Ok we are IN and hearing has begun!

I'm sorry, but what's wrong with giving health care to immigrants? Republicans don't even want to give health care to citizens, but I don't understand the argument against keeping people who contribute billions of dollars to the economy healthy. It's also less expensive in the long run.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Yes, the Project 2025 agenda that was wildly unpopular in every opinion poll during the campaign is 100% the policy blueprint of the Trump admin, which was obvious then to people who paid attention and obvious now to everyone else.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

I've been waiting for a good voice to pick up the Argentina/Soybean scandal. Dan Osborn now has. www.centralnebraskatoday.com/2025/10/02/d...

The more you learn about how things work in the world the more you feel like you must be missing something because it can't possibly be that stupid. Oh so all we need to avoid an economic crash is for the stock market to go up forever? And a third of the market is magic beans? I see,

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

"But, bitch, I do!!" should be an acceptable and reasonable response to every "I don't know, but..." after you've shared some factual information that you do in fact know.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic

I don’t want to alarm anyone but a million naval nerds were just awoken from their slumber and they’re gonna want to talk to the rest of us about aircraft carriers and missile ships. Just remain calm.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Trump’s demand that Microsoft fire former Deputy AG Lisa Monaco vaguely accuses her of “many wrongful acts.” This kind of baseless vengeance not only punishes perceived enemies, but also silences would-be critics. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

You are a blight on the legal profession, Clarence. Precedents obviously can be overturned, or Plessy v Ferguson would still be followed. But you know, or should know, that stare decisis enables a degree of stability in the law, vs changes w/ each administration. www.rawstory.com/clarence-tho...

Speaker Mike Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep. Grijalva in Arizona to prevent the release of the Epstein files. This is LAWLESSNESS. Even if the Dems do win back the House do you all really think this lot will honor such a free and fair election?

RFK Jr. and Friends keep repeating that “we need to listen to the mothers” on the topic of vaccines and autism. But they don’t want to listen to mothers who advocate for gun control or want vaccines to remain accessible to all.

Left: we want the Epstein files Right: we also want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is the Amelia Earhart files

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

165M voters asked for this

Grocery prices are rising at the fastest rate in years, btw.

Fight like hell to maintain fevers and pain while pregnant? WHERE IS YOUR BULLSHIT “GOLD STANDARD” RESEARCH, RFK? Tylenol will sue, and they will win so hard we’re about to be renamed the United States of Tylenol.

So if Tylenol creates autism we’re cool then with vaccines right? RIGHT???? RFK jr is insane, so it POTUS

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

Get in losers, we’re grieving

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

If two Canadians fight online, there’s a 70% chance it ends with them making weekend camping plans.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

This is all Stephen Miller and his white nationalist project. Congrats, MAGA and tech bros. You just played yourselves. The best and brightest around the world are going to China and Europe now. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation. This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region. The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)

It appears to me that Dr. Kuperwasser and Dr. El-Deiry are about to disgrace themselves in front of the entire world by implying, with no credible evidence, that the COVID19 vaccine causes cancer. The U.S. has at least 8 vaccine safety surveillance systems. None has ever found a risk for cancer.

Ossoff: "There are families in NE Georgia now who will not have local access to child birth services ... I mean, we are the wealthiest country in the world. We should be building new hospitals. We should be building new clinics."

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Oh my. Hypocrisy is certainly an essential part of the GOP brand.
