Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

That's fine. I'm adding some #bees on my wild leeks from last July then for #ThrowbackInsectThursday, ha! ✌️🐝

Re-upping this sweet little ladybug for #ThrowbackThursday #InsectThursday in an effort to change things up a touch. (I usually share bees.) #photography

Aka "Waregon" as Colbert dubbed us, lol! The only battle going on here is for parking spaces, seriously.

Sorry. I wanted to show a picture of Steve with this one, but I can't find him?

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Swear her in.

⚡️French military intercepts Russian ship suspected of launching drones into European airspace, Guardian reports. The French military has boarded a so-called Russian "shadow fleet" vessel suspected of launching drones into European airspace, the Guardian reported Oct. 1.

BREAKING Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91. It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated. Full Story: bit.ly/4pPcNFH

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

1/3 The War of Propaganda is everywhere. Fox, OAN, TikTok, even pulpits — an ecosystem of lies meant to distract you from the truth: Republicans are ready to double your health premiums to protect billionaire tax cuts. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Sure, the federal government is shut down, but…at least we are planning to bail out Argentina. “America First,” my ass.

ICYMI: A Reagan-appointed judge ruled that Trump's abduction and attempted deportation of pro-Palestinian student activists is an unconstitutional attack on freedom of speech. We must continue to resist Trump's illegal attacks on our fundamental rights. www.commondreams.org/news/judge-s...

What she said...😉✌️💐

Republicans control the shutdown. Top to bottom. For example, construction of Trump's ballroom will continue as "essential" during the shutdown. But the stuff that helps you will not. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Oh no! RIP Jane! Mother Earth will mourn you deeply! 💔💔💔😭🙏😭💔💔💔

When reality hits.

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Priorities.

Happy? #RoseWednesday beeps. I'm grateful to live in "war torn" Portland, Oregon, the City of Roses. And still be housed. Here's some more bee chow for now. #Roses #Flowers #BloomScrolling #gardens #pdx

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Growing up in Arkansas I was told this was why we have the second amendment. Sadly I was told this by the kind of people who are supporting these actions.

Multiple states are jointly suing the Department of Health and Human Services and its Secretary, RFK Jr., over new rules restricting what can be taught in sexual education classes, after the administration threatened to cut funding to states that acknowledge trans people in their sex ed classes.

I'll add a pair of honeybees for #Twosday as I head out to Hillsboro. Later beeps. May your day be peaceful. #bees #Flowers #photography #photos

Defence Secretary: "We don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our war fighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill" President: "We should use some [American] cities as training grounds for our military"

Dear Generals, When you are fired, that’s your signal to LEAD THE OPPOSITION. You’re way more intelligent than their loyalists. You can do it! Love, USA normies

Good #TuesdayBlue to you. I'm bracing for troops to descend on my fine city (Stump town) any day now, as we're so riotous. (Not.) Here's some more bee chow for now. Including some hard earned bee booty in the salvia. #Flowers #BloomScrolling #bees

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

President Donald Trump was heading to meet all of the top military leadership in the U.S.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Brian Allen “Show us your warrant.” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🚨 That’s illegal. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter your home, not just a badge and bad attitude. Don’t open the door.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

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.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate 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 that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
