After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history. They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

jfc this is INSANE!! we should not agree to anything with Republicans until we get our healthcare back AND they take the gestapo off our streets.

What if we could channel all our frustrations over our country’s rapid slide into authoritarianism into advocacy for policies that work for all of us? We can. Welcome to @americandemands.bsky.social #DemandBetter

Republicans are going to let tax credits that make health care more affordable for millions of working families EXPIRE. Republicans are attacking health care. Democrats are fighting to protect it.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Trump hasn't been seen since Tuesday, nothing public on his calendar today. Trump was also MIA for several days just 5 weeks ago.

Superior, Wisconsin is the latest city to build its own affordable open access fiber broadband network, thanks heavily to broadband grants included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

I’m wishing everyone observing in Wisconsin and around the world, a meaningful fast this Yom Kippur.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

🗣️THIS is the message!! Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here. The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration. How? 1/

Republicans want Democrats' help in fucking over 22 million Americans. Absolutely not.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Is it time to embrace the tech backlash? Have we gone too far? Are people spending too much time online? Tangle Executive Editor Isaac Saul grapples with these questions in today’s Friday edition. Be sure to read the full piece here: www.readtangle.com/its-time-to-...

ICE tactics inflame tensions in New York, Chicago and other cities reut.rs/4gIZYs8

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

5 years ago, I quit my White House role and spoke out against Trump. It cost me my career, but truth mattered more. From my break with Trump to Kamala Harris’ blunt truths today, the test remains: who will speak up, and who will stay silent? Courage is still rare.

Disney should tell Nextar & Sinclair to pound sand: You're not getting any of our content if you don't air Kimmel. Then see how quickly they fold.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Trump’s already 20 mins late for his Tylenol/RFK BS because I guarantee you Jimmy Kimmel back on air has made him lost his sh*t but I guess it Depends.

How dare the Left make crass jokes about political violence, which Republicans would never, ever do...

RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

"We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy," Disney said in a statement, "and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

Get those tickets now before it’s the final curtain call and lights out. 🙃

Great thread on the case for Trump’s weakness. I think Trump is rapidly consolidating power because his team has a plan and is willing to act like Trump, as if they will always outlive the consequences. But: 1. He’s much better at getting out of trouble than his people are. 2. He’s really old.

My sort of crank, not thought through theory is that as MBA brain has proliferated, management of businesses has gotten more and more divorced from the particulars of the businesses they’re managing, and CEOs’ jobs are “business” in the same way Ken’s job is “beach.”

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Dutch late night TV has its take

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The road to Trump’s Project 2025 fascism is lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I didn’t think ABC/Disney could be any more fucking cowardly. I was wrong. @jimmykimmel.com

The easiest way to reject the abundant data pointing toward disproportionate right-wing political violence is to dismiss right-wing actors as one-off, apolitical lunatics and any left-wing actors as part of a nebulous, concentrated political project.

Trump is literally threatening to have his Justice Department go after reporters who are asking him questions he doesn’t like

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.

He knows he's lying.

Hey Orange conman, Stephen Colbert won an Emmy, making it his third. Obama won two Grammy awards and three Emmys, not to mention a Nobel Peace Prize. You have no way of catching up with either of these two kings because losers always lose. Even Michelle Release the Epstein files #USDemocracy

Can Jesse Welles Revive the Protest Song?

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

Words to live by

It appears they can't find the shooter because Kash Patel purged the FBI, and he also doesn't know what he is doing. How sad and dangerous is this?
