So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

*and asked the DOJ to give him 230 million. Folks, it’s only Tuesday.

I can't even. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Trump: "They're gonna lose Medicaid, they're gonna lose Social Security, they're gonna lose Medicare -- all of those things are gonna be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt and you're not gonna have any kind of medical insurance. With us it's the opposite."

BREAKING: A federal appeals court held the Trump administration could take control over 200 members of the Oregon National Guard, despite the governor's objections. Peaceful protest, inflatable animal costumes, and bike rides are not a reason to send American troops into our communities.

I called and left a polite message requesting that they consider quitting this job. I might have said "Please stop destroying our nation's heritage" or something to that effect.

Beautiful shot of the demonstration on a beautiful day. Wonderful to see so many people out marching for our freedom.

This is what I grew up with and it’s why I marched today. No Kings!

Let’s get out there!

Wow! Did not expect such strong language from Jeffries. Keep it up -and endorse Mamdami.

“There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one’s head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people’s pain.” — James Baldwin

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice.“ @barackobama.bsky.social gives us the #CupOfJoe we need. Get involved. Stay involved. #BeTheChange #DemsUnited

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January. Today it has two. See how this works?

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

I love this! The closer it gets to Halloween the more amazing the dance party will become.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads, drilling and other disturbances. Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

That’s nice.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

That’s the way you do it, Senator. Keep showing the world what Portland is really like - a great city with great people.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Saturday blocked President Donald Trump’s call-up of the National Guard for a deployment in Portland, saying Trump’s actions were based on false claims and undermined Oregon’s sovereignty. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists." The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

“Pro-life” MAGA sure does love dictators who indiscriminately bomb innocent civilians daily, kidnap children, rig elections, plunder resources, jail journalists, torture and murder political opponents, and poison dissidents.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the SCOTUS 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. He's using SCOTUS as an extralegal battering ram against the federal courts. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

As my mother always told me, listen when people tell you who they are.

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"... -Ensure our food is safe to eat -Keep our air and water clean -Alert us to natural disasters -Protect us from financial fraud and scammers Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

Yes. Hence how hard it is for people to WANT to leave a cult.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Does someone want to tell the DUI hire that he can’t eliminate prosecution for war crimes?

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit
