Spot on.

As Theresa says, it is YOUR money, not Donald Trump’s money, that the administration is bartering with in this shutdown.   More from my conversation with Theresa and other New Jerseyans coming soon.

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Yesterday, I asked Americans from across the country how a DOUBLING of monthly health care premiums would affect their families. Responses have already come in, but we need more. If you want to share your story, send an email or video to [email protected]

@sanders.senate.gov on Trump lying that the shutdown is over funding healthcare for illegal immigrants: "This is what demagogues historically have done: pick on a helpless minority. Trans people, undocumented people... You blame them for all of the problems facing society. And the rich get richer."

DHS has blatantly lied about the victim of a recent shooting committed by an ICE. trib.al/u2Vz59B Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, 38, was fatally shot in Franklin Park during an attempted immigration detention. Nearby surveillance footage revealed the agent fired two shots, and he died at a hospital.

Doesn't take anything away from Graham Platner and his team's achievement to note that these gargantuan crowds (this one yesterday in Brunswick) are also surely a function of how keenly focused lots of Mainers are on booting Susan Collins. That's a marked difference from last cycle. #MEpolitics

"An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a 'perp walk' of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month..."

20 year DOJ vet lead counsel on critical terrorism case, fired b/c he once worked in career role for Lisa Monaco.They are simply strangling the DOJ. 1/3 of leadership has left. And the cost here has to be reckoned in public safety. Everything gets sacrificed to absurd views of loyalty and revenge.

Wow. It should get more attention that on most social media sites aside from X, the Trump White House is getting absolutely ripped to shreds over the shutdown. These Instagram comments are absolutely brutal for them.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

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...

I am just so fucking proud of her.

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/

BREAKING: A federal appeals court just blocked Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship No president can change the Constitution with the stroke of a pen. Here’s the ruling 👇 -TN democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.03.25...

Today, I’m signing legislation and announcing new funding to drive California’s fusion and quantum sectors — keeping us at the forefront of global innovation. We’re leading the way in emerging technologies and building a workforce ready to deliver the next big breakthroughs.

"I don't use the word lie lightly. To me it's got to be something that's fundamentally wrong that you can check against actual facts, and the people making the claim either know better or should know better. And I think all of those apply here." @citizencohn.bsky.social:

Details like this will be useful when he is prosecuted in The Hague.

The Senate just voted on the Democratic proposal to fund the government. This bill would keep the lights on and protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Not a single Republican voted for it.

Trump is wrecking the economy with his reckless trade wars and more and more Americans are feeling it.

I hosted a podcast using a pseudonym for a couple years to avoid violating the Hatch Act. I got fired anyhow.

Now that this is settled, just release the Epstein files.

Senate Republicans and top GOP donors still plan to attend a major fundraiser at a coastal resort in Georgia this weekend despite the government shutdown, a move that puts an awkward spotlight on the underbelly of political campaigns as federal workers are being furloughed across the country.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

I'm asking YOU: What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family? What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care? Please comment below or submit a story here: tinyurl.com/3rbdfdmz

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I was in the Air Force back in the 1960's. We could sit around in the NCO club, drinking beer and making fun of Tricky Dickey without fear of being court-martialed.

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.” More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.
