STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

ME: "Jesus, why does your close friend Speaker Mike Johnson relentlessly bear false witness?" JESUS: "WHO???"

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life”

Trump's struggle to walk down stairs raise new questions about Biden's advanced age.

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

When reality hits.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

About to go live!

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

Good night, Bluesky!

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

🕯🇺🇦 President Zelensky honored the memory of fallen defenders. Today, on Defenders' Day, he paid tribute to those who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of Ukraine.

Trump is cutting health insurance funding, slapped a tariff on pharmaceutical imports, and now wants to force you to buy from TrumpRX - a crisis he created to profit from. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

Pfizer "secured a three-year grace period from President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on pharmaceuticals" and in return will "sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx" looks like state capitalism to me www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I would sooner die or go broke than go to a website called TrumpRx

Imagine getting flown out of your command to hear this idiot ramble about politics and the Gulf of America

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

You don’t have to do layoffs. And he specifically says that they are going to permanently terminate civil servants who are registered Democrats.

UPDATE ON BARBARA MARQUES: ICE is attempting to deport her tomorrow despite a federal court reopening her case. Deporting her now would be illegal under federal law but ICE is trying to do it anyway. Please flood these offices with calls to uphold the law and stop Barbara’s illegal deportation.

You know he wants to say the "N" word in public so badly. You know he is probably always saying it privately. #trumpisracist #trump #dunce #buffoon #idiot #wannabedictator #hate Thank you @thebulwark.com for these shorts. youtube.com/shorts/0XnQ1...

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.

This is one of the most demented things Trump has posted

This infuriates me! Let me get this straight. We wait until every innocent person, child, etc. is either murdered or starves to death, and then Trump wants to build a resort on that land. Trump knows no bounds! He’s lower than low! Scum! I for one would not visit that resort if I was paid to.

🚨👀 Despite the Republican/Trump/right wing media bravado - the public is set up to BLAME the REPUBLICANS for shutting down the govt (they control) by DOUBLE DIGITS. This is even according to their own house organ - Politico. Now if Dems like Schumer/Jeffries still contemplate surrender ...

He seems nice.🙄 Imagine if these kids were black.

From "The Holy Land" to "The Land of the Free", felons of a feather plunder the world together.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Trump’s words in 2013: presidents are always to blame. His words now: blame Democrats. Lies. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

What the hell are you two doing?!? You wanna know why our party has a 26% approval rate? This is why! Start fighting or get the hell out of the way and let us do it. We are losing our freaking country! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

He's been failing since before he was elected.

One of the many immediately forgotten achievements of President Biden was the first federal gun violence legislation in years. As President Obama often says, progress is possible; and pessimism is the ally of the gun nuts who have captured our nation.

The Mormons were driven from place to place in the East and Midwest by violent bigots, until they ended up in Utah. It was somehow inevitable that they, along with so many other Americans, would be targeted again.
