Due to Trump’s failed leadership (his pervious quote), the government shutdown has now reached day 21. Federal employees and their families across the country are struggling, many forced to take out personal loans just to pay their bills, and soon turning to food banks to eat.

Trump now wants U.S. taxpayers to pay him $230 million because he claims he was treated unfairly in the past.

A Jan. 6 insurrectionist named Christopher Moynihan, who was among the hundreds Trump pardoned in January, has been arrested for making a death threat against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Moynihan said he planned to kill Jeffries in New York City.

North Carolina legislative leaders approve a Trump-endorsed redesign of U.S. House districts aimed at adding a Republican seat.

White House changes course and will now be demolishing the entire East Wing.

Thank you, Senator Jeff Merkley, for your incredible 22-hour and 37-minute marathon speech on the Senate floor!

Trump has been on a rampage against mayoral candidate Mamdani. Mamdani has already been driving out criminals even before taking office, it’s easy to see why Trump, a convicted felon, doesn’t like him.

Can’t wait to share my exclusive interview with the incredible @kim.senate.gov and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! Check out the Katie Phang News channel on YouTube tomorrow, October 21st at 1:30 pm ET, for this amazing conversation: youtube.com/@katiephangn...

Trump’s move to “terminate” the Gateway Project is classic “mob boss” politics – using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process. Watch my full conversation with @kim.senate.gov and @katiephang.bsky.social about what this means for commuters, jobs, and safety.

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

Amusingly, I don't know if it cracks the top, what, 50 most corrupt things Trump has ever done? 100? Would probably lead the non-Trump division, though, I'll give him that

In the House, there is nothing you *can’t* do during a pro-forma session. Paragraph (a)(2) is the important part.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

it's real. he's talking about Russ Vought

Trump’s deeply irresponsible and stupid tariffs are bringing prices up for American families while also leaving our agriculture industry at home out to dry — now, he’s trying to course correct. When it comes to supporting American farmers, Trump is all hat, no cattle.

@raskin.house.gov and I are demanding answers as ICE continues to detain US citizens. This is unlawful, and it must stop. www.commondreams.org/news/can-ice...

New York City is not for sale. Our new ad begins airing tomorrow.

If that were the case, you’d call on Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to release all of the Epstein files

This is why you shouldn’t renew a bad tenant’s lease.

After months of needless delay, the Trump administration has finally agreed to follow the law and forgive student loan debt for borrowers who have been waiting decades for relief. This will be life changing for millions of working class Americans.

So let me get this straight… Republicans call Democrats violent, terrorist, lawless, and so much more, but we aren’t the ones constantly wreaking havoc on this country. Just today, a man Trump pardoned for storming the Capitol was arrested for threatening to kill Leader Hakeem Jeffries. (1/2)

I wonder if they are also looking at who’s behind the threats to judges for ruling against Trump. So far, zero answers to my questions.

Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue. We don’t bow to kings. We defend the Constitution.

A new Idaho law makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.” ➡️ Read the full story: https://propub.li/4oz4JYj

Hey the house of reps has had all of Oct and most of September off because Speaker Johnson is desperate to not release the Epstein files. Have they been filling the time with town halls? I mean they have a full month off… maybe a couple town halls each right?

Trump may soon try to justify his abuse of our armed forces by invoking the Insurrection Act. Today, I joined my colleagues to advance legislation that would stop him.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans. (Published July) By @andreasuozzo.com, Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser

So that’s the red line? A “Nazi streak?” America deserves better.

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution. But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

While Republicans spewed lies about No Kings Day, designed to discourage participation, millions of Americans peacefully and safely made their voices heard against harmful Trump-GOP policies. Austin, like many cities across the country, had zero arrests, zero violence.

Nazi nominated to high government position. Infusing White supremacy into our refugee admissions policy. Also known as “Tuesday” in the Trump administration.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Trump’s latest scheme: flood the U.S. market with Argentinian beef — devastating American ranchers fighting for survival as herds hit 75-year lows. Trump is propping up foreign producers at the expense of American jobs, families, and farms.

Trump’s plan to import Argentine beef has one clear outcome: crush U.S. ranchers and depress local markets — while doing nothing to lower grocery prices.

Trump’s own adviser admits they’re “in discussions” to import beef from Argentina — a country currently facing foot and mouth disease.

How does a class action lawsuit work? Can the American people sue over this?

- Executive Order 11593 (1971) – Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment - Requires all federal agencies (including the Executive Office of the President) to “locate, inventory, and nominate to the National Register all properties under their control”

That’s why the process described isn’t optional, it’s the framework that has always protected the people’s house from unilateral or politically motivated alteration. These executive orders:

the Anti-Deficiency Act and federal ethics rules on funding and gifts. So yes, Section 107 means the NHPA can’t force compliance, but presidents are still bound by a network of executive orders, planning statutes, environmental laws, and constitutional duties.

More details: Section 107, let’s talk about it. The above process has always been the process taken, and here’s why. Section 107 of the National Historic Preservation Act exempts the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court

Yet Trump ignored every step, acting unilaterally through executive order, bypassing oversight, and ordering demolition as if he were a monarch. The result: the people’s house, altered without the people’s consent.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing. Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

The GOP-drawn map shifts more Republican voters into a Democratic-held battleground district, positioning the party to potentially gain another U.S. House seat in 2026.

Trump is having his own “let them eat cake” moment while so many go without pay, he’s busy building a ballroom and tearing down the people’s house.

As part of Trump’s planned Reduction in Force (RIF) during the government shutdown, the Interior Department said it plans to lay off about 2,050 employees, including 272 from the National Park Service (NPS), 335 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to swear in Grijalva. Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.
