Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear: "The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare." On repeat and everywhere.

It doesn't get much attention but the jobs president cost US over 100,000 new, high paying jobs when he canceled Renewable Energy projects that were greenlit under Biden. These numbers are not reflected in the jobs report.

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.

My message during this Trump-manufactured shutdown is simple: Health care over billionaires.

This shutdown is of Republicans' own making. Democrats are at the negotiating table. We don't have a long list of demands. We're not saying we need to find more money. We just want Republicans to restore the health care coverage they took away from millions of Americans.

So unexpected!!! (No, not really)...

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

As a father, son, and husband, I see it as my responsibility to get vaccinated so I can keep myself and my family safe this flu season. Speak with your doctor today and get vaccinated against the flu to protect yourself and your community this year!

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

GOP values at play here.

Jesse talks about Speaker Mike Johnson's disastrous appearance on ABC News this morning with George Stephanopoulos, during which Mike Johnson's lies were fact-checked in real-time, which seemed to rattle him a bit. youtu.be/V-D3lSDxasI?...

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Just try to imagine the public outcry and wall-to-wall media coverage if President Biden had cancelled $8 billion in funding to red states.

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way. I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

Good. Make them pay for their abuse of power. apple.news/AkLUmWI_pTs2...

Swear her in.

No more delays, Speaker Johnson. Administer the oath of office to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva so she can get to work for Southern Arizona.

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

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

While Floridians struggle with rising rent, utility bills & groceries, Ron DeSantis approved an $83 MILLION land deal with a GOP donor, paying 10x what it cost. This is blatantly corrupt. Florida families deserve leaders who put people first.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

He was just in the news a couple weeks ago again because he had another warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court date for yet another driving incident.

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."

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were expecting rousing applause and standing ovations from our nation’s generals. They were met with silence. Generals know that what Trump is doing is wrong.

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

The National Flood Insurance Program — used by millions of homeowners to protect against the costs from storm damage — is set to lapse as a federal government shutdown looms.
