"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves" Rest easy Jane 🫶🏽

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

They are so petty. So childish

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.

BREAKING: The US government shuts down after the Senate fails to pass a stopgap plan to fund it

Republicans have officially shut down the government. My office will remain open to serve my constituents.

Hayes: There are some people I have seen who who have the following theory: Schumer is worried about a primary challenge from you AOC: This is so not about me in this moment. This is about people being able to insure their children.

Trump shut the government down to fuel his authoritarian agenda. We’re fighting back fearlessly—for your health care, your rights, and a government that works for people. More updates soon.

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

"Why not agree to immediate funding, you negotiate ACA funding at a later date?" "Because Republicans won't negotiate those things! This is the same Republican party that just cut a TRILLION dollars from healthcare. Those are the people we're gonna trust to come to the negotiating table?"

Tell this to MaGA

Enough

@chrislhayes.bsky.social reports from Chicago: "Nothing about this city feels like a war zone—to use this city and others like it as a "training ground" is dangerously deranged."

We can’t allow the dysfunction of government to punish everyday Americans by letting the National Flood Insurance Program lapse, leaving families & businesses without critical protection. I introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the #NFIP ahead of its scheduled expiration at 11:59 tonight.

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Is there a recourse?

JUDGE McELROY: It’s “yet another case where the administration is saying … I’m going to do what I want to do and not what the law says and make the court make me.” @politico.com #FEMA @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

National security expert gives Trump's latest speech '10 out of 10' for 'most unsettling'

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Congress. The stupidest pudding contest ever. All we get is yellow snow. Grow up and do your jobs. Please

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Fund the government. Fix healthcare. Put workers first. Voters are demanding Congress protect affordable access to quality healthcare. navigatorresearch.org/americans-in...

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This signature?

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

The government will shut down in less than 12 hours if Congress doesn't act. Republicans control the whole government, and they're nowhere to be found.

The attacker on the LDS church in Michigan was a murderer. Who he voted for doesn’t matter. This kind of evil isn’t left or right — it’s just evil. And to overcome it, we all have to reject it without pointing fingers.

The government shuts down at midnight. Democrats are ready to keep the government open and protect the health care of the American people. Republicans are on vacation.

I wanna know why the justice department and the FBI war aren't investigating this?? 👿👇🏼😠💙

Yep. Sadly, it has become a pissing contest. Each side saying the other side is responsible. Clearly there is no one being responsible in the government. This madness has to end.

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?

Murkowski dares suggest that the Comey indictment looks a little corruptish.

With a shutdown looming, donald is golfing, repubs got sent home and democrats are trying to save the country AGAIN. Dems shouldn't always have to fix repubs mess, but here we are. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Another big tech company capitulated today as YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a bogus lawsuit brought by Trump. Here's what I can promise you: Democracy Docket will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never obey. Support the work of its 20 person team. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

How does Lindsey Halligan find the time to pretend to be a lawyer *and* appear on “The Young and the Restless”?

RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES.
