He didn't even win a majority, Katie.

The smug smile and shrug of the shoulders so similar to Mike Johnson. They really don’t care at all. They are showing Dems, they are just handing their power over to the president. They won’t be needed much longer.

No. No you are not.

I found this exchange with a high-ranking Trump Admin official particularly enlightening (and ironically extremely antisemitic).

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is donating $100,000 from his political fund to the progressive organizing group Indivisible — the latest in a series of donations he says total nearly $1 million to grassroots groups across the country taking on the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: Democracy Forward and federal labor unions are suing to block the threat of mass firings during the shutdown, saying they're an abuse of OMB Director Russ Vought's authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

HERE: Just now, Trump admits it: “A lot of good can come from a shutdown. We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn’t want, and they’d be democrat things.”

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Trump: "When you shut it down, you have to do layoffs. So, we'd be laying off a lot of people that are going to be very affected, and they're gonna be Democrats."

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Breaking: A government shutdown is now imminent after the Senate failed to pass stop funding bills.

NEW: Republicans refused to change the rules to fund the government with a simple majority, & failed to pass a funding bill. Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, & Angus King voted with republicans to fund the regime - but came up short in the end. THANK YOU to Schumer for not voting to fund this government.

I hope the DNC is listening, because here is something very important: you don’t need to hire a bunch of high dollar consultants for “messaging.” Talk to voters about prices and why they are so high. My MAGA mom just told my stepdad that prices are high because of Trump‘s tariffs.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

This.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

BREAKING: A second Trump-appointed U.S. attorney has been disqualified after a federal judge ruled her appointment invalid. Sigal Chattah is out as US attorney in Nevada, just like Alina Habba in NJ: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There we are.

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

It's wild that Speaker Johnson is refusing to open the House for business in order to avoid an Epstein vote.

Republicans who control the entire government failed to keep it open

Republicans are at fault. Their bigoted, facist agenda is whats causing this.

Oh looks like the Associated Press has gone full fascist. Don't worry we will remember that. DO NOT read this article below and DO NOT read anything that the @apnews.com puts out. They have chosen to go full Nazi and are a THREAT to the people of the United States.

The MSM is the enemy of the people.

does jeff bezos have editorial control over the AP now too

Trump GOP Spread Lies About Democrats Shutting Down A Government They Have No Control Of. There, APNews, fixed it for you.

Perfect example of how the media has failed and continues to fail. Grade: F

The AP is trying to make up for the Gulf of Mexico

Try reporting the truth. GOP controls everything. If they want the govt open they can do it in an instant. Either report TRUTHFULLY or not at all.

Bad headline @apnews.com. Republicans fail to pass a bill to keep the government open.

The media never asks Republicans why they won’t compromise to keep the govt open. Because only Democrats are expected to be responsible adults.

Republicans. Are. The. Majority.

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

Judge Young describes how DHS pulled people from actual NatSec jobs to look thru all students Canary targeted, just like people have been pulled to arrest grannies & review Epstein files (though notes "The Court takes no position as to the Public Officials’ prioritization of HSI’s resources")

Me: You got the shutdown you demanded and now you can either spend your time doing the work to make it what you badly want and need it to be or you can whine about Schumer. Spyd34: I choose the easy route of whining.

Judge Young catches a witness conflating animus towards Israel and animus towards Jews, then notes State specifically distinguishes the two. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's probably time to start a repository of inflammatory speech from Tricia McLaughlin that shows up in legal cases (about 9 of them show up in LaMonica McIver's case).

I argued the other day that butt cracks & beer bellies of ICE men rolling violently in the street is a negative spectacle that has drowned out the staged spectacles Stephen Miller has tried to set up. I think today's Generals speech ended up being another. www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/29/b...
