RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

The one thing this post season has proved beyond any doubt to me is that the Tigers didn’t do near enough to address its issues at the trade deadline.

There is nothing about Finnegan’s pitching the past month that would make any reasonable person think he was the right guy after Skubal.

This.

Someone gonna get fired …. @kenwhite.bsky.social @annabower.bsky.social

Errrrr.... firing someone because they're gay is actually textbook discrimination. #VAGOV

If you want a taste of actual Dem messaging, rather than relying on rage farming accounts who do nothing but drown out that messaging, follow this channel. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Federal employees aren’t political pawns.

So Trump is allowing the primary sponsor of Hamas to have its own air base in the United States? Am I getting that right?

Trump’s government shutdown has hit the double digits. 10 days in, and Republicans still refuse to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Anyone who complained about Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter needs to apologize right now.

As I was saying…

After voting to kick 15 million Americans off of their health insurance in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, Republicans have now shut down the government because they refuse to extend lifesaving ACA tax credits that millions rely on.   Trump must stop putting billionaires over babies and extend the tax cuts.

"I am here to fight because we don't have to choose between your jobs and your health care. The American people deserve both."    Joined the Big Tigger Morning Show to talk how we get out of the #RepublicanShutdown and how I'm fighting for the #FightingFifth.

To stand in solidarity with our government workers, I requested my Congressional salary be withheld for the duration of this shutdown. I plan on donating my pay to nonprofits within the 6th District that are addressing food insecurity for families impacted by cuts to SNAP and other federal programs.

Only one political party is actually expressing any empathy and concern on the way this shutdown is immediately impacting tens of millions of patients nationwide. The tragic irony is most of these patients live in states that support the current party in power. That party remains silent.

Republicans in Congress are ripping health coverage away from millions of Americans and driving up costs for everyone. We can’t sit back while families lose the care they rely on – we have to fight back now, before it’s too late.

We're over a week into an entirely avoidable Republican shutdown. But they refuse to negotiate because they don't care about the consequences. My neighbors can't wait — premiums are rising right now. Pennsylvanians can't afford even higher health care prices.

Why would we willingly sign on to a deal that harms Americans? What assurances do we have that the executive branch will hold up its end of the bargain? Everyone – Republicans and Democrats – should be outraged at this administration's overreach.

“You’re going to be priced out of health insurance but EVERYONE GO BUY MY WATCH”

Shutdown Day 9: Every additional day of this shutdown deepens uncertainty for federal workers, contractors, and the entire economy. It must end.   My office is still open and working on behalf of DC residents.

Our farmers want trade, not aid. This is a band-aid solution to a problem Trump caused single handedly. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

To be clear, 20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke this information is the acknowledgement that Stephen Miller is driving the invocation of the Insurrection Act.

I strongly support this letter and join my colleagues in demanding transparency from the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration’s unauthorized lethal strikes in the Caribbean Sea are unconstitutional and illegal.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

What the flying eff is this nonsense, WaPo?

People declaring diplomacy in Gaza have very short memories.

Children around the world have died because Trump and Musk needlessly destroyed USAID. These are some of their stories. apnews.com/article/myan...

If you're a reporter in DC lobbing questions about who's gonna perform at the Super Bowl to the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, you're just a shit stirrer and a hack. Plenty of things in Mike Johnson's wheelhouse you should be asking him about. Bad Bunny ain't one of them.

This is bizarro world cope from a bullshit artist. The record of Hillary Clinton’s warnings were early and often.

What total nonsense. HRC explicitly described during the debates, on the stump, and at the convention what Trump’s agenda really was.

Note that DHS was already tracking Martinez in advance of the shooting for IDing a guy who was involved in a really violent assault within blocks of the shooting (I think also on Saturday). www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/07/t...

It's not looking good for DHS's account of yet another shooting theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

After 30 years of publication, the U.S. Department of Agriculture abruptly canceled its annual report on the prevalence of hunger in America. The USDA’s press release condemned the report as “politicized,” “subjective, liberal fodder” that did “nothing more than fear monger.”

If a candidate tells you what would happen if the other nominee is elected - and it happens just like she said - by definition you cannot say she ran a bad campaign. She ran on the truth. And folks should ask themselves why the truth was not enough for them. - From the years 2016 and 2024

cosigned, Hegseth is an embarrassment

I am a veteran and can confirm this is garbage.

I am so disgusted. "... as it showed a Border Patrol agent saying to Martinez, “Do something, b----h” before pulling over and shooting her at least five times." www.rawstory.com/body-cam-foo...

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

The people who complain about Dem messaging the most are the people who have done nothing but drown out Dem messaging. Prove me wrong.

That was not a fumble.

Omg Romo let it go.

I have a hard time believing that the Venezuelan drug cartel business model is pinned to random boats with four people. Is our media ever going to stop and think about what’s really going on here?

A sixty-year-old couple in Mankato making $89,000 combined will pay an EXTRA $1500 every single month just to get health insurance if we don’t get a shutdown deal. That’s why we’re fighting so hard.

If we are talking about what’s legal, none pf this is lawful. A shutdown doesn’t confer any power to undo existing appropriations. I am watching Vaughan Hilliard totally botching this story right now.

exactly

I think people who object to congressional Dems centering health insurance are missing the point. The slide to fascism relies on dominance displays and momentum. Forcing Trump/GOP to meet the battle on *this* issue pins them down on an issue that they will lose. It’s an armor piercing bullet.

Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trump’s blank checks. Let your legislators hear from you.

There's a childlike belief on the far left that their ubber far left candidates will be, must be, how can they not be, elected everywhere in the US. Never taking into account, that the rest of the country may not think like them or have different needs than them. The self absorption is stunning.
