Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Republicans control the shutdown. Top to bottom. For example, construction of Trump's ballroom will continue as "essential" during the shutdown. But the stuff that helps you will not. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

White folks, if you think this government would never turn the military against you, think again—Sincerely Black people.

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

Turkish journalist Fatih Altayli has been imprisoned, but his reporting continues through a YouTube channel.

This, 💯%. And it's not merely messaging—it's just simple, discernible fact. The best messaging is messaging that reminds people of what is true and known to be true. The entire 2024 presidential campaign should have been about this.

She is incapable of being honest. Republicans control all branches of government. Democrats are leveraging their voting power to help millions of America to retain their healthcare. They have been transparent about this. Is there anyone in this administration who doesn’t lie?

Another shutdown casualty: Medicare telehealth coverage

Liar. That is absolutely not true.

It is not they it is you, Mr Clown from LA.

BREAKING: The deadly synagogue rampage in Manchester was a terrorist attack, U.K. police say.

Keep in mind that Stephen Miller is speaking to people who've been uprooted from their day jobs and homes to serve as props.

“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is not a political film. But Mary Bronstein's new film arrives as a shot-out-of-a-cannon rejoinder to the message that suffering women should “tough it out.” "This is a woman who’s going through it. And instead of averting our eyes, I’m making you deal with it.”

Stop doing the regime's work for them. STOP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=806O...

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go. They think he's an idiot and a buffoon. Because that's what he is. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Energy Department tries to stifle workers’ use of climate-related words [via @theguardian.com]

Trump's deportation machine has diverted some 42,000 crime fighters from other tasks

Rep. Carlos Gimenez defends Trump's racist AI videos: "You're gonna see more of these things happen, and so people need to develop a little bit thicker skin ... if you complain about it you're just going to get more of it"

My congressman had the audacity to take a video on his combine while he’s cutting soybeans and talking about farming. My congressman votes with Trump every damn time. Trump destroyed the market for soybeans. My congressman didn’t talk about that. I wonder why.

Well, this aged well. Unfortunately. (Except for the part where @jimmykimmel.com said he thought I was higher up on Donald Trump's enemies list than he was.)

"We’ve run out of synonyms for incoherent, rambling, batshit crazy, deranged, and demented. So, suffice it to say that a lot of what Trump said was simply drooling piffle as if his prefrontal cortex was turning into rancid guacamole."

OMG! There is a house in Bedford, Iowa that has had a Trump flag flying since 2016. He also had a huge hand-painted Trump signs. They are gone. The flag and the signs.

Millions of his supporters are going to be left in total shock when it's all finally exposed and verified by members of his own MAGA Congressional cult, who will tell the American public everything to save themselves from criminal prosecution.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

Citrone, hedge-fund manager + Trump cabinet BFF, bought lots of Argentina bonds which would've been lots 💰 if not for a US bailout. See how that works? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump sent 20 billion to Argentina for a bailout. China brokered a deal to quit buying American soybeans and buy beans from Argentina. Trump bailed out the country that swept the knees of American farmers. The Art of the Deal…

Have taken the time to read this *extraordinary* 161p ruling by Federal Judge William Young. Absolute must-read to understand the full extent of Trump regime's depravity and lawlessness, the steep extent of 🇺🇸 descent into authoritarianism & the enabling role of integrity-free Roberts Court

Madeleine Dean is great.

Yes, we know, JB. But Dear Leader isn’t listening.

"They Took Everyone" ICE Raids 75th Street Apartment, Detains Migrants and U.S. Citizens Alike

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

BREAKING: Man threatens to release Speaker Mike Johnson’s Grindr account info if he does not shave his beard and swear in Adelita Grijalva today. Concerning if true.

If we could read the minds of 800 generals and admirals: "We have a Commander-in-Chief who has NO FUCKING BUSINESS being our Commander-in-Chief!"

This applies to the honorable leaders of our military He can’t fire you all Your oath is to the constitution

Over half the state voted to restore reproductive rights. They are on the losing side of this.

This is awesome. DOJ was hoping Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer would fail, pushing back against Trump's further plans to bring shitty indictments. But that failed, and CNN hopefully published this with enough time for Comey to add it to his planned response. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

Between June 2022 and June 2024, at least 412 people across the country have been charged for crimes related to their pregnancies, pregnancy losses, or even live births. This is what fetal personhood looks like.

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

I could barely stand to listen to Trump address military brass yesterday. It was triggering. He sounded like an abuser. You can laugh if you want to. You can clap if you want to. You can leave if you want to, but you’ll lose your rank. I’m positive every woman recognized that language.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now, declining to act on the Trump administration's effort to remove her.

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.

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.
