Today in Politics, Bulletin 220. Everything you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

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.

My ACA premium is going to more than double in January. My family can’t afford that.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

Federal workers at multiple agencies get emails blaming #Democrats for shutdown. #US #UnitedStates

Congress is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

My hope is this did more to turn the military against Hegseth than for the administration. What a moron!

I am thinking, probably don’t base your decision to invade another American city on something you watched on television

'out of the three mass shootings today'

🙄

I am genuinely scared there is going to be a moment soon when American soldiers are ordered to open fire on peaceful protesters. There is no organized political violence or terrorism!

It took 10 days www.npr.org/2025/09/26/n...

I don’t see a single mention of Hortman, Pelosi, or any of a number of other Democrats or left wing politicians and activists who have been targets of threats or assassination.

Not sure why this isn’t the top story everywhere. This is the prelude to martial law.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

He’s knows that he’s openly admitting corruption—he doesn’t care. This is what happens when the Supreme Court decides POTUS is a king.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Tylenol ain't taking this shit From tylenol.com

Tom Homan took a $50,000 bribe on tape and he still has a job.

I know a lot of crazy shit happened in the last two days, but why aren’t we still talking about the Epstein files?

*me picturing Trump breaking in on a breastfeeding mom* I”t’s too much liquid…!!!”

The only question reporters should be asking Tom Homan any longer is why he took the &50k.

LYING LIARS LIE CHEATING CHEATERS CHEAT STEALING STEALERS STEAL

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is ONE WHINY BITCH. He spends an endless amount of time in interviews and speeches bemoaning the "lack of a rule of law" and how his Supreme Court "isn't respected" and then gives Mango Mussolini any and everything he wants. Bitch, please.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Why? Because he is black.

Cambodia and Armenia woke up not knowing they’ve been fighting each other According to the president, Armenia has also been fighting Albania and Aberbaijan - not to confuse with Azerbaijan

Boycott everything affiliated with ABC and Disney. Pass it on.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Repost ad infinitum.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

Honestly, this revenge tour is just exhausting

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. In other words, I am the *opposite* of his cowardly employer.

So when is the Melissa Hortman day of remembrance?

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
