Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Truer words have never been spoken

We have a president who is building more wealth through his office than any in history. We cannot turn a blind eye to this corruption.

It only cost us $40 billion.

A Republican president has decided he wants to go to war with Venezuela and is now creating the pretext to justify it, just like Bush did with Iraq. Then it was WMDs, now it is drugs. Except even Bush still at least went to Congress for a vote. King Donald doesn’t bother.

Right now? Russ Vought failing to ‘dismantle the bureaucracy’ He’s raging because he wasn’t able to just fire everyone like he we wanted to during the shutdown, and I like it when fascists are mad.

He seems to have this idea that if we’re in a war, he can invoke wartime powers and take greater control of the government. Some people are speculating that he’s going to try to stop the midterms due to a war, but that’s not happening - we’ve had elections through every war in our nation’s history

Don’t worry about Barron Trump dropping out of college. He can just do what his shady mother did and LIE about getting a degree.

The American First guy on Air Force 1 today with his Qatari business partners: “It’s an honor to have you on this plane … first time.”

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency. An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Get into the weeds of their misdeeds.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

When Democrats hold the majority in Congress, we will hold anyone accountable who aids Trump’s corruption.

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war. “Seizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go. 1/2

An ICE agent arrested in August on suspicion of driving drunk questioned the nationality of a sheriff’s deputy and threatened to check the deputy’s immigration status, according to newly released body-camera footage.

As you enjoy picking and carving your #Halloween pumpkin, remember the farm workers who labored to grow and harvest them. Let's give a big thanks to the Salinas CA farm workers who harvested these pumpkins that have ended up at local pumpkin patches and area stores. #WeFeedYou

BREAKING: Left-wing independent Catherine Connolly is set to become Ireland’s next president after her rival conceded defeat in a presidential election Saturday.

“Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”

He does not care if the American people starve. He doesn’t care if we die. We are nothing to him.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Hands off NYC : Thousands of demonstrators have gathered outside the Trump Tower!

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

"There's no fear today" -- it's a love fest for Letitia James outside the courthouse after she pleaded not guilty

Autocrats want you to feel like pushing back is hopeless. It’s not! Trump is a paper tiger. Most Americans don’t want this authoritarian takeover.

The sad truth for Fat Senile Satan.

"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes. The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.

Ah yes, Fox. It's the media that's focusing on the East Wing amid the shutdown. Not the guy who decided to bulldoze the East Wing during the shutdown.

Vance holds the simultaneous beliefs that pregnant girls are adults, but GOP men working as staffers, some reaching middle age with full beards and children of their own, are “kids.” open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

GOV. WHITMER: “.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.” @thehill.com thehill.com/homenews/adm...

🇨🇦 After Trump’s temper tantrum over the (VERY REAL) Reagan anti-tariffs ad, Canada says they will now turn towards making deals with Asia instead. MAGA = Making Asia Great Again & Making Argentina Great Again

Never imagined our law enforcement would look like this.

All Democratic politicians should be using the destruction of the White House as a backdrop to talk about how Donald Trump is destroying everything we value to enrich himself.

Trump: “I don't think we're gonna ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.” What. The. Fuck?

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

I just wanna remind everyone that Trump is the oldest person ever to become president. In 2028 he will be 83.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

How long til he starts doing it on Fifth Avenue?

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment. Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it. He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts. Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it." Go Jack!

I joined my colleague, Senator Jeff Merkley, on the floor yesterday to help him explain how democracies die. There isn't one explosive moment - it is a slow consistent attack on opposition political speech until the rules are so rigged, only the regime can win elections.

TRUMP: "We've totally locked down our border!" TRUMP (one minute later): "Venezuelans are streaming into our country in record numbers!"

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Reporter: Any more details on the president's Walter Reed visit? The doctor mentioned advanced imaging. What procedure was he referring to?  Leavitt: Advanced imaging is something that presidents receive and people receive when they go to the doctor.

Imagine killing fishermen in international waters because they have too many engines on their boats.

They know the East Wing demolition is bad optics for them that’s why so many have suddenly “come to life” on this platform today armed w/inaccurate talking points about earlier renovations at the WH.
