Jeffries: "Trump and the Republicans spent all year last year promising they were gonna lower the high cost of living. They also spent all of last year running away from Project 2025 ... now all of the sudden, Donald Trump admits it was his project all along. He just did it earlier today."

“This administration’s strategy is to just push the most horrific developments possible and see what sticks, see what they can get away with. And so the imperative on us to resist is higher than ever.”

Millions of veterans got this email from the official VA account with a blatant political smear and lie about the government shutdown yesterday. This is a massive violation of the law and federal regulations using our government resources for political actions.

REPORTER: Should ERs check immigration status before treating a dying patient? LEAVITT: That's probably not a question for me to answer. That's a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts to answer. (That's not a no!)

Musk hit $500B net worth and he (and the rest of these worthless parasites) should be taxed 100% on 99.8% of it without exception.

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. § 7326. A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

Identifying faceless ICE agents. Mutual aid for jailed protesters. Calling JD Vance a fascist. The war on ‘antifa’ is a war on free speech, and it’s just getting started. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social and @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/79051...htt

In the Trump regime, every accusation is a confession. The terrorism is coming from inside the White House. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.” - Trump, October 31, 2024

If you are following the story of The Pentagon's new policy, nicknamed, "you must check with us before you dream of doing any journalism," you may enjoy this update from @status.news

not a single news org signed. that's what it takes. stand together. everywhere, every time.

Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

Once again, if for some reason you’re actually relying on Politico for news, you can achieve the exact same results by striking your forehead with a hammer a few dozen times.

This is a Bad Thing™, and it's because of bad assumptions. It assumes everyone in Congress cares about a paycheck. It means in a case like this (horrible squeeze by a corrupt party) it ups the pressure on the members of Congress who need their paycheck - those that aren't independently wealthy.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

It’s true despite GOP claims that undocumented people already aren’t eligible for public plans and neither party is trying to change that. But we should? It’s gross to accept that most of our taxes can and will be used to drop bombs yet also insist we can’t possibly cover medicine for our neighbors.

This is how it's done www.cbsnews.com/chicago/vide...

Stephen Miller is a fascist and we need to stop the fascists. The fact that he wants to stop people from calling him a fascist--political speech that has been said about people in every administration of this country for decades--is proof that he is a fascist.

Why would any legislator vote for a budget the executive will ignore? In that situation, a yes vote conveys one thing and nothing else: validation for the White House’s blatantly unconstitutional actions.

Very much worth reading parts of Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment. Notable that a decision from a Reagan appointee is filled with paragraphs like this one. Story here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

“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

Tried this on @kagi.com and I'm pleased to see no censorship of results

Just incredible cowardice from Google all over the place www.theverge.com/news/789152/...

This is fucking Venezuelan. This is how Chavez completely wrecked private enterprise there.

If you made it a debate on fascism, the American people would respect you.

Adults with permission to use guns to kill people shouldn't make those kinds of mistakes. There shouldn't be adverse reviews to maintain, it should be zero tolerance dishonorable discharge.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Trump seems to call American citizens 'the enemy from within' again: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances … It's the enemy from within and we have to handle it."

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Americans call him a fascist because he is a fascist

American citizens in American cities are now the enemies of the state who should be "taken out." But don't call him an authoritarian.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

great art and star wars: thread

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Same as it ever was.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

I never really played a ton of #EAGames , but it looks like an upgrade to a full boycott rather than line the pockets of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?
