The longer Congress is stuck in a shutdown, the greater the chances the government won’t have the data to provide updates on where the economy stands.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Illinois has blocked Trump administration authorities from using force against journalists in the Chicago area — including threats or arrest or riot control weapons. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration “doesn’t see all Americans as equal,” Georgetown University Constitutional Law and Global Health Policy professor Michele Bratcher Goodwin tells @antoniajuhasz.bsky.social More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.   American citizens are being detained & brutalized.   This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

There's absolutely nothing honorable about Pam Bondi. She was probably the best deal Trump paid the cheapest for. For a measly $25K, she dropped the Trump U fraud, sold her soul, decency, morals, dignity and conscience. May she end up in prison with Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Violence is not the cause of Trump and Miller’s desire to use state power to crush their opposition. It is the pretext for which they transparently long.”

A former White House cabinet secretary warned in a new essay Monday that President Donald Trump and a cadre of three officials are putting Americans in "imminent danger."

“Portland is burning to the ground.” This motherfucker belongs in a nuthouse, not the White House.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine. Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

Yes Indeed!

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Hamas is nuts. Bibi is nuts. Trump is nuts. So this all makes … perfect sense.

I know that America is not a Christian nation because if it were, we’d welcome immigrants, there’d be a job of foot washer at the boarder, Citizens United wouldn’t exist, the rich would be chased, the hungry would be fed, the homeless housed. Truth would be spoken to power. The last would be first.

Fascist republicans and their orange felon dictator deliberately shut down what’s left of the US Govt because they absolutely refuse to make healthcare affordable and available for everyone else. Some call it politics, I call it immoral, evil and inhumane. Pro life my ass.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA #USDemocracy #Pinks

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets. Do not be fooled.

Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. #YesOnProp50

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Jeffries: "Trump and the Republicans spent all year last year promising they were gonna lower the high cost of living. They also spent all of last year running away from Project 2025 ... now all of the sudden, Donald Trump admits it was his project all along. He just did it earlier today."

He lied about Project 2025. But, that's what pathological lying liars do... I told ya 2 days ago that they needed the shutdown to get Project 2025 back on track. Just sayin'

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"

🤣😂

Health insurance rates aren’t released in December, they’re released this month. We have to deal with this now or a lot more people are going to be priced out of health insurance.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

But I thought he said he “knew nothing about” Project 2025?

If you are shocked by what the Trump regime is publicly stealing or crimes it is committing, imagine the magnitude of the crimes they are actually hiding.

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

Fuckin A!
