Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

COLLINS: Why do you think Trump didn't mean that? He referred very specific cities MIKE TURNER: He doesn't mean it in the manner you said it COLLINS: I was just quoting him

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Today’s writing club at the high school focused on ways to begin telling a story. We went through some different ways to begin, but the big takeaway: know your audience and your story. None of us is telling a story in a vacuum; engage your audience in your moment. Shirt by @hrc.org

This is what Trump is posting as the government prepares to shut down on his watch

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

🚨Trump SCREWS OVER America in SHUTDOWN STUNT We discuss the shutdown, Whiskey Pete's embarrassing speech to military brass and take YOUR call to The People's Hotline. 🔥Plus, Jim Dances!! WATCH NOW: youtu.be/yHglVD43Hb8

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

I hope our military leaders thought those speeches were as insane as the rest of us did.

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

I just want all my anti-vax MAGA friends to see how much Trump praised Pfizer today for all their work on the Covid vaccine.

100%

The GOP will go to any lengths to cover for Trump, even if it’s just a freudian slip. 👇

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

Why doesn’t Trump use the $600 billion he got from the EU to fund the govt for a while until we work things out. I’m sure that money must be somewhere. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours. It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Good news, but I hate that it took a judge to do it.

“We became ‘the woke department’…Not any more. We’re done with that shit.” -Hegseth He & his fuhrer are incompetent and disgraceful. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Psychotic-y megalomaniacal behavior

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

I love Kamala so much! This is great! What a better place America would be if only the smart, educated, kind qualified Woman as elected over the hateful, moron whos in the white house now

Stephen Miller has been lying to Donald Trump about what's happening in Portland because Stephen Miller knows that Donald is dumb enough to believe anything.

"Because of changes that are starting to roll out from Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill... about 2.4 million people could lose access to the food stamps per month... "Millions more will see their monthly benefit amounts shrink because of changes mandated by the law... www.cbsnews.com/news/food-st...

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

We are being ruled by the dumbest people on earth.

Yeah, tell me more about this antichrist thing? "Another Epstein schedule notes a planned lunch with tech billionaire Peter Thiel on Nov. 27, 2017, and a breakfast with conservative political strategist Steve Bannon on Feb. 16, 2019..." www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Eric Adams was a terrible mayor and he made me believe in the mayor curse.

I’m proud to stand with Mikie Sherrill. She is facing relentless and even unlawful attacks on her character. Will you join me in supporting her?

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

You can disagree with how Eric Adams ran the city, but you have admit that he did more for US-Turkey relations than any previous NYC mayor.

He. Was. Indicted. For. Bribery. In. 2024. Do. Not. Congratulate.

📌I am going to put this nicely: Democrats continuing to foist Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries on us as "leaders" during these terrifying times that demand strength, bravery, and resolve is really, really fucking insulting.

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

It’s both heartbreaking and mind-boggling that after a church shooting, the best we have to offer is thoughts and prayers—exactly what the victims were doing.

Presidents get too much credit when the American economy is strong & too much blame when it isn’t. But in the case of farmers who can’t sell crops, Trump clearly gets 100% of the blame. Rare when you can point to economic disaster in a sector directly attributable to a president.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

No there are not fine people on both sides

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼
