My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Buy my book Legally I can't make any money from it but if it does well enough that I'm allowed to be part of the conversation about book sales: 100% of the money that would have been allocated to me as the author will go to survivors of the genocide in Gaza and Congo I'll do my best

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Hamas is nuts. Bibi is nuts. Trump is nuts. So this all makes … perfect sense.

If Donald Trump is awarded the Nobel peace prize it will mean that the Nobel peace is worthless.

Infuriating

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

Outrageous. The pride flag was on his desk in 2024! “I have determined that you exercised poor judgment w/an inappropriate display of political signage in your work area during your previous assignment in the Los Angeles Field Office,” Patel wrote, according to MSNBC. 📰 www.al.com/politics/202...

I am Latino. I speak Spanish. I go to Home Depot. Now that SCOTUS has greenlit indiscriminate immigration enforcement, what’s to stop ICE from picking me or anyone in our community who looks like me up? That’s why I’ve demanded answers from DHS about their use of unconstitutional racial profiling.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: If we do not make changes and fight back effectively, you're going to see 15 million Americans lose their health insurance through the cuts in Medicaid and the ACA. That's what's at stake.

While Congressional Republicans are on vacation, I was out in the district yesterday chatting with folks about the impact of the Trump-Republican government shutdown and what it means for them and how we're fighting to lower the cost of health care for Central Floridians.

Accurate

Trump wants to use a shutdown of Republicans’ own making to keep YOU in the dark about our economy. The September jobs numbers are ready – and Trump must release them. Without them, the Fed is flying blind while making decisions that impact you.

The shutdown isn’t a game. Veterans, families, and communities are paying the price while Trump refuses to do his job.

Democrats Pull Away From AIPAC, Reflecting a Broader Shift... AIPAC has broadly overplayed its hand, lost track of what binds Israel to US (DEMOCRACY) and become aligned with the rightwing govt not the people of Israel. Like ADL it has lost its way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

Republicans are lying about who’s to blame for this shutdown so they’ve resorted to blatant partisan hackery on official agency websites. These violations of the Hatch Act are Exhibit A of the Republicans' desperation to divert from the truth: the GOP owns this shutdown. youtu.be/jwqrxcrfsf8?...

Early this morning, a British synagogue was attacked, killing two and critically injuring four more people. This happened on Yom Kippur—the holiest day of the year for Jewish people. (1/2)

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year. I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

Trump hands Ds a gift (if they know how to use it). FOTUS can't cut "Democrat Agencies" without harming his own voters that rely on services in the districts of his R members of Congress. Rev up D-hosted Town Halls in R areas again to give voice to the pain Trump owns! 🦋 bsky.app/profile/ship...

You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people. Donald Trump has confessed his contempt and hatred for Americans. And his suggestion that our military be turned against those people he hates, and views as his enemy, is something we all should speak out against.

Wishing everyone observing in IL-11 and across the world a meaningful Yom Kippur!

No family should face unsafe conditions to see their loved ones. I am calling on DHS and the GEO group to do better and end the inhumane practices at Delaney Hall Detention Center.

Last night, the government entered a shutdown for the first time in 6 years. Meanwhile, Trump wastes millions of taxpayer dollars sending federal agents to intimidate Chicagoans. It’s clear Republicans care more about political theater and spreading fear than they do about helping Americans. (1/2)

For MAGA, facts are pesky things

This use of a government website is infuriating and it's a violation of the law. Republicans are solely responsible for this shutdown. They control of every part of government. They shut it down because it suited their agenda to shut it down and blame Democrats. www.hud.gov#close

I'm tired of the BS directed against Muslims in politics by some fellow Democrats. (Obviously GOP is awful--but there's a small % of Dems who need to be challenged on the bigotry.) I will be calling it our more and more going forward. If that is is going to upset you then please unfollow me. Thanks

Trump and Republicans are holding the federal government hostage while ripping away Americans’ health care and jacking up costs.

The assumption that the side “causing” the shutdown is destined to lose is faulty when the president is underwater on every issue, the economy is in decline, and he seems obsessed with everything but the shutdown issues (persecuting his enemies, politicizing the military, etc.).

Trump and Republicans are causing health care costs for millions of Americans to skyrocket. Now, they’re refusing to negotiate to fix the crisis they caused. They are responsible for this government shutdown.

📣 @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com details how military commanders who listened to Donald Trump’s “deranged” speech have to be wondering “just how much more dangerous their jobs are now that they've seen just how lost and sick their Commander-in-Chief is.” 📺 youtu.be/gPpUI3xJx_c?...

“If you call us fascists, we’re going to put you behind bars.”

Folks. Don’t swallow the BS. The republicans have broken every norm, so why didn’t they kill the filibuster to avoid a shutdown? Because they want it. Now they can fire 200,000 more people and heaven knows what else is in store.

Over 800 top military brass sat quietly as Trump declared a new "war from within" — an American battlefield he claimed was more dangerous than any foreign war zone. Trump eviscerated decades of civil-military restraint and proclaimed the armed forces his weapon of choice against domestic "enemies."

REMINDER: It's now 254 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein file. What is in the file Trump does NOT want us to see?!

The federal government may not open again until Democrats win the House in November 2026. Trump wants the government shutdown so he can grab even more power.

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government — blocking our bill to fund it responsibly, protect health care, and stop Trump from getting a blank check for his lawlessness. They’d rather please their Dear Leader than deliver for the American people. Shameful.

Thank you!! That means so much to us.

From @BulwarkOnline — Republicans are lying about the Dems wanting to fund health care for undocumented people. Not that @RepTimBurchett has ever cared about the truth. www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...
