For the record, it's insanely unethical and improper for the president of the United States to host private business meetings at the White House to further enrich his family business. But that's what is happening today with Trump and the Saudis. It's a slap in the face to American taxpayers.

Traitors, indeed.

Republicans can go a long way toward solving their Epstein problem if they impeach and convict Trump immediately. Throw him out with the trash. Anything less will leave a stain of pedophilia on the GOP for generations.

This may be unpopular to say, but very few people actually need to fly in airplanes. Most people do so because they want to and can afford it. It’s a costly service that most people can live without.

Dems are having a great election night. They need to put the pedal to the metal and barrel toward 2026. No mercy and no rest.

If you see a so-called poll monitor, let them know you see them and are not afraid. Cast your vote with courage and confidence. Let them know they will not win.

Don't forget that, in July 2025, the Republicans passed and signed into law a bill that adds $3 trillion to the national debt. So spare me the untrue talking point that the federal government can no longer fund food stamps and health care subsidies.

I’m doing what I can every day. Are you?

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

And Republican voters, too. They are ultimately to blame.

I'll wait to learn more facts, but something smells when the highly politicized FBI, led by an inept Trump worshipper, arrests people affiliated with the NBA -- one of the Republican Party's favorite punching bags -- during the first week of the new season.

When you step back and think, it really is astounding that an American president would share images of himself as a monarch assaulting Americans while they are exercising their constitutional rights to free speech. It's even more astounding that millions of Americans see this imagery and cheer.

Called it. This “peace” only lasted a couple days. 44 people killed today alone.

I hereby call on all federal employees to start (or escalate) sharing inside information about the Trump regime with the news reporter of your choice. The First Amendment still exists. And actual journalism still exists. Use them both to keep democracy alive.

So presidential. So Christian.

Please join with your fellow American patriots tomorrow, demonstrate your love of country and attend your local No Kings event.

Patriots should be glad to show their love of country while simultaneously protesting the active threat posed by the Trump regime. Wave that flag with pride, Americans.

Each of us swore an oath to the Constitution. We are all watching what President Trump is doing with the uniformed military. As people who have served, it’s important to speak out. So on 10/18, let's do what we do best. Wear the red, white & blue. Wave the flag. Peacefully.

If another country was doing this to American boaters, we’d have sent in the Marines by now.

This is why the sick new effort to put a Turning Point USA chapter in every high school must be stopped. The GOP is indoctrinating children to hate America.

American patriots who attend this weekend's No Kings rallies should proudly fly the flag and talk to the media about how much they LOVE the United States. Just ignore the baiting attempt from Republicans.

Invoking the Insurrection Act would be an admission that this new regime has absolutely failed at governing and uniting Americans. It would be a sign of weakness, not strength.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

So how do we get farmers to remember their patriotism and break their addiction of supporting Republicans?

And how about the $4 trillion in new national debt that they robbed from future generations? Republicans know nothing about money or governance.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Trump loses to a woman of color. Again.

This new regime isn't governing at all. They're simply jetting from one planned photo op to another. This isn't a government. It's a comms team with a cult following.

Longing for the days when the U.S. had a president who could formulate thoughts and write in complete sentences.

The Republican shutdown is harming the U.S. economy. The longer it lasts, the worse it will be for American families. On the other hand, the longer it lasts, the more people will become enraged and want to remove Republicans from office across the board at the earliest possible date.

Pretty sure there are stores in Portland.

This is fascism. By the way, it’s totally legal to burn the flag in protest. Supreme Court ruled on that in 1989.

Maybe farmers should stop voting for Republicans who are trying to ruin family farms across America.

Once again, there are no more rules in politics. Dems need to scorch the earth and save the country. Stop everything the Republicans are doing. Use any means necessary, norms be damned.

Governors, please follow this hardball approach.

While some analysts and media outlets dismissed yesterday's spectacle as partisan griping, I'm glad that @sykescharlie.bsky.social understands the gravity of the ominous directives that lurked in those speeches.

If Republicans want so badly for Democrats to vote for a federal budget, why didn't they put things in the proposal that Democrats actually like? This shutdown is a failure of the GOP to think creatively, compromise and assemble a balanced approach to funding that helps the most Americans.

The Trump regime is now attacking journalists in their line of duty. This is an assault of the First Amendment. To survive, America must maintain a vigorous and free press, which serves as the only independent check on government itself.

As of today, Republicans have achieved their goal of shutting down the federal government so they can starve it of resources and let the chips fall where they may. They have been planning this for a year and no "deal" was ever going to stop it.

Trump sees military generals as political props. Nothing more.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Why didn’t the Trump administration provide the care that the Grand Blanc shooter, a Marine vet, needed before he attacked a church? This is a failure of the VA and a result of the Republican funding cuts.

Kimmel, Obama, Comey. Are the tides turning in America? It feels like patriots are finally standing up to the authoritarian GOP.

Now every former service member running as a Democrat needs to consider how Republicans will use their military records to invent campaign smears against them. This is anti-veteran to the core.

There's absolutely no valid reason to be giving government welfare checks to American soybean farmers. If they want to sell more beans, they need to compete on the world stage, which now includes Trump's tariffs. Using taxpayer money to pad the accounts of out-of-work farmers is anti-capitalistic.

Go ahead, shut it down. Make Republicans own every second of it.

Once these files are released, how will we know they haven’t been doctored since they’ve been in Trump’s possession for so long?

Kimmel’s audience last night was 4X its usual size. Sinclair is making a huge business blunder by not airing the show. So much revenue left on the table.

Every violent act will now be branded by Republicans as a leftist attack on America. It never matters what actually happened. Facts, accuracy and impeding of investigations no longer matter to the "rule of law" party.
