“I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district." trib.al/zTN18Tp

What distinguishes Democrats from fascist Republicans is that Republicans only have empathy for their immediate family and friends, while Democrats feel empathy for people they've never met in places they'll never go to.

Also lying: - your own eyes - every bit of video evidence - the fabric of reality itself

I’m Gen X. So as a kid, my summers meant getting shoved out of the house. Playing outside until dark. We swam, scraped our knees, fought, made up, and met girls. You had to make friends in the flesh. No choice. I have a lot more to say, so check my video write-up. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

The federal government has been shut down for 12 days because Republicans refuse to compromise and fix the healthcare crisis they created. Americans don’t want their healthcare prices to skyrocket. Simple as that. It’s critical Republicans in Congress find a bipartisan solution.

This 👇. All of this 👇 👇👇👇👇 Share this far and wide! This is how it’s done! We need someone doing this at every protest! Why? These police offers know our rights! Tell them what they’re doing is wrong! Make them stop and think before they beat the shit out of a protester! Thank you sir!!🙏🇺🇸🙌

I’ve been across Wisconsin holding town halls, and one thing I hear again and again is that people are deeply concerned about their healthcare premiums rising. The heat is on Republicans.

They’re selling you a piece of sh*t and telling you it’s a ham sandwich.

Gov. Pritzker: "The Insurrection Act is called the Insurrection Act for a reason — there has to be an insurrection in order for [Trump] to be allowed to invoke it. He can say anything he wants, but if the Constitution means anything...the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked."

Smithsonian museums, research centers, and the National Zoo temporarily closed Sunday due to the federal government shutdown.

What if Donald Trump has only been picking people who he knows are in the Epstein files so they help him cover it up? Why did he pick JD Vance, Kash Patel or Stephen Miller? I am just asking questions.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Unresolved!? Felon Trump sure doesn't get that impression. Neither do his enablers. That's the highest court not taking responsibility for the situation THEY created.

If you’re a MAGA farmer watching soybeans rot in the field, at least know this, you did Make Argentina Great Again. They’ve got your markets now, thanks to Trump’s trade war.

Kamala Harris: "I don't know if we can trust what's coming out of the DOJ right now. And that pains me to say that."

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Uh oh. Rubio “signed a letter last August to the Norwegian Nobel Committee supporting her nomination for the prize.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Goodnight everyone. I leave with this. I am still laughing! 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America. America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.

I have not been able to sleep more than a couple of hrs. at a time for weeks. Just woke after 1 1/2 hrs., wide fucking awake. youtu.be/MRC8jvSmWPU?...

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Finally! Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland has signaled she is inclined to release Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man wrongfully deported and later brought back by the Trump administration.

If you are a member of the National Guard and aren't called on duty on October 18, can I encourage you to join the No Kings protest?

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

To celebrate Banned Books Week, we honor as MD-08 Local Heroes two amazing independent bookstores in Montgomery County—Wonderland Books in Bethesda and People’s Book in Takoma Park, which have created sanctuaries for books, writers, ideas, resistance and community.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Happy Birthday to the great Larry Tribe, brilliant professor and scholar, freedom fighter in retirement, indispensable champion of constitutional democracy and the rule of law. Take a modest part of the evening off to enjoy!

And now, a cleanse.

I remember when I was 10, and I went to use a public restroom. There on the stall was etched this poem: Here I sit all broken hearted. Tried to shit and only farted. Anyway, I was just seeing Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize and I thought of that for some reason.

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value. This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025. Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment. Be warned.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company. It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers. While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country. A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.
