You were saying, Pete?

But we're told by Log Cabin Republicans that Trump is so pro-gay. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k...

I suspect he does imagine it --- and enjoys it. #reapthewhirlwind

BTW for maga, it was never about pedophiles. It was about hating fellow Americans and the pedophile charge was a convenient way to put a moral mask on that. The second Trump failed to release the files, because he’s in them, they defended him. Mask is off

Jim Jordan appears to be wholly without socially redeeming value. What an awful person, in every imaginable way.

🤷‍♀️

Have we not seen cankles in public since the shutdown started?

Gonna re-up this since today is the 7th anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by MBS who has his first annual comedy festival underway right now. Bet it kills.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Breaking News: A college student’s family sued Tesla, saying faulty door design led to her death in a burning Cybertruck.

“This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That’s how he had money.” Who was Epstein blackmailing? Well, look who shut down the government to hide the files. Maybe they know. https://bit.ly/475oQal

For anyone curious about why I might be suggesting there's some (perhaps genuinely unintentional) racism in these takes.

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...

Breaking News: The FDA approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, expanding the supply at a time when the Trump administration is under pressure from abortion opponents to sharply restrict access to the pills.

Bad Bunny means *so much* to so many in the Latino diaspora. I have seen this firsthand. Along with people scalping these expensive tickets, there will be parties outside the stadium cause of him.

its weird that the president brags about inflicting pain on american citizens and cities right?

Don’t start none, wont be none! NY AG Tish James is not having it!

This is the funniest thing AI has ever done.

“.. Some Republicans estimate they will eventually need to provide $35 billion to $50 billion in aid to farmers hit by Trump’s tariffs.” [.. That’s roughly half of all the revenue raised from new 2025 tariffs so far this year, notes @ernietedeschi.bsky.social] www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

At a more personal level, lemme say... "To the public servants who really work so hard and wake up with a sense of mission and purpose, I just want to say: I see you. And I'm grateful for you."

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.” “.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.” from 2024: @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/vide...

me when I am making things up

I just got a call from my Insurance Aetna Medicare Advantage today 10/02/2025 11:00AM and They are raising double & more of all my services, medication, deductible, premium, copay & procedures for 2026, the Media & Press TV News, GOP & Trump are lying about Trump's Shutdown!

Thune could pass the CR without Dems today. They suspended the filibuster to ram through a boatload of rightwing judges just a few weeks ago and they could do that again for this. He has the power to avoid all of this. Fact is the GOP and Trump want this shutdown. Russ Vought is giddy about it

Thune pretends he and his House colleagues are powerless. They could overturn Trump' tariffs in a minute with a piece of legislation, but they are COWARDS. Despite their words, they don't care a bit about the American people. They only Americans Republicans care about are their billionaire donors.

I wonder how the NFL feels about this

> @governor.ca.gov

My friend Mike, just ignore it.

There is no longer a fourth amendment in America. Act accordingly.

Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?

Imagine paying rent, buying groceries, and then get a bill with your insurance tripling. This could hit your inbox—and your future. HOW IT STARTED: $307 HOW IT’S GOING: $964

They lied to help Trump win. Never forget it, never forgive it

The USA is the only country in the world where people can be financially broken by medical bills, their wages garnished by shady debt collectors and forced into bankruptcy. And it could be because they had an unexpected injury or illness that landed them in an ER "outside of their network".

Neoliberalism yearns for fascism to snuff out socialism, labor activism, environmentalism, and yes, freedom flotillas bringing aid to Gaza. This is the world we live in and our coward leaders refuse to acknowledge how ugly the truth is because they're bribed to gaslight us and make us all fight.

Health insurance rates aren’t released in December, they’re released this month. We have to deal with this now or a lot more people are going to be priced out of health insurance.

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"

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Priorities.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

“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

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

As I stand amid a dizzying swirl of destructive distractions, I'm reminded again of this simple fact: Whatever is in the Epstein files must be incomprehensibly bad. All of this - **waves arms wildly in all directions** - it in service to keeping those files hidden.
