FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to illegal immigrants.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Looks like it's time to boycott Apple. They caved like a house of cards as soon as the DOJ asked them to remove the app helping communities track ICE activity.

Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Should we really believe a word he says about the government shutdown?

New in PN: Lessons from a Red Scare "As Emma Goldman hoped, and Louis Post later demonstrated, the American people are capable of turning the tide against repression — even if that effort feels hopeless in the moment."

Everyone knows this madman can't focus on anything -- whether a tech project or a formal agreement or anything like a principle -- long enough to be trusted for anything but the trail of money he leaves behind like a snail's slime.

I just meant it's a Dem President's job, not my job, I do what I want & also, his language & speech from this to now omg wow quite the decline

Normalize fearless American leaders stepping up and calling out trump's dementia out loud, and demanding that the 25th Amendment be invoked.

Soybean farmer: What we need is a strong demand for soybeans and to get some trade going instead of scaring it away with tariffs. We need competition because the American farmer is great at producing healthy crops for a reasonable price. When we have a level playing field, we're going to win

It’s fun to read this Politico story against the backdrop of that oath to only report approved news that the Pentagon tried to get reporters to sign. I think every quote is an anonymous snipe. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE. Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.   Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.
