Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.. She would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.

Bernie and AOC: If you only have to watch one video to understand the reason why the shutdown is happening, this is that one. #TrumpShutdown

Love @aoc.bsky.social Thank you for always speaking the truth! 💙🩵💙

The President. Of The United States. Is batshit insane. Full stop.

Evergreen tweet from 2013 #TrumpShutdown

All Americans deserve to be safe in church and in their communities. This news is heartbreaking and my thoughts are with the Grand Blanc community.

Thoughts and prayers? 💔

AOC: "If the Government shuts down, they are going to act like it wasn't their decision; it is their decision."

Every ICE agent, FBI agent, and politician serving had the right to refuse committing illegal acts and chose to do them anyway. They all need to pay the price when the time comes. Part of their oath is to obey the constitution regardless of orders. Fuck em all

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Danger! Danger! Here's the ICE facility in "war torn" Portland! I hope everyone will be okay! #Pinks #ProudBlue 👇👇👇

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

💯

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Bless whoever turned off the escalator on Trump at the UN! 😂

Imagine being so toxic that an escalator would rather shut down than lift you.

Trump repeatedly expressed his concern about autism yesterday when he told pregnant women not to take Tylenol. The research on Tylenol is mixed, some studies show an association, some don't. It's worth noting how his administration has undermined autism science www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...

Trump & RFKJr spread false claims linking Tylenol use to autism & ADHD—contradicting decades of science & putting women at risk by undermining trust in safe medications. Autism was diagnosed decades before Tylenol was invented. Health experts slammed the administration. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you find out about guns.

Tylenol would like a word with you all

You would have to purposely ignore her work ethic, and command of the issues to not hold her in the highest professional regard…

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Enjoy. 😎✨

This is how I'll be spending my morning! 🩵💙🤍

Barack Obama scolds media companies: Get a spine The former president said the media needs to "start standing up" for free speech after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

🤣🤣if only...

🎯 sound familar?

www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie... MAGA: “WE ARE NOT NAZIS!” Plan leaked that follows the NAZI playbook, but for Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ instead of Jews: YES YOU ARE NAZIS. Certified 100% NAZI #MAGANAZI #NAZIMAGA

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Barack Obama has been extremely cautious about using his voice to comment on most of the issues facing America since his presidency. The fact that he has been raising it so frequently lately should tell you something.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

“With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” Colbert said. “If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Sen. Alex Padilla: "This isn't about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power, to question authority, and to tell the truth without fear of retribution."

#MorningVibe Free speech is the heartbeat of democracy—it protects our right to question, to challenge, and to dream. When every voice can be heard, truth has a chance to rise, power can be held accountable, and communities can grow stronger together.
