ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

NEW: House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin is echoing Jack Smith's demand for public hearings: "I am now calling on you to accept Mr. Smith's offer to testify at a public hearing so the American people can all hear directly from him on the matters we will be questioning him about." tinyurl.com/yrmrdr3t

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽 Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

This is what Republicans voted for?

She will be fired and replaced with some unqualified Trump flunky hack who will do what they’re told.

I hope voters make them pay for all of Trump’s corruption, incompetence, lies and malfeasance. It is only made possible by the acquiescence and cowardice of Republicans in Congress, so they are the ones who should be held accountable for all of it in the short term.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of? Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

Will ANY Republican in Congress who isn’t retiring say ANYTHING about Trump destroying our White House? Are they just going to this madman do whatever he wants like a king? This desecration should be used by every Dem candidate against every Repub for every office everywhere.

I’ve searched all the DC permitting sites, etc… & the Tucker never got any! This is another reason he wants to keep the government shut down! 🤬🤬🤬

Furious resident drives off Border Patrol agents in Wheeling, Illinois

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

It's official: North Carolina's Republican-controlled Legislature just passed a new congressional map designed to give the GOP an extra House seat. This is the third state to follow Trump's gerrymandering demand, following Texas and Missouri.

Is there even a 1% chance that Trump will accept the results of a 2028 election if a Dem wins, & will not attempt to turn this country completely upside down in Nov-Dec 28, employing every means available to prevent that person from taking office? That’s the reason for No Kings.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

So the senator who is retiring condemns it and the two senators up for reelection wanting Trump’s endorsement won’t comment. Courageous and principled as always.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

The man should be in prison. But sure, let's pay him a quarter of a billion for being a criminal.

Joyce is one of the true warriors of this present time; indefatigable on her substack, on her podcast, on TV, and in her commitment to the belief that democracy depends on ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. Today is a great day to thank her for showing up for the rest of us, every day.

It’s book launch day for Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy, my first book. I hope you’ll read it or listen to it. a.co/d/43dbybC

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

You need to see this… Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Over 500,000 views before the Community Note fact check.

I’ve been waiting for many years for a prominent Democrat to relentlessly fact-check their lies in real time rather than issuing press statements days later when it’s too late.

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old. Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name. That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

The United States now has an immigration enforcement apparatus that, if it were its own national military, would be the thirteenth-most-heavily funded military in the world. And the president of the U.S. wants to turn that heavily funded, extramilitary against you. trib.al/j6h0dad

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.) This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be. #NoKings

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

Obama was elected by a much bigger margin but the media was primed to accept criticism of him and to legitimize resistance against him because they see white conservatives as representative of America It’s why they actively downplay any resistance against Trump today, of course
