It’s happened to all of us? Speak for yourself Cris. I have never fumbled the ball in the National Football League.

Texas Sucks Week starts NOW.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

and scene

Republicans are happy to collect taxes from blue states, then Budget Dictator Russ Vought cuts off their funding approved by Congress. No cuts yet from the Dictator to red states. Vote out Susan Collins since she is powerless as Appropriations Chair & every R in blue states.

Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

MPD & ICE are in lockstep because they are just different flavors of the same oppressive carceral system. That’s why there’s no abolish ICE without abolish the police.

MPD did not stop collaborating with ICE after the emergency ended. They proceeded full steam ahead, working hand in hand to terrorize DC’s immigrant communities, with Bowser’s blessing. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/10/01/dc-police-immigration-trump-crime/

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

He's getting nervous about holiday spending

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Trump has decided that no jobs report will issue on Friday due to the government shutdown. But it turns out there is a different reason: that report will, when issued, be catastrophically bad.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

October 1st, 1890: The weather service is first identified as a civilian agency when Congress, at the request of President Benjamin Harrison, passes an act transferring the Signal Service’s meteorological responsibilities to the newly created U.S. Weather Bureau in the Department of Agriculture.

a bald eagle flying around dc on this day 1 of a government shutdown?

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

Help me send Rob Wittman home for good. Wittman betrayed his constituents and betrayed his oath to the Constitution... enabling this Trump horror show. Join the fight: seanforva.com

Vought's email to agency leaders also explicitly blamed Dems for the shutdown. The Hatch Act now only exists for federal employees you are trying to fire.

This is fucking Venezuelan. This is how Chavez completely wrecked private enterprise there.

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

So what he’s saying is that he’s completely incompetent and incapable of governing his own state so he wants Orange Daddy to send troops. bsky.app/profile/atru...

October is why. (Narrated by Anthony Rizzo)

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

There is nothing worse than watching an NFL game that ends in a tie. At least scoregami lessens that pain

well it wasn’t entirely pointless

lot to unpack here

This adminstration really is gonna test every blue city until they find one that will give them the riots they want, aren’t they?

trump's numbers on economic policy are worse than bush/obama's during the financial crisis

Please read. Vought is terrible.

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities. Comes same day Netanyahu used his UN speech to scold dozens of nations for accusing him of committing war crimes.

incredible

this most "this could have been an email" thing i've ever heard

these guys need therapy and a hobby

Two days ago he was claiming he was going to cut prescription drug prices by 1000%. This announcement is only going to increase costs for Americans. How is it possible they still don’t know how tariffs work?!?

Trump is bailing out Argentina’s economy to the tune of $20 billion while our farmers are enduring a crisis that he caused with his tariffs. On top of that, food, housing, health care and electricity costs continue skyrocketing. That’s not putting America first.

People seem determined to remember Charlie Kirk as a devout Christian. This includes mainstream and liberal descriptions of him and not just MAGA hagiography. But look, the things he said about people were in direct contravention of Christ’s teachings. It’s deeply perverted to suggest otherwise.
