It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

The point of funding deals is to secure money that helps people. If the administration plans to just illegally ignore any deal you make with them, what’s the point of making a deal? Don’t take it from me, take it from,,,,, Steve Womack, a senior GOP appropriator.

this is my shocked face 😑

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos. This overshadowed another big announcement... On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation. Hello?

Bonkers. Just truly no words for how dangerous this is.

I'm sorry, I blinked and I missed it.

People are going to die because of this.

Uhh so most of Bluesky is definitely going to get terrorism charges, I guess?

It's not fascist to call fascists fascist. It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil. No executive order can change these facts. However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

ACCOUNTABILITY 🤌🏼

Must-read; important to interpret recent events in terms of how Trump could turn the US into a competitive authoritarian state where the government abuses its powers to undermine the opposition even as elections continue to be held

The President can’t tell the difference between a DM and a public post. He thinks it’s ok to scold employees via Truth Social which is not a secure platform. He evidently can’t spell lawyers and he’s deluded himself into believing he’s the victim. Yet half the country normalizes this!

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have sent a letter to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss a path forward to keep the government open past the September 30th funding deadline.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Actually, when only 97% of the stories about a person who is 100% bad are bad, it means someone is the media isn’t doing their job.

The real cancel culture is liberals cancelling their Disney+ subscriptions, not Trump firing Jimmy Kimmel.

It didn’t/doesn’t have to be this way.

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless! They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

As I have said repeatedly: Donald Trump is dead set on turning the United States into a Russia style mafia state. Surrounding himself with deeply corrupt officials furthers that goal.

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois. Never mind the videos…

Remember when Pam Bondi said this

It’s a new kind of Saturday Night Massacre as Trump removes an experienced prosecutor he himself put in place in hopes he can find one who will prosecute a case based on politics, not the evidence. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The anti-constitution so-called President of the United States is a convicted criminal. #1stAmendment

Trump can’t take a joke because he IS the joke.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Journalist Chris Hedges says the right-wing campaign to silence criticism and dissent following the assassination of Charlie Kirk will accelerate the "consolidation of this police state" the Trump administration is building. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/15/chris_hedges_charlie_kirk

Journalist Chris Hedges says President Trump’s use of the shocking assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to attack civil society is the latest iteration of a broader crackdown on free speech.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

And so America became a land of humorless echoes, a Twilight Zone where the sound of one hand clapping was the only approved response. The leader stood at the podium, basking in the silence he had always craved. The joke, it appears, was on us all..so send in the clowns- don't bother they're here

State TV to replace Kimmel.
