Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

That’s right! Thanks, Fox News! www.foxnews.com/politics/squ...

Things to do in the future: 1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague 2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again 3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

OpenAI with another 10 GW deal ... To remind, 1 GW costs $60 billion to deploy. OpenAI has made deals for 26 GW over the past two weeks. So ... that's a $1.6 trillion commit for a company that had H1 revenue of $4.3 billion. This. Is. A. Bubble.

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

Fox Propaganda is desperately spinning the "No Kings" events in fearful anticipation of their success.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

We are getting poorer

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Solidarity is the only way

They're "moving forward" because they're all looking to get senior c-suite jobs and board appointments with Lockheed-martin and other major American weapons producers after they retire from the military Why else would we be buying a worthless airplane? #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

TEXAS senate candidate Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social (grandson of a Baptist preacher): “I put my hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the constitution, not the other way around.”

The CDC’s Poxvirus & Rabies Branch—key to monitoring the only disease ever eradicated, #smallpox was reportedly RIF’d in the recent “Friday Massacre.” Two labs in the world retain live variola virus (U.S. & Russia) and raises serious questions for global health security and oversight.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

This is never a good sign

We have some heavy days ahead. Fascism vs. the rule of law. Stay peaceful but loud. If you are in uniform, remember that “I was only following orders” will not be an acceptable excuse at the inevitable trials. We have been through this before….

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione claim he wasn't read his rights before he was questioned by law enforcement officers, and they failed to obtain a warrant before searching his backpack. Delay. Deny. Depose. #Resist

Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

"You took an oath to the constitution. You are breaking it. Do NOT be like every other military and police in a dictatorship - do NOT betray your country. Stand with the constitution @vetsaboutface.bsky.social “ We need military to against the coming “omniforce.” 📣 Chicago attorney Robert Held

Listen for the loud whistles. Carry them and use them. 3 short blows for sightings, 3 longs blows if you see someone being kidnapped. Fuck these fucks

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up. If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name. (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in. The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight. They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.
