” But: Medicaid—must be lawfully in U.S. Medicare—must be lawfully in U.S. ACA benefits—must be lawfully in U.S. So why the lie? To change the topic from what they’ve done to health care.

MAGA, if you're enjoyin' Trump's racist AI videos about Hakeem Jeffries, remember this. When this is all over, Trump will still have health care, but you won't.

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

WIRED: Federal employees “received a template from human resources for their suggested ‘out of office’ email. They were advised to blame the Democrats ..” @wired.com #Shutdown 🇺🇸 www.wired.com/story/govern...

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

Winter is approaching and I'm considering purchasing a Lenny Kravitz scarf. The Chicago winter has broken the spirits of many. I want to lug around a big ol blanket and call it clothes. I am prioritizing comfort this year and that means wearing a comforter to work.
