A 50-year mortgage, a lifetime in debt peonage. To the worker, the debt would surely be offered in return for future labor. Isn't all debt that way? You'll owe your entire life and then some. Maybe your debt will be passed down to offspring, creating a never-ending cycle of debt bondage? #SlaveryNow

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Let’s keep this simple so everyone will understand… This is what happens when folks vote for reproductive rights and also for Republicans on the same ballot. [Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO)]

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Ouch 🚽

Maybe we should call it No Czars.

Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever. But it's not too late to stop them.

Bill Nye criticizes Trump's science funding cuts at D.C. 'No Kings' rally

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Video from today's No Kings protest in Williamsburg, VA! #No_Kings #50501_Strong

Great turnout @ Williamsburg, VA No Kings protest! Everyone was just lovely. Great supportive vibes all around, including most motorists! #No_Kings #50501_Strong

They’ve turned everyone in Chicago into extras in Stephen Miller’s villainous, unconstitutional, authoritarian fantasy

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick. Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare. And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

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.

Trump and Republicans are desperately trying to make your healthcare twice as expensive.

This is merely a delay tactic meant to postpone the vote on the Epstein files release.

REPORTER: US law already prohibits giving healthcare to illegal immigrants LEAVITT: Are you denying that Medicaid money has never gone to illegal aliens?

At least some people are thriving in Donald Trump’s economy. How about you?

It's never OK for Dems to call political opponents authoritarians... but totally cool when these guys do it

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Which party incites violence again?

25th amendment unfortunately would require agreement by the cabinet heads. He's chosen the most corrupt cabinet in Presidential history. It means that regardless of how demented and insane Trump becomes, there are no adults in the room. #CadaverInChief

If this plan fails, Stephen Miller will slowly drive by in a windowless van with the words FREE CANDY spray painted on the side.

Did he share a “wonderful secret” with Donald Trump as well?

The Supreme Court Is Creating a King A recent ruling takes a hammer to our constitutional order and empowers Trump above all else—including Congress.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Absolutely bizarre. Trump takes credit for a judge blocking HIS OWN PLAN to cut $34 million in funding for counterterrorism in New York.

Marge says that Republicans can end the shutdown anytime they want without Democratic votes.

The White House has published a list of Democratic enemies.

New data shows the cost of Republican plan to jack up health care prices: – Premiums will more than double – A 60 year old couple would have to pay $22,600 more a year

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

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

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.

Is it our government’s position that if an American commits a drug crime with a cartel (or they allege that) it can just kill that person without trial even if not an immediate threat? I am genuinely trying to understand what if any lines they believe exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

Remember when we warned you about #Project2025 and #DonaldTrump said he knew NOTHING about it? Well, now he is finally admitting that the #HeritageFoundation is essentially running the Federal Government. Everything that is happening and that will happen is already laid out

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Jeffries: “Republicans have shown zero interest in even having a conversation after the White House meeting on Monday. We've seen behavior by the president that is unserious and unhinged. And Leader Schumer and myself haven't gotten a single phone call as it relates to a follow-up conversation.”

REPORTER: Should ERs check immigration status before treating a dying patient? LEAVITT: That's probably not a question for me to answer. That's a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts to answer. (That's not a no!)

History has many painful lessons.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... trump’s administration is facing another round of calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office in the wake of his remarks to an unprecedented assembly of the nation’s military leaders...

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Where’s the money?
