Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Not only is he playing shell-games with other people money, he is making it taxable. As a general rule a housing allotment for a remote deployment IS NOT taxable income, a cash bonus on your pay IS taxable income. Not that he ever cares about screwing people, but this one really sucks.

📌Jack Smith testified today his team “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 election. -Why, dear God, WHY did his appointment come so late from AG Merrick Garland? -Why aren't Republicans allowing us to hear this testimony? This was an attack on America.

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power,...” Jack Smith

Big shocker, more disgusting behavior unbecoming a president.

Trump’s revolting screed about the Reiners wasn’t just tasteless—it was living proof that Rob Reiner had him pegged perfectly. Every word of contempt Reiner ever spat was vindicated in that one grotesque post.

I am totally serious about this: file articles of impeachment over this specifically

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me. He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force. He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy. Rob is an American treasure.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Truly good news.

Firing over 100 immigration judges. Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings. Pausing asylum decisions. And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen. Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

🏥🚨🏥 Healthcare workers: Patient’s rights are being violated. A lot of people are adverse to standing up to “authority,” but we have codes of ethics - each of our professions do. Rise up! 1/2

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

today, @sg-marshall.bsky.social & i present an overstuffed deadcast season finale, a triple episode, feat. new musical scales, saudi acidhead regicide, connections between the dead & the gay rights movement, crickets, the quieting of ned lagin's biomusic & more. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /1

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

I wish someone would tell him, "Hey, you work for me!" just to see his response. Not that it would make a difference. But still, I'd really love it if someone said that to him at least once a day. "Don't get an attitude with me, buster, you work for me!"😆

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Trump on MBS: "He's investing $1 trillion into the United States." THE ENTIRE SAUDI ARABIA GDP IS $1.1 TRILLION.

New information here on how Trump has turned the Department of Justice—which is supposed to work on your behalf—into his own personal law firm, punishing his enemies and rewarding his friends. "Worse than Watergate" doesn't begin to cover it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Oh, no.

Same. Lol.

WITH WHAT WATER? AND ON WHAT POWER GRID??

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

Under His (Peter Thiel’s) Eye

A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭 insideclimatenews.org/news/1111202...

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

I continue to think "we'll starve kids and cancel air travel before the holidays unless you let us hike health care premiums" is a really stupid shutdown message from the Republicans.

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

Ah, here we have a photo of Republican healthcare at work... Stand by and do nothing... Don't even pretend to care.

Big things are happening…

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

WHERE’S THE SNAP MONEY?

When my bf & I first brought our puppy Maggie home 12 yrs ago, we sat her in a chair & put on the Dead (as one does). "Hope u like the Grateful Dead, honey." Her first song was a fantastic Playin'. When Donna Jean belted out a real good, "Yeaaaah," Maggie did a classic doggie head tilt & wagged tail

Ooh, my heart, RIP Donna Jean. Thank you for the music. 💙

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office? Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva. Rules for thee but not for me.

We get November baseball, y'all!

Everybody's sure putting some negative vibes out there rn... Be cool! Go Dodgers! I believe in you!

Let’s go, and I cannot emphasize this enough, Dodgers.

Why is the Blue Jays organist playing the “Let’s go Dodgers” song?

I made Halloween/World Series snacks. Screaming ghost pretzels. Happy Halloween! Happy World Series Game 6! Let's go Dodgers!

Yeaaaah! Mookie! 💙💙

Yeeeaaaah! Thank you, Will Smith! Let's go Dodgers!

Come on you Dodgers!

Now is a GREAT time to learn about nuclear testing. As it happens, earlier this year I published a story from the very tunnels where America's most top-secret tests are done. First time journalists had been inside since the 1990s. www.npr.org/2025/01/29/n...

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

They dimmed those lights like
