Senate votes to REPEAL Trump's tariffs on Brazil. 5 Republicans vote with the Democrats. Great work everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🚨 The Senate votes 52-48 to overturn President Trump's 50 percent tariffs on Brazil. 5 GOP Senators break ranks to vote against Trump: Collins ME, McConnell KY, Murkowski AK, Paul KY, and Tillis NC.

You probably missed this key point in the initial news coverage since most headlines treated the DOJ announcement like it was no big deal. Read this to find out what’s really going on.

This.

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence. This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress.

Leftover bills from previous session must go to Whitmer, panel rules

The change in posture comes just before a hearing on Abrego’s motion to dismiss the charges for selective/vindictive prosecution. He has subpoenaed Deputy AG Blanche to testify. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

Great framing.

Senator Slotkin is right: let’s just focus on winning again. Democrats need to get serious and ruthless about winning seats, not just what makes us feel good.

The numbers don't lie. More than 8 in 10 Americans are worried about how Republicans letting ACA tax credits expire would affect coverage. But 3 weeks into the shutdown, House Republicans aren’t even here to figure out a solution.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

THEY ARE NOT BUILDING A BALLROOM!! THEY ARE BUILDING A BUNKER TO HIDE IN WHEN AMERICANS REALIZE THE AUTHORITARIAN TAKEOVER OF OUR GOVERNMENT Is almost here!!

Republicans still think Democrats will fold and give Trump exactly what he wants. But after Saturday’s historic protests, the pressure on GOP lawmakers is becoming too big to ignore. Tell your GOP representative to get back to work and end the Trump Shutdown: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

The level of lying is staggering. And this is after a decade of off-the-charts lying.

While they smear ‘No Kings’, Trump and the GOP can’t escape their own ‘Nazi’ problem

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Missourians will likely not recieve SNAP benefits in November and the Trump regime defunded food banks. He’s following Project 2025…cutting off food aid to children and the elderly. missouriindependent.com/2025/10/20/m...

NEW: Paul Ingrassia, Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told a group of Republicans in a text chain the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be "tossed into the seventh circle of hell" and said he has "a Nazi streak," according to a text chat viewed by POLITICO.

When tools like Mike Johnson warn about the “rise of Marxism” in the Democratic Party, let’s be clear: the Republicans steadfastly support Marxism, as long as wealth is redistributed to corporations and the rich

Oh wow

Democratic-led states secured a legal victory to keep the personal data of food recipients out of the federal government's reach. But NPR's reporting shows that millions of records on Americans have already been shared.

Can’t say I’ve seen too many palm trees here in Illinois. Maybe in the President’s home state of Florida though.

Wut

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

We had close to 7,000 out in Howard County, MD today to send a clear message to this administration that we will not stand for kings in America. Thanks to @vanhollen.senate.gov, @elfreth.house.gov, and the rest of our amazing speakers and musicians who shared your messages with us! #NoKings #Resist

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”
