Reporter: Trump on the campaign promised, out of the blue and with no actual policy behind it, to cut all energy prices in half. In fact, electricity prices will increase 4%, the most in several years

Q: Has Speaker Johnson reached out to you since the January 6er made a threat on your life? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: No

Halloween store owner speaks out about the impact of Trump's tariffs on his business: "This year has been particularly challenging. Most of the costumes and accessories all come from China... Some of the more exclusive or high-end costumes might be as much as $20-30 more."

Sen. Merkley: The people are simply pawns for the authoritarian president. And then it becomes just fine to do a bill that savages health care and child nutrition to fund tax breaks for billionaires. These are not bills by and for the people, they are bills by and for the powerful

Archdiocese of Chicago condemns Trump's immigration crackdown: "Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear—the church stands with migrants."

Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in? JEFFRIES: We have no idea what you're talking about or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points

I feel like people missed this. On the $230 million shakedown, when Trump said, "I'm the one that makes the decision," he accidentally confirmed that he is appropriating for himself the power to order Todd Blanche to approve it: newrepublic.com/article/2021...

The following outlets are no longer credentialed at the Pentagon: NYT, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, Reuters, Fox The following outlets are now credentialed instead: -LindellTV -Tim Pool -Jack Posobiec -TPUSA -Gateway Pundit -The National Pulse -The Post Milennial

Host: Trump's new election integrity team at DHS includes Heather Honey and Marcy McCarthy, 2 election deniers. Honey hosted a call with election officials and spent much of her time repeating claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that election machines couldn't trusted.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

When I was treating patients in primary care in 2020 and 2021, I would remind them that SARS was 2003, and new studies on its effects were being published 17 years on. Fact is, we really do not know the long-term (in decades) effects of COVID infection. Though I'm confident it's bad news.

"Kristi Noem was already a controversial figure. Then her agency spent $174 million to buy two private jets for her, at taxpayer expense..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 If specifically asked, people say they like to keep their current healthcare. Yet they still do not see the current regime's plans to take it away. It’s Democratic lawmakers and governors who are fighting to keep it. Please support them.

Texas woman: If ACA subsidies go away, we would have to completely cut the insurance. I see my husband in pain every day. He needs to see the doctor, he needs surgery, and we can't afford it. You are stuck between, do I pay my electricity bill, or do I go and see the doctor?

🤦🏻‍♀️ So they want hundreds of millions of dollars tax breaks for data centers that destroy our environment, consume massive amounts of energy and water, and cause so much community division while raising residential electric raises so, in return, they can run something that spectacularly fails? Right.

The only person to display balls recently was Admiral Alvin Holsey🫡

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.” Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols. @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Officer Lauren Craven served her community with pride and dedication. Jennifer and I are heartbroken by her loss. We join her family, friends, and fellow officers in mourning. Flags at the State Capitol will be flown at half-staff.

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Reporter: Lindsay Halligan reached out to me in a text message, unsolicited, to object to a tweet in which I summarized someone else's reporting. I had never seen an interaction between a US Attorney and a journalist like this. It really underscores the lack of experience here

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

"They were just girls and they were begging the world to believe them and fight for them." Amanda Roberts, sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, says the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case shows "there is one set of laws for the rich and powerful’

Leader Jeffries: This is day 21 of the Trump/Republican shutdown. House Republicans remain on vacation. Trump continues to engage in unreasonable, un-American, and unpresidential behavior. And Senate Republicans still don't have a clue how to address the health care crisis they've created.

Schumer on if Platner's unearthed comments are disqualifying: "I'll let the people of Maine decide. We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins. She's a tested two-term governor and the people of Maine have an enormous amount of affection and respect for her."

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Host: Trump is demanding $230 million from the taxpayers as compensation for investigations into him by the DOJ. The mountain of ethical red flags surrounding Trump demanding $230 million from the government he leads with his own AG set to sign off on any settlement is obvious.

Trump: "Drug prices are going to be coming down 500 percent."

so that was money well spent then, hey? america firrrrst! "The Argentine peso has fallen below the level it reached before the US Treasury began purchases this month, in a sign that the Trump administration’s financial support is failing to halt the currency’s slide..." www.ft.com/content/815e...

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Precisely! The Real Reason For The Shutdown!

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

People say I should stay away from politics because I am autistic but at the end of the day if you’re passionate about something then you shouldn’t be silenced. People like myself should be able to voice their opinion.

The man who wanted to kill Hakeem Jeffries used the same language as Mike Johnson.

GO SNOOPY

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

I think of her words far too often:

Host: The White House, one of those places where you say, 'the stories these walls could tell if they could talk.' Well, some of those walls are now coming down. The facade of the East Wing is now being demolished as part of Trump's latest renovation plan to construct a $200 million ballroom.

My statement on the most recent credible death threat against me.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
