They rounded up Americans. They separated American families. They put flex ties on children which are plastic handcuffs. They destroyed their homes. They and their children are traumatized. Enough.

GOP Last Week: "We control everything." Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

This is an Epstein shutdown.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do. It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate. Always punching down

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

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...

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Republicans control every branch in Washington. Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on. His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

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.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

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

18,000 Minnesota federal employees have been furloughed thanks to Trump’s shutdown. Republicans are prioritizing tax breaks for the rich while defunding Minnesotans’ health care and leaving them without pay

For all the media repeating that ACA COVID subsidies “cost” ~$30B, the U.S. just pledged $20B to Argentina to stabilize an autocrat’s government and protect a GOP megadonor who loaded up on Argentine debt. No one’s blinking at that. Let’s keep things in perspective.

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."

Every media outlet and talking head that ever published a puff piece which normalized the abhorrent Stephen Miller can go to hell

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein never got kicked out of Wall Street’s VIP club. His banking and investment activities before his death were more widespread than previously known, including accounts at multiple banks.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Rep. Dean is correct—Trump is unwell. Scarier is that America isn't being run by Trump, but Stephen Miller. Miller is so much crazier that it's the difference between a rabid homicidal skunk with a swastika tattoo and a kitten that vomits and bites when petted. Miller directs the DHS/DOJ agendas.

Stephen Miller told officers armed with guns that they are "unleashed." Nothing about this is normal. This is a threat to our democracy.

Straight up: I’m not onboard with farmers getting another bailout when so many voted for Trump two and three times. But what Trump is doing to them is brutal. I want to believe they’ve learned their lesson this time, but I don’t. Watch all the way through.

This is some nasty work. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

A better headline: “Trump blackmailing top universities” or Trump holds funding hostage

Just our dipshit vice president literally advocating that undocumented people — who pay taxes — should bleed out on the sidewalk instead of going to the ER. Wait till he sees how crowded the ERs get when hospitals close due to his & Trump’s massive Medicaid cuts.

All of this is to say that DHS is taking their war on civilians -- and especially on journalists -- to the sky. And "war" isn't that hyperbolic when you look at their gear. They're literally flying predator drones over large civilian population centers as super creepy surveillance.

They’re trying to cut off eyes from the sky. We need an Unraveled helicopter. If you have a helicopter, hmu on signal.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Yes to ballrooms. No to healthcare for Americans. Got it.

Been saying for 7-8 years the immigration enforcement agencies were going to take over the country. It is white supremacy; no they are not fucking around; it will be bad. But I was called hyperbolic, a liar, disgruntled former employee, getting revenge for my rape. Apparently, I’m still lying.

NEW Immigration judge denies Kilmar Abrego García’s request to reopen case The judge, who works for DOJ, found “insufficient evidence” that the Trump administration would send Abrego to Uganda. DHS had said “He will be processed for removal to Uganda.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Please remember this in the days going forward: Everything going forward could have been avoided if Republican Congress members simply did their job and obeyed their oath to the Constitution. It’s that simple. They abandoned the country. They can say what they want, but that’s what happened.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?
