bro we are so cooked

Leader Jeffries: We're deadly serious about addressing the Republican caused health care crisis because it's a deadly serious issue for the American people. The largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals closing. 20 million Americans on the brink of dramatically increased premiums

Oh I think you'll find that they just pretend that this never happened and was justified and SCOTUS will have played enough procedural games without getting into the merits to firmly rule on the merits against democrats

This entire thing is absolute failure. Complete misuse of resources.

Tbh I am going to level with you. How much do you think it costs the government for all those dudes to be standing there doing nothing (probably on travel OT)? How serious do you think their quotas are? The fact there that many ICE agents standing around chasing delivery guys..

I mean I think it was clear early on that Stephen Miller was kind of running the NSC

Kind of unfortunate that people thought they were electing Donald Trump, but it turns out they were electing Stephen Miller

Uh. That's.. exactly what you do?

I would say that Trump's proposal for Gaza is unserious, but I think that's really underselling just how little thought went into this

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

The absurdity in Chicago right now. #cdnpoli

MORE DETAILS on the Homan bribery allegations: “An ex associate of Trump’s border czar allegedly proposed a $1 million scheme that put FBI agents on Homan's trail… Homan said he did nothing wrong but did not address whether he accepted the $50K.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

The access-dependent Washington press corps is ignoring this revelatory Trump quote because it raises all sort of questions about his mental functioning and agency that they would rather not acknowledge. presswatchers.org/2025/09/trum...

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Separate from the fact that the mercantilism will continue until morale improves...I, for one, am glad that we fought an entire national election over the issue of IT security of our senior public officials. Congrats again, everyone.

Schumer after his meeting with Trump: "We have very large differences on healthcare and on their ability to undo whatever budget we agree to through rescissions and through impoundment."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Lol ok

Full state Complaint here!

Dems are being serious about saving healthcare for American families, while Trump is fixated on a fake issue. 📌 Undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for Medicaid or the ACA and he knows it! Trump and Republicans should just enforce the law. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS

"They said Hegseth is becoming increasingly 'obsessed' with his own security and exhibits frenzied behavior, such as fidgeting and pacing during meetings. "'"There’s a manic quality about him. Or let me rephrase, an even more manic quality, which is really saying something"' ...

Doesn't sound like a CR deal

Senators try to halt shuttle move, saying “little evidence” of public demand arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

Democrats need to hold the line and let Republicans own this shutdown. Then we can get back to the matter at hand: the Epstein files. Watch Rick Wilson explain on MSNBC:

Elon Musk’s X is the “go-to platform for antisemitic posters,” according to a new year-long study shared exclusively with CNN: https://cnn.it/3Wbsj0W

A shutdown is around the corner because Trump is refusing to negotiate a deal that protects affordable healthcare for millions of small business owners and middle-class families. Congress needs to extend ACA premium tax credits and keep folks in Texas and across the country insured.

JUST IN: Judge Simon sets a restraining order hearing for *tonight* on Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Oregon. Suggests he could issue a very quick order.

The public doesn't understand the finances of public universities. They don't know that unplugging 20-25% of the budget (federal $) + slashing tuition $ (👇) means less $ & "things" for their kids, & they don't know this because our leaders are absent from the public square: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

“.. It’s a better case for Comey, because the president won’t shut up,” said retired federal Judge John Jones. “And that’s admissible, so he’s got a fighting chance, I think, on vindictive prosecution.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/p...

Urban Institute #research experts estimate 4.8 million people could lose coverage and #healthcare spending could drop by $32.1 billion in the US if enhanced premium #tax credits expire. A new research brief breaks down the impact on spending and uncompensated care. https://urbn.is/4mHTUSj

Joseph Brusuelas of RSM US: "Because investors have been conditioned to the political theatre around the ongoing fiscal follies in DC these shutdowns simply no longer adversely impact equity markets & or move broader financial markets."

Honestly surprised it’s not more

This is so evil

Another hero that does not wear a cape. Please share to show this paperreading constable that should get a clue by doing this to an completely peacufull young lady.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has once again been torn away from his family & moved to Moshannon––the same facility I was denied from while attempting an oversight visit after allegations of abuse & inhumane conditions. Kilmar and everyone held at Moshannon deserve dignity & justice.

A state agency revoked the professional license of the leader of Iowa’s largest school district on Monday, days after federal agents arrested him on accusations that he was living and working in the country illegally.

After Pam Bondi issued threats towards Americans not on her side of the aisle, it's clear all of Trump's goons will do exactly what he wants. I look at the actions of Bondi and Stephen Miller and why we can't be intimidated by Trump. Watch here: youtu.be/0b0lZJBc9A8

Trump administration says it supports 1-year renewal of Africa trade initiative reut.rs/46IBtad

So is it a correct understanding that the Trump peace plan is Hamas releases all hostages, Tony Blair becomes viceroy, and if anyone has a problem with that the US washes its hands of any ethnic cleansing that ensues (not that we were exactly on it before).

By accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly to Saudi Arabia and make jokes about transgendered people at the crown-prince-sponsored Riyadh Comedy Festival, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. are displaying fearless defiance of humorless wokeness -- tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Man, first the pinkos at Cato produce a chart showing right-wing violence is much more prevalent than left-wing, and now the woke antifa National Review is claiming the Comey Indictment is invalid!

President Trump says "it's not appropriate" to take questions now about the Gaza peace plan but if Netanyahu wants to take a question from "a friendly Israeli reporter," he can. The prime minister declines the suggestion.

Democracy (and capitalism) at work
