Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

Yes, this. "To my mind, too few Democrats have framed their primary message — that this is a fight to actually return to existing funding levels before the Big Ugly Bill stripped healthcare from millions of Americans and from rural hospitals — to include the power of the purse."

Wes Moore: “A prerequisite to keeping the government open should not be cutting people off of healthcare. My message to President Trump is clear. Stop this shutdown. You’re the one causing it. We’re the ones dealing with it.”

Sad to hear this but what an amazing woman and what a life she had 🖖🏻

Hello October! Or should that be Moth-tober? 🎃🦋 With autumn well underway, keep an eye out for these butterflies and moths in your gardens and local green spaces.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

A North Carolina GOP operative who pushed to limit early voting and previously asked election board members to “make party line changes to early voting,” has been appointed to a position overseeing the state’s elections.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections, @jesspish.bsky.social writes.

Meiselas: Ask yourself: Why did Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House during his meeting w Dem leaders? Why, if he claims he brought in $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the shutdown? Why did MAGA Mike Johnson and Republicans cancel work Monday and Tuesday?

This is one of the most demented things Trump has posted

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

So Trump, Johnson, and JD are endlessly repeating the lie that Dems want to shut down the government to get healthcare for "illegals." So why are Dem leaders not on every TV and social media platform debunking this?

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are prepared to roll over to avoid a shutdown. That cannot happen, because it is exactly what Trump wants. Now is the time to fight. Call their offices and tell them. @schumer.senate.gov : (202) 224-6542 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : (202)-225-5936

To live like a hunted creature--one thing I think about a lot is that it's not just the people who are grabbed but everyone who could be and everyone who loves them who's terrorized by the thuggocracy.

Republicans alone will be responsible for those looming mass layoffs, so we’re paying them back. We’re pledging to spend 2026 making sure these 26 MAGA GOP representatives lose THEIR jobs next fall. See any names we missed? Let us know here: https://action.lincolnproject.us/26for26

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

About that looming government shutdown: Republicans control the House of Representatives. The control the Senate. They control the White House. The radical republican right is in complete control. Any shutdown is entirely their doing. To the news media: Kindly pay attention.

I understand bailing out farmers who suffered some sort of natural disaster or blight to their crops from a parasite, disease, etc. But that’s not what is happening. They can’t sell their abundant crops because of one man. Trump did it, he can pay the farmers out of his crypto.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

To be clear, I think we should *act* as if Trump and Miller will try to cancel the elections, while having quiet confidence that if we mobilize sufficiently and legally prepare for whatever they throw at us, we can overwhelm them.

Oh no !! So sad 😭

We don't need to tax them nearly that much. If the billionaires paid the same rate as teachers, nurses and janitors, and if huge corporations paid the same rate as small businesses, we'd be fine. That means getting rid of all the stupid loopholes that they use to avoid paying their share.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Jeffries: "We will not be intimidated by Vought, who's totally out of control. The OMB has been illegally shutting down parts of the govt throughout the entire year, & the notion Dems are gonna be intimidated when all he's done is send a message that Republicans are determined to hurt people ... "
