Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security. None of this is normal.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

OLD HEADWIND: High mortgage rates. NEW HEADWIND: Weak job market. @reuters.com $XHB www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

WHO condemns the reported killing of more than 460 patients and their companions, as well as the abduction of six health workers, on 28 October from the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher, Sudan. Read the full press release: bit.ly/3WuVZ9u

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Powell: "If you listen to the reports of big public consumer-facing companies, many of them are saying there's a bifurcated economy and that consumers on the lower end are struggling and buying less and shifting to lower cost products, but that at the top people are spending."

The Republican chairmen of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees condemned the Pentagon’s plan to draw down American troop levels in Romania, saying the decision was made without consultation with lawmakers.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

Powell: "A further reduction in the policy rate at the December meeting is not a foregone conclusion."

"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?" "No on Prop 50" Chair: [silence] "It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide."

Remainder; the GOP is in charge of all three branches of government, including the Supreme Court. Holding back the Democrats from performing their duties.

Suddenly Fall Minnesota

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Two days ago, my wife and I packed up our entire lives into 7 suitcases and moved to Portugal. Here's what I've learned in the months that led us to this point. youtube.com/shorts/QxeUH...

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Our Country no longer cares about being humanitarian toward other countries whose citizens do not look like us. Sudan, Gaza, and Ethiopia countries on the verge of alienation from the rest of the world.

BREAKING: Judge Rejects GOP’s Emergency Bid to Halt Virginia Democrat’s Redistricting efforts.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

BTIG: “.. $SOX 38% above its 200 DMA, a level rarely exceeded in the last 30 years with the exception of the final blowoff phase of the tech bubble in the spring of 2000.”

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

We’re in a very dark place and I’m scared for our nation. I think that apartment complex in Chicago was a test. They will move on from immigrants soon. People need be to be prepared. We should act NOW!

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News www.motherjones.com/politics/202... With the acquisition of Paramount/CBS by Oracle's Larry Ellison and the hiring of uber right ideologue Bari Weiss, no one should bother tuning in to CBS news. It's just another Fox clone

Body language says it all.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.

Gallego, the next three years Trump and his trolls would have a tactical plan to run for a third term and be elected. No one would be able to arrest him, only the "We the People" can stop him by everyone of us voting for his opponent.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

The Washington Post has lost credibility.

Someone once joked that Calvin Coolidge aspired to be the *least* president the country had ever had, doing as little as humanly possible. Mike Johnson has already become the least speaker we’ve ever had.

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

🚨A federal judge is blocking Trump from firing federal workers during the shutdown — rightfully saying these illegal firings were likely "political retribution." Trump needs to stop punishing our dedicated public servants and actually come to the table to end this shutdown.

With a $10 million investment in Peoria, we’re converting Sheridan Rd into a modernized, urban three-lane road with sidewalks and a multi-use path.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

George Washington warned us about a reckless demagogue who could exploit the power of the presidency to feast “on the ruins of public liberty.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-rec...

REP DeLauro is correct the funds are appreciated, the GOP does not have the orders from Trump to release the funds.

The closing ad for Proposition 50. The future of our democracy could depend on this passing on Tuesday.

The video shows Trump walking with the Prime Minister of Japan, he could not walk in a straight line. Kept deviating toward the Guards and leaving PM behind. MRI or CT Scan will show low blood or oxygen circulation in the brain, or any other medical reason.

Raise your hand if you #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Spk Johnson, need to change your reply "I do not know. . . . " We know, you know.

Dangerous Weather will increase as long as our government continues to claim that Climate Change is a hoax.

Opposing gerrymandering doesn’t mean Democrats should surrender to the MAGA power grab in Texas. California's Proposition 50 would cancel out the seats that Trump and Greg Abbott are trying to steal. Vote YES by November 4. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Hx...
