Setting aside the absurdly xenophobic framing, once again, there is ZERO truth to any of this. Everyone qualifies for Emergency Medicaid equally. Hospitals do not receive more for treating undocumented immigrants in an emergency than Americans. Speaker Johnson is flatly wrong.

This Supreme Court will either be the last stand against autocracy or the bridge to it.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it. Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

It had been hours since the President had announced a tariff change, and all of this stability was killing the economy. He had to act to provide the American people with the uncertainty they deserve.

“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” wrote U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.

ICE doesn’t racially profile? This lie from the Trump admin gets four Pinocchios 🤥🤥🤥🤥

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

"It’s fine for Democrats to continue to make the case for our health care. But they need also now to make the case for our Constitution, and for our republic, and our country." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-rule-o...

Under Biden, DOJ & FBI discovered Tom Homan (Trump’s border czar) was accepting bribes for government contracts. Trump shut down the investigation, claiming there was no wrongdoing. As a human rights lawyer, I filed a FOIA request to uncover what they’re hiding. www.qasimrashid.com/p/i-foiad-th...

“While tariff revenue has indeed increased, that money didn’t fall from the sky and it wasn’t paid by other countries; it’s a tax on American consumers and businesses.” www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-farm...

There's ALWAYS a video clip. It's #DonaldTrumpsShutdown. He said so himself.

The lawlessness never ends. "During any other period of recent American history, this email would have been deemed a flagrant violation of the Hatch Act."

MORE...OF...THIS!!! Why isn't this happening at every damn press conference??

NEW: Advocacy groups sue the Trump administration’s creation of vast, centralized databases of Americans’ personal information for purging voter rolls and launching criminal investigations, arguing such databases violate federal privacy and regulatory procedure laws.

Bravo Judge Young 👏

A people who are tolerant of a couple innocent fishermen drone-struck here, a couple U.S. citizens wrongfully arrested or even deported there, a couple immigrants shot or brutally beaten, are going to be tolerant of more, and more, and more, until suddenly we're in "how could we have" territory

Hegseth to Geneva Conventions: drop dead

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

"conducting immigration checks inside a restricted emergency zone" Absolutely insane abcnews.go.com/US/ice-relea...

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

"As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties. The situation has exposed the agencies -- and therefore taxpayers -- to steep fees..." www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

US President Donald Trump falsely claimed Amish people living in the United States "have essentially no autism" during a White House announcement billed as offering findings on causes and treatments for the neurological and developmental disorder. Read more: u.afp.com/AmishAutism

NEWS: Trump seems to be implying he is going to sue ABC for bringing back Jimmy Kimmel. This is why you never bend the knee to a bully.

Important to note that Congress has never passed any law giving the President authority to designate anything as a “domestic terrorist organization.” As a result, this would appear to have no direct legal effect beyond acting as a statement of policy for the Executive Branch.

You gotta sit through two hours of conspiracies and lies just to find that one nugget of truth. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

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

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Every time I think it can’t get any stupider … this administration says hold my beer

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Credit to Rep. Neguse for remaining clear headed and respectful while still pushing for answers.

Important reminder: Government censorship is unconstitutional. Just last year, we successfully argued before the Supreme Court that the First Amendment bans the government from coercing or retaliating against companies to shut down speech that offends them. Read more: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

I didn’t have agreeing with Ted Cruz on my bingo card. “Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to revoke ABC’s licenses”

I've been trying to cancel my Hulu/Disney+ subscription, but the Cancel Subscription link isn't working on the Hulu website. If they thought that would be enough to dissuade me, they would be wrong. I just called instead 888-755-7907 #jimmykimmel #freespeech

States and cities can’t block legitimate federal operations, but they do have the power to decide whether and how they collaborate with federal law enforcement.

Military lawyers have warned that President Trump's strikes on two drug boats might not have been legal, possibly raising risks for the service members involved, "but believe they are being ignored or deliberately sidelined." www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Pay attention y’all. Sinclair is really trouble.

BREAKING: A court ruled that ICE can no longer detain immigrants in abusive conditions at 26 Federal Plaza while our case continues. This ruling requires ICE to provide people detained at the facility access to hygiene products, sleeping mats, and free, confidential calls to their lawyers.

Trump made his marching orders plain as day, saying, "Don’t even bother dealing with them." I’ve got some news for Republicans: if you "don’t even bother" dealing with Democrats, and find you don’t have the votes you need to fund the government—THAT is a Republican shutdown.
