This is chilling: “The goal is to unravel enough of the federal government now. That it will make it impossible for Democrats to rebuild it even when they do get back to the White House.” 2/4

THE PURGE Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months. Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025. 🧵

Americans already see what’s up. They know Democrats are on the right side of this shutdown because we know it’s really a healthcare fight. Our dear friend Susan would like a word with Russell Vought. 🔥

And this

This.

Big Ugly Bill — DAMAGE CONTROL New Mexico is showing the rest of the nation how it’s done: Special session starts Oct 1 to protect Medicaid, lower premiums, and keep hospitals open. While D.C. Republicans are playing games, New Mexico is fighting to save health care for every family. 1/3

All eyes should be on New Mexico healthcare. 👀 They are fighting hard to protect their healthcare.

Rest in peace Jane. ❤️💔

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

If I fits, I sits. Silly Klaus. 😂🥹

This was my highlight this week after @jimmykimmel.com’s return. A ‘love letter to nurses’. This video makes me feel seen.

Every single word of this. #Resist

🧵Watch out for Nick Fuentes and the "Groyper" army. He has his own under the radar vision of white-only America and hated Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA. Kirk's death has boosted Fuentes and his in the shadows followers. www.wired.com/story/nick-f...

Our work is not done… 📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide. Folks, you know what to do. Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

My son has autism. I did not take Tylenol while pregnant. Now what? Trust his geneticists & the plethora of studies detailing his chromosomal deletion which most of his disabilities fall under? Or trust the guys that bathe in raw sewage and are intent on ruining democracy? What to do, what to do.

Silly me, I was told GENETICS were the cause of her autism diagnosis.It was because I took Tylenol?!This is admin is so dangerous. Jess has Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, a genetic disorder.SO tired of going BACKWARDS with the stigma surrounding autistic individuals.There is NOTHING wrong with them.

I am autistic. My mom didn’t take Tylenol. Or anything man made.

Déjà vu for me . 🙄 Remember when Trump raised the idea of injecting bleach into the body to treat COVID-19 . 💉 The second idea of using light ,like people could shove a light bulb up their butts. 💡 DO NO LISTEN TO THIS 💩 www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/h...

"So spare me your contempt Castiel, the self-hating Angel of Thursday. You know what every other version of you did after 'gripping him tight and raising him from Perdition?' They did what they were told. But not you. Not the one off the line with a crack in his chassis."  #HappyBirthdayCastiel 💙

My flight attendant grew up watching Sam, Dean, and Cas doing just that—fighting till their last breaths to save the world from the forces of evil. I think there’s a reason we take inspiration from those stories—in our hearts we know: we’ve got work to do.

Instead, I think bad leaders call us all to action: to stand up and fight for what’s right and to protect those who can’t protect themselves. 🧵

Bad leaders will deploy the power of nations to enrich themselves, silence opposition, and maim and kill—but that doesn’t make the people of those nations bad. 🧵

I don’t hate Israel or Israelis, but I hate the death, suffering, and destruction Netanyahu has wrought on Gaza. And I love my country, but I hate the authoritarian tactics and divisiveness that Trump is wielding to tear us apart and destroy what we stand for. 🧵

That made me realize I need to say: I don’t hate Russia or Russians—I hate what Putin has done to Ukraine and Syria. I don’t hate Palestinians, but I hate what the leaders of Hamas did on October 7th... 🧵

I was recently on a plane and the flight attendant said, “Can I take a selfie with you? I grew up watching Supernatural.” He had an accent, and I said, “Of course. Where are you from?” His lip quivered a bit, and he said, “I know you hate Russia, but I am from there.” 🧵

Well, Bob at least attempted to challenge him and ask why he isn’t trying to help tone things down. Van Orden remains a bully that won’t listen to or face anyone, including his own constituents(like me). You’re supposed to represent ALL of us. As usual, HE is encouraging division and hate.

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

They slash school budgets while handing billionaires tax breaks. They gut teachers and programs, even cutting services for blind and deaf students, then blame kids for “falling behind.” Call it what it is 📢 #GOPCutsKillEducation

Raskin to Patel: "In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for accountability and transparency with the Epstein files to being part of the conspiracy and coverup? The answer is simple. You said it yourself -- because of who is on that list."

Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

BALDWIN: We're left wondering who's advising Kennedy or if his own conspiracy theories are enough to dictate who can get a vaccine. Did you ever brief him? HOURY: No B: You were chief medical officer at CDC. Would you say it's harmful to the public if he's not informed by experts? H: Very much so

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Massie grills Kash Patel on his attempted coverup of Epstein files that detail additional people, including "one high profile government official," implicated in Epstein's crimes

HASSAN: When you pushed back on Kennedy's demands, how did he react? MONAREZ: He was very upset. The entire meeting was very tense. He was very upset throughout the entirety of our discussion and it was not a productive exchange of information

Monarez: "Kennedy made another set of assertions associated with CDC that were particularly pointed and hurtful and disparaging ... he said that CDC employees were killing children and they don't care"

SWALWELL: You're the director of the FBI. This is the largest sex trafficking case the FBI has ever been a part of. And your testimony today is you haven't reviewed all the Epstein files? PATEL: I've been busy providing the safest country this country has seen in modern US history in historic speed

LIEU: Are there photos of showing Donald Trump with girls of an uncertain age? PATEL: No L: How do you know? P: Because the information would've been brought to light by multiple administrations L: That's just not true. Nobody knew about the creepy birthday message that Trump wrote to Epstein

PATEL: The estate of Epstein has a voluminous amount of information that they have not released LIEU: Wouldn't it be great if the FBI subpoenaed the estate? P: The estate is under no obligation to provide that information L: That's just false. You're the frickin' FBI! You can subpoena information

LIEU: Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? PATEL: The index has been released LIEU: America, this is a huge red flag -- the FBI director could not answer whether Trump is on Epstein's client list

JAYAPAL: Have you met with the Epstein survivors? I'll give you one more chance PATEL: My job as the FBi directo-- JAYAPAL: Is the answer yes or no to whether or not you met with these women who were sexually abused and raped!

Jayapal to Patel: "Are you going to continue to coverup for the rich and powerful men including those that might be on this committee or are you going to allow them to testify?!?!"

This crystallizes the incredible shrinking Congress under Trump: MAGA Republicans think that public employees should not communicate with Congress even when members of Congress make clear that they want to hear from them. Because they believe legislative oversight of Trump is fundamentally wrong.

Wow- Cassidy says that "I understand that Sen Mullin implied there was a recording of the meeting between Dr Monarez and Sec Kennedy. I will note that if materials have been provided to Mullin, they are official committee records...if it does not exist, I ask Mullin to retract his line of questions"

ALSOBROOKS: Do you believe Secretary Kennedy is incompetent and dangerous to the American people's health? HOURY: I think he should resign

Moskowitz: "We just heard there were no riots on the right. We're literally sitting in a building where there was a giant riot by supporters of POTUS. We also heard only leftists have said Trump is a Nazi. In 2016, the current VP said 'Trump is either a cynical asshole or he's America's Hitler'"
