From the “America First” regime

WEST VIRGINIAN: “If the subsidies go away I won’t have health insurance. I won’t go to the doctor. This really is a life or death situation.” #TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax (This shutdown is making the case for #MedicareForAll better than we ever could)

Michigan Avenue right now.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Prosecuting political opponents, abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, silencing voters, defying the courts — this is a dictatorship in action. Trump thinks his rule is absolute. Join millions of Americans to remind him there are NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This administration is totally fine with more Americans getting cancer from water contaminants if it means corporations and their wealthy friends might keep a penny or two more. Insane. The #EPA is now the Exploitation & Profiteering Agency. www.newsweek.com/epa-drinking...

Trump Net-Approval On: Foreign Policy: -13% Immigration: -14% Trade: -15% Gun Violence: -16% Economy: -17% Russia-Ukraine: -23% Israel-Hamas: -25% Quinnipiac / Sept 21, 2025

Trump's approval on just about every issue continues to slide Read it here: open.substack.com/pub/usapolli...

Independents lean GOP in this poll by 10%. The only positives are, the Dems are still ahead somehow, and the numbers look like they did before the 2018 election.

The Trump administration has illegally moved to end collective bargaining for federal prison workers. The Federal Bureau of Prisons Director has written to nearly 35,000 employees outlining plans to illegally dismantle their union contract.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

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.

Violence against ICE is wrong but not surprising.👇

Americans are ready for a Democratic majority in the House.

Some of us do.

Hey Disney: remember in 2023 when you sued Ron DeSantis for violating the company's First Amendment rights by using government power to exact political retaliation?

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

AOC and DeathSantis having the same favorability rating is… troubling

We can’t have a repeat of the last government funding fight where Leader Schumer and nine other Senate Democrats rolled over and voted through a partisan GOP spending bill. Every Democrat must fight for a spending bill that protects healthcare AND puts meaningful checks on Trump.

Gee, I wonder why. www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Platner: I think Collins has tried to create this charade in which she’s always the moderate voice in the room. But that’s nonsense, and everybody knows it’s nonsense. Susan Collins does not represent the interests of working Mainers

Shapiro: Censorship, using the long arm of government to silence people, to silence businesses and nonprofits, and restrict their right to free speech, that will not solve this problem. 

“You called it an insurrection at the time, Chris. You did. I checked your Twitter before I came on.” 😬 Awkward— @chrisccuomo.bsky.social just tried to claim he never called 1/6 an “insurrection”, but as usual @mehdirhasan.bsky.social has the receipts 👇🏽🤔

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

I want to see @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and @andybeshearky.bsky.social and @governor.pa.gov and whoever else wants to run for President in 2028 traveling to traditionally red counties and speaking with traditionally GOP voters, like Bernie does. Take a lesson from Bernie. We need these voters.

Drugs that come into the U.S. from other countries should not be tolerated. But the U.S. Navy killed Venezuelans who were NOT transporting drugs and we cannot allow the regime to go around and kill “enemies” without evidence or due process. abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...
