Night SkyBees ❤️ The Republican Government Shut Down has begun. Time for a National Strike.

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money. Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

It's midnight in D.C., and the government has officially shut down.   Why? Because Republicans don't even want to TALK about how to stop your premiums from doubling.   This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Make sure everyone knows it.

For a guy who's not qualified for his own job, it's pretty discriminatory to talk about women who are qualified to do their jobs," Duckworth said.

Today your voices were heard. We will need to be loud throughout the shutdown and continue to put pressure: No anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in the final negotiated bill. Only clean bills that don't throw trans and queer people under the bus. Kicked butt today y'all. Good work.

And a slight side note: I'm very happy to see Democrats willing to play hardball and having a spine on Republican demands in general, even with the Republican CR. It's good to see them fighting for ACA provisions and against rescissions.

Update: horrifying details about last night's raid are emerging. Organizers + electeds are reporting potentially dozens of people (at least 40 per initial estimate) were detained. Not much more confirmed at this time. More will be shared at press conference at 5 at corner of 75th & South Shore.

I called Speaker Mike Johnson's office saying he needs to immediately swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The aide hung up on me! WOW!

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There’s no denying that autism can bring challenges for your kid or your family, no matter your child’s personality or specific needs. But please know that most problems you encounter will be due to lack of understanding and accommodation about autism from other people and society in general. 10/

I feel so awful for parents of newly diagnosed autistic kids right now, being drowned in such hateful nonsense. You deserve better. Your autistic kid deserves better. My kid was diagnosed 20 yrs ago; please let me give you hopeful advice: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/09/afte... #autism #parenting

WATCH: "For a Reagan-appointed judge to be out and out talking about secret police in United States of America in the year 2025 tells us everything about what's going on," says AOC.

Trump has stolen our highly sensitive confidential documents, our personal data, our national treasury system data, cut funding that congress debated and passed into law, betrayed our allies, destroyed our economy, fired veterans, gutted their funding for healthcare benefits, WHO’S THE ACTUAL ENEMY?

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

facts and names.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Republican President Republican House Republican Senate

Trump has basically declared war against Americans with his speech to military officers.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Breaking: The federal government has shut down under Donald Trump again.

Authorization for the largest residential flood insurance program in the U.S. is set to expire Tuesday, leaving homeowners unable to access new coverage and potentially wreaking havoc on home sales in flood-prone areas. https://to.pbs.org/3KrWpL7

Welp, it's that time of year when the GOP decides governing like adults just isn't the vibe they're feeling, and they close up shop for a while.

Now that it's Covid shot season, it's time again for me to beat the drum about this: Every time you get infected with Covid, your chance of getting disabling Long Covid is higher than it was the last time. No matter how "mild" your infection. Be afraid, be very afraid, of Long Covid.

They don’t actually care about Senate rules they could change or a budget they would ignore. They care about power more than democracy, more than America, more than you. They sold out the Constitution completely. They’re craven nihilists. They welcome fascism.

Gov shuts down for two reasons: 1. Rs aren’t promising anything good 2. Rs won’t keep their promise anyhow There’s only one condition that would make it possible to negotiate: get rid of 🍆🥔. Rs are all-in on fascism now. They want it more than they want a budget, which is why they won’t pass one.

Rise Up Federal Workers Legal Defense Network Launch per Nat'l Assn of Federal Employees NARFE @narfehq.bsky.social workerslegaldefense.org

EXCLUSIVE: Vulnerable Republican Rob Wittman was caught fundraising at an expensive D.C. restaurant instead of doing his job to stop a government shutdown. He also claimed Republicans were working today, but they weren’t on the floor.

This MFS mandates high, sex-neutral, combat-focused standards for all members. Active component must pass 2 annual tests (Service Test + Combat Field/Readiness Test). Body composition is measured by height/waist circumference. Leaders must ensure strict enforcement. Failure can lead to separation.

Looks corrupt as hell to me.

The movie Porcelain War is really something.

Trump literally declares war on citizens of the USA to military generals, and the press yawns... literally. That is how bad they are. Cancel your subscriptions. Turn them off. Walk away. Do it now.

lol wow

Had an intern ask why we hadn’t heard anything and I was like well… look at who’s in charge but also I’m sure some or most of the people that usually send out guidance are no longer at agency… sooo…

8,195 reported sexual assaults on service members in 2024. So Hegseth wants to get rid of the mechanism for making anonymous reports. It's a pattern all over this administration: any data they don't like, they just stop collecting that data.

i'm guessing this is for his buddies who have been accused of war crimes or blatant racism

Unhelpful update but no one knows shit and those who do are not saying shit. SPEAK UP Y’ALL, tell us what’s going on.

The deathly silence in place of applause said a lot more than words could, especially in that situation.

1. Don't expect a bunch of generals to quit. 2. They are career people and will carry out DoD policy as long as it pertains to DoD. 3. Do expect that if illegal orders come down, they will then resign, as needed. 4. That room full of people now despises Trump a lot more than they did yesterday.

Winter is approaching and I'm considering purchasing a Lenny Kravitz scarf. The Chicago winter has broken the spirits of many. I want to lug around a big ol blanket and call it clothes. I am prioritizing comfort this year and that means wearing a comforter to work.

“The ones that are run by the radical-left Democrats — what they’ve done to [SF], Chicago, [NY], [LA] — they’re very unsafe places, and we’re going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within.”

before and after hegseth's directive

It should be at least 80%. But the media likes to blame democrats.

I prefer “let’s fuck”?

Good night ✨ Every Monday, a neighbor slips quarters into the laundromat machines for others to use — a quiet, steady kindness. May we all find our own small ways to care for one another. Especially now. 💚💙💜 Sleep well, family 💤. May tomorrow bring kindness your way ☀️🌸

Something I keep thinking about while watching the creation of right-wing heroes in real time is how clearly this demonstrates the structure, the apparatus, that underlies what we think of as fame or celebrity

Van Hollen consistently doing and saying just top tier stuff

They are finding every way possible to force women and people of color out of the military. This is not about standards. It's discrimination, pure and simple.
