BREAKING: Striking workers are currently storming Tesla showrooms in Paris, demanding higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

bsky.app/profile/hens... Going exactly the way Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and Russ Vought had hoped. I wonder what CEOs around the country think about the whole economy tanking…

PLAYBOOK: “.. Fine dining on the first night of a government shutdown? Those Democratic attack lines almost write themselves.” @politico.com www.politico.com/newsletters/...

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Trump withholding federal funding for the Hudson Tunnels to punish his political opponents is a blatantly illegal action that threatens nearly one hundred thousand working class jobs, wastes taxpayers money, and damages the safety and economic wellbeing of our nation.

“.. What this administration is doing is unprecedented, illegal and flat-out wrong. .. I’ve been deeply engaged in our federal government for over 30 years and there is nothing that has come close.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

While he lets the thousands of soldiers and federal workers in his district go without pay, Rob Wittman ate $90 steak with wealthy donors. Republicans don't care about you. https://www.virginiascope.com/wittman-holds-fundraiser-as-the-government-shutdown-looms/

Shutdowns of the federal government usually don’t leave much economic damage. But the one that started Wednesday looks riskier, not least because President Trump is threatening to eliminate thousands of government jobs and the state of the economy is already precarious. https://to.pbs.org/4pT6uAK

If you are not *alarmed,* you are not paying attention. 🆘🇺🇸

How convenient.

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year. I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"... -Ensure our food is safe to eat -Keep our air and water clean -Alert us to natural disasters -Protect us from financial fraud and scammers Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

These descriptions characterize the Republican Party…

What I.C.E. and this Administration are doing to brown-skinned people is a crime. It’s a sin. It's inhumane. It's not pro-life. It’s not Christian. It’s not making America great. It's wrong by any measurement decent people use. And it’s time we said it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-ice-at...

Thank you to all who stand strong against tyranny.

Are we great yet?

Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trump’s blank checks. Let your legislators hear from you.

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."

Dear all: they are cooking the books to make things look better than they are. My guess is -3,000 jobs is more like -30,000 jobs. Just saying….

Trump's kleptocratic Administration, populated by an unqualified sycophant like Pete Hegseth, serves as a strident “f*ck you” to the millions who lost years and futures and limbs trying to protect a Republic that is now teetering on the edge of the abyss. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans — and the GOP has forced a government shutdown to do it.

The last 3 shutdowns were all under Trump/GOP control. The GOP can’t govern, and America knows it.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

“The surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this year…” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

In case you missed it, yesterday the president, and I use that word with hatred in my heart, told the generals in OUR MILITARY that they could use the blue cities as “training grounds for the military”!! What the actual fuck is happening here????

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.
