Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The singer said that nobody from the Trump administration asked his permission to use his '80s rock hit.

'They’re losing': Insider details how Trump’s unpopularity makes him lash out even more

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

WTAF—why does ICE need “guided missile warheads”?! popular.info/p/ice-boosts...

In the future, the children of all those who have spent the last few years attacking Ms Rachel will be ashamed of their own parents, while all the world’s children who have watched Ms Rachel lead with courage and compassion will be proud that human beings like her exist.❤️✊🏽

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

everyone is welcome and encouraged to resist fascism, to fight back but we can’t just go back to Clinton/Obama neoliberalism it wasn’t working then, it got us where we are now, and it won’t get us out

in a time of the last, primal scream of those residual, still-broken, never-to-be-fixed white people -- not all, but too many -- for whom fear, insecurity and compounded generations of entitlement are proving more important than any pretended ideal of democracy, or equality, or empathy. It sucks.

...in their war on immigrants of color, or those of differing faith today, the descendants of these same losers are strutting around pretending that they played by the same set of rules, and arrived here with some greater authority and purpose than basic survival. We are living....

...to the top of their societies for whatever reason. They were the losers in Europe, the fuck-ups, the unwanted, unloved and undesirable of some other continent hoping for a second chance at that no one would ask too many questions. Which no one did because they were, again, white. And...

...who finds himself a refugee on this miserable and failing blue orb at any time in human history, they were running from famine and misrule, religious intolerance or poverty with no fucking legacy other than it was their turn to be among the teeming mass of excess humanity that couldn't rise...

...because with the exception of Africans dragged her unwillingly to work for these fragile fucks, white people saw no reason to impose upon themselves. They weren't abiding by the immigration codes of their day, or applying for any permission to move to a better life. Like everyone else...

...be advised that he's lying to you and probably to himself as well. The fact is that when the Scots and Germans and English were washing up here in waves, they didn't abide by immigration codes or suffer any review of their credentials or concerns about their point of origin. There were no laws...

So, get this straight: If you ever meet some bloated white shitheel talking to you about being a "legacy American," or worse, constructing some horseshit about how he's not actually a frightened race-conscious snowflake but simply someone who wants the immigration laws enforced....

...and Jews who were all quite obviously anarchists and Marxists and incapable of assimilating into our national ethos. This was preceded of course by concerns about the less-than-white Irish contaminating the brand, but the Know Nothings of the 1850s weren't backed by legislative quotas...

...fragile white demagogues began to wail about opium dens and pale damsels falling into corrupted sexual slavery and for the first time, the United States had an immigration quota. This was followed in 1924 by overall quotas for Europeans who were seen as less than white, especially Italians...

Minit-thread: Bears repeating daily at this point: There were no immigration laws at all until white people on the West Coat began to fear the dreaded Yellow Peril of Chinese immigration in the 1880s. That's right. While these people were building railroads across mountain and plain...

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

QOTD: "…if you genuinely believed that preteen girls are old enough to be mothers while males in their thirties are too young to comprehend fascism, then you logically wouldn't trust men to be responsible for anything more consequential than a balloon animal, let alone a government." -Dean Burnett

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

The fact that AIPAC won’t endorse me is an endorsement in and of itself.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

One of the best parts of the “Trump wants a $230 million payoff from the DOJ” story: The DOJ said the matter will be steered by officials who will “follow the guidance of career ethics officials.” Left unsaid: Pam Bondi fired the DOJ’s top ethics official in July. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that Gregory Bovino and other officials can be questioned under oath over agents using chemical agents on protesters, journalists, and clergy in Chicago. A lot of ICE agents still mistakenly think that they’ll never be held accountable. They will.

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Shitburger Cruz gets caught lying about #NoKings crowds

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

The grown up version of the Classic schoolyard bully.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

Marimar Martinez was shot by ICE & ended up with 7 bullet wounds A TikTok influencer was shot today in south LA A 15 year old autistic boy disappeared & ended up in federal custody Chemical munitions are being used ICE not only targets disabled people, their actions may be a mass disabling event

A chaotic scene briefly erupted in downtown Manhattan when ICE agents began arresting illegal street vendors, a law enforcement official told CNN. It was not immediately clear how many arrests were made.

It certainly appears Mike Johnson cares more about protecting Jeffrey Epstein than working for the American people. Full interview with AG Mayes is up now on our YouTube channel. youtu.be/Wwbwyn1lxH8
