If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left. We do. The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year. After years of growth, the number of docs has declined each month since Trump took office. www.propublica.org/article/vete...

Trump doesn’t get to “give some of the tariff money to farmers.” The tariff money is in the US Treasury, not a Trump slush fund. Congress has to appropriate taxpayer dollars to put farmers on welfare. Although Trump should pay it out of his crypto profits since he caused it.

An ICE agent threw a mom to the ground. You know how she can file a complaint with DHS? SHE CAN'T. Trump closed that office. www.propublica.org/article/home...

Rep. Clark: When you control the White House, the Senate, and the House, whether or not the government shuts down is solely a Republican decision.

Time for New York law enforcement authorities to step in to address assaults like this.

The Trump admin illegally leaked my unredacted personnel file to Jack's allies to try to smear me. The full force of the federal government is being weaponized to defeat me — I’m asking you to help me fight back! Donate here: secure.ngpvan.com/NGY2cCnISU6c...

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

To be clear, if you are a Democrat, Indiana Republicans want to make sure you have no representation and no voice.

Trump says he can’t believe ABC gave Kimmel his job back. I know the feeling. I can’t believe Americans gave Trump this job back.

JFC

When you know everyone hates you, every little thing feels like a threat. 🙄

Some of us do.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

Karoline Leavitt says Trump saved the Ryder Cup golf match between the US and Europe. He said it would not be happening this weekend without him even though it has been played since 1927 somehow without his involvement.

So unifying

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Nailed it 👇

👏👏👏👏👏

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

This administration absolutely reeks of corruption.

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

Wow. From an article in The Guardian.

Don’t like a TV show? Don’t watch it. I liked Jimmy Kimmel, so I watched. I hate Fox News, so I don’t. Problem solved.

Ingraham: A Democrat congressional candidate was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent. Good work

The Constitution is clear - the government has no right to police people’s personal opinions. Yet Gov. Mike Braun, Attorney General Todd Rokita, and Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith are using their official platforms to encourage persecution of people simply for expressing an opinion they don't agree with.

Checking in on this

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

This is absolutely batshit insane. Corporations are aiding and abetting an authoritarian president and demolishing free speech while that same president and his party hypocritically claim to be free-speech champions. ABC is supine in the face of absurd bullying.

Imagine capitulating to a president that is so underwater that he doesn't even have 50% approval with white people as a white supremacist

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Can’t imagine the betrayal felt by Melissa Hortman’s children as they watch a dead religious podcaster be treated by the Trump Admin like a government hero, used as a hammer to silence criticism, all while suffering in silence from their parents’ assassinations, brushed aside by the same government.

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

I’m old enough to remember when Bob Iger, whose company recently paid $16 million to settle a meritless Trump lawsuit, and who just indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from the Trump administration, was a chair for the **Committee to Protect Journalists** dinner.

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

👇👇

Just since yesterday, the President has engaged in more extrajudicial killings, promised to use the federal government's power to repress the political opposition, threatened to prosecute a reporter for asking him a question, and filed a baseless lawsuit to try to intimidate a leading news outlet.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Trump has done this for a full decade

ME ME ME ME ME The only thing that matters is ME.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Wow, first time I've seen him underwater in this poll with white people. He has negative disapproval across every possible cohort.

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?
