One of my neighbors keeps stealing this banner. This is my third one. This time I ordered a camera too.😂

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

The President just received the Covid-19 Vaccine shot. Radio silence from RFK Jr.

It’s pronounced cyclist.

The cruelty is the point

China is getting the headlines it wanted — ahead of Monday’s market open. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/world/china/...

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier-- BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started BASH: So this is retribution then

So, I did some fun stuff in Toronto. Tell you more in about a year.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters. And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Nice recap

Swear-in Rep. Adelita Grijalva! Release the Epstein files!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This Is Fascism

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

The federal government began sending layoff notices Friday to about 4,200 employees across multiple agencies.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Covid Shots Are About to Be Widely Available Again. The CDC no longer broadly recommends the Covid-19 vaccine, but US residents will still be able to get one if they want. #COVID19 www.wired.com/story/covid-...

Praying for this amazing man.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Sidebar: It’s wild that the guy making the arrest has an accent, and the guy being arrested doesn’t.

Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Anti-vax onstage, Pfizer backstage.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Give up satirists. Move to Saudi or something. You're not needed any more.

KILMEADE: Would you do a standalone military vote to get them paid during the shutdown? MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the thing is, Brian, remember this -- three weeks ago today, we voted to pay the troops (That's a no)

It’s now FINALLY time to announce a new thing I’ve been working on. Welcome to the soft open for Wear Them Out Products, at www.wearthemoutproducts.com! It’s a whole bunch of cool stuff! Take a look and show people that you rock!

Trump’s rhetoric has crossed a line — from “Deep State” conspiracy to open fascist playbook. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The house just extended their vacation!

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

WTF! Qatar pilots will be flying over US air base!! l They purchased DJT with the airplane gift. Now Qatar will build an air force facility at a US base in IDAHO! This places the US in harms way. Are you paying attention military? Who authorizes this?

Each week, The Contrarian selects undaunted individuals working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: Jane Goodall “Goodall’s impactful life should inspire and energize us in the fight for democracy—but as do so many others who are finding their role”

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

I’ve never seen anything remotely this petty charged as bank fraud.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.
