TAPPER: I don't understand why you're not calling the House back in session MIKE JOHNSON: Members are doing important work in their districts right now TAPPER: But the work legislating is also important work

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

This is what I will never understand about this particular democrat party leadership right now. Solutions are there, they stand idly by.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

MORE OF THIS PLEASE!! If our local law enforcement wants the support of the people who vote for their salaries, stand with the people AGAINST tyranny! Show us that you will protect US against lawlessness, no matter what those ICE GESTAPO assholes think they have the right to do. Stand with

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

I'd rather my tax dollars go toward helping someone less fortunate than that money going to subsidize some greedy billionaires tax obligations.

This is the USA. Not some “third world country” we were taught to fear growing up as Gen X. It’s here. We have to protect ourselves and our fellow humans from the president of the United States. I never thought I’d live to see this day.

Jasmine Crockett: "Stop believing the lies they are putting out there. The only person that is harming you right now is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems you are enduring"

Released on this day in 1981 (as declared by #TheCure website), Charlotte Sometimes was a non-album single. The single reached No. 44 on the #UKSinglesChart. It was later included on the bonus disc of the deluxe edition of Faith, released in 2005.

These are the HEROES OF OUR COUNTRY. HOLY SHIT. Do you see the woman? Hispanic/ Latina herself and not an ounce of fear oozing from her as she placed herself between the goons & the oppressed.

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

This just brought so many tears and emotions to me. A real humanitarian.

You. So lost and lonely…

(For anyone needing a translation: “Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world, here in the US, who have worked to open doors—it's not just a win for me, it's a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution to this country—no one will ever be able to take that or erase it.”)

Thank you toeveryone who shared and signed the petition to free Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in ICE custody for over 8 months. What’s being done to him and other disabled immigrants is appalling, and we need to apply public pressure & help as many people as possible:

ICE ads tonight are all over my tv screen during the ACC game showing FSU vs UM. I’m an FSU alum and I’m sure our governor gave space away to those ghouls. It sickens me. I cut my service off starting the 13th of this month bc of Kimmel. I will not be a part of this. #Facsism

Here’s an older video of an 87-year-old veteran who was arrested for protesting. I have the utmost respect for these men! ✊

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Please just die already.

Please be safe in the Chicago area. Ice is detaining black women

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Hello? 911? I’d like to report a murder.

Couldn’t let that Epstein vote happen. Trump-Epstein Shutdown

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” -Elie Wiesel, an actual Nobel Peace Prize winner

Bullet casings collected from the scene were engraved with the words "has enough time passed now that we can collectively admit that the Barbie movie wasn't that amazing"

Remember: Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer won't see your posts making fun of them but your friends and relatives who lead minority political parties under authoritarian regimes will.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

The unsung heroes of America: lifelong agency workers at Social Security, Medicare, VA and so many other agencies who are staying there to ensure the American people are taken care of. They didn’t have to stay. They are being worked into the ground. Thank you with all of my heart.🙏

Laughing at someone with disabilities will NEVER be funny to me no matter how you frame it. I’ve survived 7 ischemic strokes & am about to go through a heart valve transplant at 48 & hope that my teens have a mom in a month but sure, my shaky hands are still somehow laughter for others. #Empthathy

What the actual fuck is wrong with the water in the maga crowd? Is it the Flourtite? Lack of vaccines? Lack of brain cells? Why does this keep happening?

Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

This week, the world learned that a new HIV prevention drug will be available for $40/year in 120 countries by 2027. Yet millions of people in countries with growing HIV crises still are left out. Today, health groups came together to support access for everyone, everywhere.

📌Always read the warnings ...

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin
