This was the plan from the beginning!” “President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would meet with his budget chief to determine which “Democrat agencies” he could try to cut, relishing the government shutdown as an “unprecedented opportunity” to achieve his agenda.”

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

A Border Patrol Goon who deported thousands of undocumented immigrants was discovered to be undocumented himself.

“.. What this administration is doing is unprecedented, illegal and flat-out wrong. .. I’ve been deeply engaged in our federal government for over 30 years and there is nothing that has come close.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This, 💯%. And it's not merely messaging—it's just simple, discernible fact. The best messaging is messaging that reminds people of what is true and known to be true. The entire 2024 presidential campaign should have been about this.

GOP Last Week: "We control everything." Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?

There are many dark days ahead. But we will get through this.

Gov. Beshear: “What we're seeing on the other side is the president making threats, almost negotiating through blackmail, saying, 'If you don't agree to exactly what I want, I'm going to fire a whole bunch of people and cause a lot of pain.”

Imagine paying rent, buying groceries, and then get a bill with your insurance tripling. This could hit your inbox—and your future. HOW IT STARTED: $307 HOW IT’S GOING: $964

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

So much chaos, just to protect monsters in the Epstein files.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Weaponization of the National Archives now.

Irresponsible doesn’t even begin to cover it.

If there’s one thing you do today, listen to Andy McCarthy who made clear that there is no case against Comey. It’s not surprising Halligan had to present the case to the grand jury herself.

If I am the Republicans, I am not celebrating right now. Mike Johnson knows how bleak it is. Their signature legislation has a -29 rating and they’re about to shut down the government to avoid saving Americans’ healthcare. Trump may be popular at the Ryder Cup, but not with voters.

Governors are elected to protect their citizens, and courts have already limited his overreach. Yet Trump keeps pushing to normalize militarized cities. This isn’t about safety—it’s about consolidating power. When Trump talks about “emergency powers,” alarm bells should go off.

He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard. When the shoe is on the other foot and they can't demonize the left, they say nothing.

The right spent the day platforming a story suggesting left wing violence is the problem. The data doesn’t support it. At the same time, they ignore the fact that the guy who drove up to the Mormon church in Michigan, killed five people and set it on fire was a Trump supporter.

I'm excited about this! If you're in the NYC area please come on October 23rd!

It’s wild how little @jessicatarlov.bsky.social’s Fox colleagues understand about how things work

What a weak, sad, broken, little man.

Sour grapes. That’s why this is happening. ICE plans to run immigration enforcement at the Super Bowl. Cori Lewandowski: “ICE will be everywhere”

You gotta love hot mics.

dance for me dance for me oh ho

Dear Mr. Chief Justice - It is time to point out again that you have created a monster, and we are stuck with him. Why is he allowed to break the law DAILY with no repercussions? What makes him that special? The GOP and the Cabinet like to say all the time "the law applies to everyone." NOPE!!

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

TRUMP IS A PEDOPHILE!!! 🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

🎯 SEN. YARBRO: “Historically bad decision by Gov. Bill Lee to voluntarily sign up for whatever in the hell this is.”

It’s a shame that the September jobs report has been canceled. I’m sure it would have shown us how everything is going perfectly.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%. And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

I’ve known since January 6, 2021 that this cult will NEVER again accept election outcomes they don’t like. WE SAW AN INSURRECTION! They got away with it! Traitors were released from prison! NO ONE should be surprised they won’t swear in the Dem Rep. This is exactly why ELECTIONS CANNOT SAVE US.

Soooo True.. 👍
