Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

We often forget how far we have come: Today almost 3/4 of EU electricity generation is from non-fossil energy sources. It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation. Source is @ember-energy.org

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

It's a civil offense to be in the U.S. illegally and kidnapping is not a legal means to resolve it. This 16 yr. boy and his family shouldn't have to live in daily terror, it's inhumane and un-American. It's heartbreaking to witness this abuse of power.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

This is brilliant

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

Meiselas: Right now, this idea of the bully has been glorified, and we have to disabuse people of that notion and say, “Nah, that’s weakness.” Stop blaming your problems marginalized groups. We have to proudly support communities that have been under attack—’cause they’re human beings, dammit.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

And everyone who screamed about Hunter is silent. Endless corruption. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social's middle name is 🔥🔥🔥

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

Important to note that it's New York STATE that brought charges against the J6er that threatened Hakeem Jeffries. Not the DOJ.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...

NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to swear in Grijalva. Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.

This really is a GREAT sign!

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Be safe and have fun out there at those peaceful patriotism parties today, y’all. Don’t forget to tag us in your pics of the best signs. #NoKings 🇺🇸

Wisdom from Schoolhouse Rock.

M.I.T. Brown. Penn. USC. Now UVA — “the fifth school to rebuff a White House proposal to give universities preferential treatment if they uphold a set of White House demands.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Nasty business

The "ceasefire" does not seem to be going great

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

“Kids”

The system feeds on your outrage. It can weaponize your anger and categorize your protest. But it can’t process humor. It can’t predict love. That’s why kindness and laughter are still the most radical acts left.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Solidarity is the only way

Vicious authoritarianism built on a pretext of shameless lies under the cover of scolding Christianity.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane
