A federal judge on Wednesday demanded that the Trump Justice Department explain why senior officials, including President Trump himself, made comments that called Luigi Mangione guilty of killing a health insurance executive in Manhattan, despite her order to keep quiet.

David Sacks and Steve Witkoff pushed a deal to sell off our sensitive national security technology to the United Arab Emirates—while they may have stood to profit from it. We need an investigation now into the Trump Administration’s crypto corruption.

“Two big firsts today. No other American president has ever named a political opponent to be prosecuted—much less had an AG follow through with an indictment. No FBI Director has ever released evidence from a live crime scene. The Epstein files must be SO BAD.” - Jim Stewartson.

I'm so angry about the weaponization of government and corporate America capitulation, I just swore on MSNBC. Sorry, but it is how I feel.

Medicare for All is the answer.

VACCINES WORK & SAVE LIVES! Standing with top RI pediatricians to counter Trump Admin’s unfounded medical conspiracy theories putting kids & communities at risk.

Obamacare subsidies have found unexpected GOP backing in Florida. Reps. Carlos Gimenez & Maria Elvira Salazar are pushing to extend boosted credits, a key Democratic demand in the shutdown fight. punchbowl.news/article/vaul...

we just bought a DVD/blu ray player and we’re going to start watching our giant collection of DVDs again and start cutting out subscriptions. Disney/Hulu was first to go. it’s time to stop being bled dry in fees for subscription services, paying more to own nothing. enough. i’m over it.

TikTok’s US operations are changing hands and will be retraining the algo on US-only data. No word yet on whether a new app is needed. Meanwhile, @skylight.social — the TikTok of the atmosphere — is seeing massive growth this week. 🔗 skylight.social

The government’s “sell or be banned” edict on TikTok was always a threat to our free speech, full stop. Vague, unsupported claims of propaganda shouldn’t be a basis for cutting Americans off from global speakers and audiences.

Ted Cruz calls for the rhetoric to be toned down. The easy first step is to require social media sites to openly publish their algorithms, which apparently are amplifying hate and rage. And then overturn Section 230 so the sites again - like newspapers, radio, and TV stations - bear responsibility.

The shooting at an ICE facility in Texas was a horrific act of violence. Violence is never the answer—never.

There are 6 days until the government funding deadline and a potential shutdown. Trump and Republicans refuse to negotiate to restore cuts to Americans’ health care from their Big Bad Betrayal.

I don’t always agree with Chair Powell – but he is right. Prices are up 2.9% from last month. And they’re higher than they were a year ago. Why? Donald Trump’s chaotic tariff policies.

Small businesses deserve a fair shot at earning government contracts, not Trump’s rigged system of backdoor deals and bribery.

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.

Kimmel’s back—proof that public pressure can make a difference. But folks in our region won’t be able to watch tonight because KOMO’s owner, Sinclair, refuses to air the show on its ABC stations. It’s corporate cowardice to censor programming just because the president doesn’t like it.

Anti-vax groups are angry at their primary misinformation vector, RFK Jr., for blaming Tylenol for autism instead of vaccines (both claims are incorrect).

JEFFRIES: “Republicans have clearly demonstrated they want to shut the government down… they have refused to have a single conversation with Democrats… Trump agreed to a meeting, then woke up the next morning and went on an unhinged rant and canceled it…”

NEWS: Jim Comey reportedly to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia, where Trump just fired a prosecutor for who opposed the case. Blatant and brazen weaponization of the government against Trump's political opponents.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

After months of needless delay, the USDA has finally released $50 million for the farmer-led SARE program, which provides critical funding for research, education, and innovation. I’m so relieved that our pressure worked—and that these resources will now reach the farmers who need them most.

Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters announced a plan to establish chapters of Turning Point USA at all state high schools: “Radical leftist teachers’ unions have dominated classrooms for far too long, and we are taking them back”

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Americans are facing a cliff: Health insurance premiums could increase by 75%, and even double in rural areas. President Trump showed he would rather shut down the government than work with us to address the health care crisis Republicans have caused.

Here in Illinois, we are proud to continue expanding access to health care in our state. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans in Washington are cutting funding for services — and now even threatening to shut down the federal government over it.

While Susan Collins refuses to hold town halls and hear from the people of Maine, I am embarking on a statewide town hall tour. 850 showed up for the first one in small town Maine.

In the US, so many people are scared to speak out against Trump, they just throw money at him to keep him from cooking up fake lawsuits and throwing tantrums. Meanwhile, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, flat-out called Trump “racist, sexist, misogynistic, and Islamophobic.”

Trump’s Tylenol diatribe was rooted in frustration. The president wants to stem rising autism rates even if it means pregnant patients don’t treat their pain and delay their kids’ vaccinations.

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

The great sleeping giant of America always remains asleep until some venality becomes so noxious, some action so disrespectful of the common good, some brutality so noisy, that he has no choice but to awaken. I believe that sleeping giant is awake – and turning the tide on Trump.

Pete Hegseth, the same guy who texted classified war plans to a reporter, wants to decide what the media can report at the Pentagon. The First Amendment is clear: the government cannot stop a free press. This order is unconstitutional and un-American.

Trump is scrambling to consolidate power before his own unpopularity takes him down. Our job is to build a big, bold, joyful opposition strong enough to stop him. Join us on Oct.18 for No Kings 2: www.nokings.org/?SQF...

This moment is bigger than just Jimmy Kimmel. When the Trump administration attacks the freedom of the press, they're going after a central pillar of democracy and our right to hold the government accountable.
