not much to argue about on this one, I guess

TOMORROW is #NO_KINGS_DAY!!! Give me your Tired, your Poor, your Huddled Masses of Frogs, Unicorns, Pandas, T-Rexes, Mushrooms, Sharks, SpongeBobs & everyday Folks yearning to peacefully protest a clownishly incompetent buffoon of a Prez who, if there were any justice, would be in jail. 🤡 #BeThere

www.cnbc.com/2025/10/17/v... U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will immediately pause over $11 billion in projects due to the government shutdown. The paused funds pertain to “lower-priority projects” in cities including New York, San Francisco, Boston and Baltimore, Vought said.

The excellent @hcrichardson.bsky.social points out that sending $40 billion to a foreign government (Argentina) without Congressional authorization is in fact wildly illegal. As is anything taxpayers didn't have a say in. #NoKings heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-16...

Trump hates this picture from Time Magazine. You know what to do!

The unsung heroes of America: lifelong agency workers at Social Security, Medicare, VA and so many other agencies who are staying there to ensure the American people are taken care of. They didn’t have to stay. They are being worked into the ground. Thank you with all of my heart.🙏

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

They are Russians and Nazi’s combined

🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

I want every blue state to do what Gavin Newsom is doing. Give the GOP no quarter. 

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

This about covers it.

Do not confirm Emil Bove.

The battle to be won is against ICE. The key to winning is the sheer number of citizens who are not only protesting, but confronting them. ICE is on shaky ground legally and they know it. In particular, ICE shies away from white protesters as they know they have rights of citizenship. Use it.

BEHOLD!

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

‼️‼️

WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOSE FAITH IN THE SUPREME COURT THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT RESPECTED. CORRUPTION TRICKLES DOWN. AMERICANS ARE NOW WONDERING WHY ANY US SHOULD FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW WHEN THE SUPREME COURT HAS MADE IT IRRELEVANT. CORRUPTION IS NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND THANKS TO CITIZENS UNITED.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans/

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

“A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government,” Bruce Springsteen said. “They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American.”

🚨

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The “accomplishments” so far

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Told you so.

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.
