We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office. The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense. The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace. Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

This BS has to STOP 💯🤬 Never thought I would live to see the day that something like this would go on in America. I weep for my country and I'm starting to really hate Trump. I don't say that lightly! #Resist #ONEV1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue youtu.be/vOXOWAhFz0A?...

Do you have a friend or family member who is MAGA, who is parroting the lies and awful messaging being pushed by Republicans? Are they saying “Our tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for Medicaid or insurance for *immigrants”? (*sorry, refuse to use their racist language here) Show them this!

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

This is the number for the Chicago FBI field office if anyone wants to call and let them know what you think about them dragging children out of their homes in the middle of the night: (312) 421-6700.

THE PURGE Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months. Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025. 🧵

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Mamdani’s got it. “Trump and republicans in congress shut down the federal government.”

My advice to Democrats today and assuming the government shuts down at midnight tonight? Don't cave! Tell the public what’s at stake. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senate-dems-dont-cave-and-explain

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

The White House has frozen about $18 billion in federal support for major infrastructure projects in New York. In a post on X Wednesday, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought wrote,

Lies, lies and more lies. But good for her for calling him out on the truth. Press, do more of that🤨 #voteblue #savedemocracy #yesonprop50 #pinks

Soooo we need to “stop attacking pedophiles”which I guess is why Ted Cruz and the Republicans won’t release the Epstein files but on the very same day they block protecting your privacy. Grand Old Pedophile party strikes again.

No more anonymous complaints or repeat complainants. This administration loves to blame women for crimes of which they’re actually victims . Blame the offenders.

Do we assume Ted's a pedo?

Behold the alcoholic Fox News host "Secretary of War" over the United States of America's military. Sabotage.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

With 34 FELONY CONVICTIONS???? AND ACTIVELY BLOCKING THE EPSTEIN FILES???? AND MOVING MAXWELL FROM A PRISON TO A COUNTRY CLUB????

This is a fight over more than temporary funding, however. It is the continuation of a battle that has been brewing since Trump took office in January and refused to spend billions of dollars that Congress had already approved 4/5

Exactly this 👇👇

In effect: "We are explicitly threatening to starve Americans to force a budget deal"

RFK Jr. promised to take on plastic. Now he's part of an administration embracing it. “The administration’s explicit goal to unleash the fossil fuel industry will also unleash plastic pollution.”

UN says Fox News host apologized after calling for world body to be b*mbed. So when is the FCC investigating to take him off the air? Or is this now first amendment rights?

Well lookee here!

Nothing is ever enough for them.

Trump is threatening to sabotage HIS OWN GOVERNMENT if there is a shutdown. Ok. Thats dumb but you own that. Why are we not hearing Dem leaders saying that? “Well that sounds reckless, Americans won’t be happy about that.”

Because a large chunk of them cares more about access than actually doing their jobs. If they lose the access, they lose their book deals, etc. There are very few out there who actually want to hold politicians feet to the fire anymore - Trump’s most pointed questions come from foreign journos.

🔥ACCORDING TO CONGRESSMAN GLEN IVEY (as heard at the Congressional Black Caucus) PETE HEGSETH'S meeting with the generals is to inform them that if the Government SHUTS DOWN, MARTIAL LAW will be DECLARED.

“WE MAKE, THEY TAKE” From @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — 50 billboards across 8 states are driving home the message that working Americans (teachers, nurses, etc) keep 🇺🇸 running, but billionaires keep taking more & more. Share if you agree. More: perfectunion.us/wemaketheyta...

Obviously concerned this “full force” thing is just going to be permission for soldiers to open fire on Americans in the streets. Just remember that regimes are at their most dangerous when they are weakest. Don’t give them the excuse they need, Portland.

It has become apparent that to reach the top of the Republican food chain that one must be without ethics, without morals, without integrity, and without an ounce of empathy.

Yeah anyways this whole thing was a hoax and right-wingers are deleting their viral posts about it from earlier today. Completely made up. Rinse repeat with a new one tomorrow.
