Jeffries: "If Republicans continue to refuse to extend the ACA tax credits, tens of millions of people are about to experience dramatically increased premiums ... including in the state represented by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, in his own district, I believe premiums may increase by about 380%."

Trump govt did not reverse these firings out of goodness or self-owning a "mistake." They would have been happy to get away with it. This reversal is the result of strong opposition. We undercut our own power when we give them the credit. Resistance matters. And remaining cuts are still devastating.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Q: Who is Mike Johnson being threatened by? I mean, if he's not bringing the House back, releasing the Epstein files ... he seems scared MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think so ... Do I think he's really up to the task? No.

The Trump-China trade relationship reminds me of my middle school love life: On one week, off the week, high drama, passing notes, heartache, renewal, gossip, and we did it all again the next week. The reality, of course, is that despite the drama, no-one was making long-term commitments.

Not sure why it has taken until late 2025 to see this, but this is how you do it. Every time. For every one of these guests.

The Trump administration has promoted the anti-vax, anti-science movement which has now produced an epidemic www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition… We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

The cruelty is the point

Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program. ➡️ Read more: https://propub.li/4odsKnn

Portland is everything.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...?

This is it. I didn’t find it at all difficult to leave Twitter in the end: it stopped being fun and became boring and depressing. Whenever I opened it I’d see things that were obnoxious or upsetting. It was a relief not to do that.

I would like to say something

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

Melania Trump is now selling this new Christmas ornament for $75.

My dear grandmother was a geologist, and it would have given her great joy to hear her grandson digging into rare earth minerals, finding out what they do, and why they matter. But for everyone else, it's a drag — the trade war equivalent of learning about the latest covid variant.

Rep. Jason Crow is a former Army Ranger who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the 82nd Airborne Division and the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.

Trump received his COVID inoculation yesterday at Walter Reed Hospital. However, he vehemently urges his followers not to get the jab. Can someone please explain the rationale behind this?

U.S. Army veteran George Retes, a U.S. citizen, was detained by ICE for over three days without access to a lawyer or phone. He says agents used excessive force and held him in isolation. Retes is now suing administration alleging unlawful detention and civil rights violations ij.org/press-releas...

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

T-minus 24 days and we’re kicking off the weekend in Passaic with so many of our friends in labor! I’m beyond grateful to have the support of so many of New Jersey’s union workers, and I’m going to fight like hell to make sure their voices are heard loud and clear in Trenton.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump's tariffs: "It's bumpy. I'm talking to major manufacturing companies that are saying...'We're having problems with these tariffs.  And now we're having problems, we can't get supplies'...There's problems."

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed.

"If the American people accept what is happening right now, then I guess the American experiment is over. And that's really the most terrifying thing. Not what Donald Trump is doing, but what Americans might allow Donald Trump to do" Charlie Sykes (@sykescharlie.bsky.social)

My full conversation with AG Weiser about Colorado’s conversion therapy ban before SCOTUS, Trump’s use of the military in American cities, and Weiser’s dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration. youtu.be/BWVkZ58g8Xc?...

The Trump administration claims troops are necessary to protect ICE if local enforcement won’t. AG Weiser said local law enforcement in Colorado can help protect ICE agents without violating the state law that limits cooperation on immigration enforcement.
