Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

He lies as he breathes.👇

‼️

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar. End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include: -Amazon -Apple -Coinbase -Lockheed Martin -Google -Meta -Microsoft -Palantir -Tobacco companies -The Adelson family Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...

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.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page. The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores. The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

Are we winning yet?

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Democrats are demanding that Republicans extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. They're willing to shut down the government to do it.

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

This was a fun read. The executives at Disney are reportedly in full-on panic mode and have no exit plan screenrant.com/disney-scram...

Ted Cruz on Brendan Carr threatening ABC over Jimmy Kimmel: “That’s right out of Goodfellas… We shouldn't be threatening government power to force him off air. That's a real mistake.”

Ted Cruz blasts FCC Chair Brendan Carr: "I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying we're going to decide what speech we like and what we don't, and we're going to threaten to take you off air if we don't like what you’re saying."

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Good day to remind people that we wouldn't have this Supreme Court if it weren't for Mitch McConnell deciding that no Justices can be considered during an election year and then deciding that Justices can be confirmed one month before an election. McConnell's evil directly enabled Tr*mp's evil.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

We found the waste, fraud, and abuse… Trump’s ICE spent $560,000 on tricked-out trucks for a hype recruitment video. The vehicles were purchased and styled to look like Trump’s private jet. This is where your tax dollars are going.

I may not want Newsom for 2028, but I am a fan of his current work. I welcome another Democrat to match his energy. Until then-play thru, sir.

I’ve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but he’s handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. 🤣🤣🤣

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

This administration let people die who could have been saved. The responsibility could not be more clear & direct.

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill. Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW. “This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥 @aoc.bsky.social

As Trump heads to the so-called “grand opening” of the Florida migrant facility, this definition - from the Holocaust Memorial Museum - needs to be widely shared and understood.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

US Bishops on One Beautiful Bill Act: “As Pope Leo XIV recently stated, it is the responsibility of politicians to promote and protect the common good, including by working to overcome great wealth inequality. This bill does not answer this call. It takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.”

I can’t take any more of these heartbreaking stories.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

👇🏼Finally!

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"
