I’m fighting to save health care for people like Leslie.   "[Without ACA tax credits], premiums would be $1,131/month. That's more than triple. And I'm telling you right now that's 25% of our combined income... It's simply not affordable. So, what are we going to do?"

Call your senator or congress person and tell them to save Obamacare

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Thread:

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Intimate account of journalist @plasticjesusart.bsky.social being shot by LA Sheriff's Dept. His leg had "a lump of muscle" hanging out. Surgeons tried to remove his clothes, but encountered so much pepper spray on him that medical staff had to evacuate room. "Less lethal" munitions? Barely.

Telling Democrats "just give us your votes, talk to us later about health care" is NOT going to cut it. I'm saying NO. Premiums are set to more than DOUBLE. Republicans need to get serious about negotiations to reopen the government AND address the GOP health care crisis.

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/shutdown-h...

The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

My statement on the GOP shutdown.

The shutdown in a nutshell

Despite a government shutdown, Republicans will make sure Argentina gets their $20 billion.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

This is the language of dictators.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

This is Trump’s shutdown. They are Trump’s tariffs. It is Trump’s economy. It will be Trump’s recession.

…

Please repost. Democrats are fighting for small business owners who will be crushed by trump Republican healthcare costs!! #shutdown

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

As usual @kamalaharris.com was 100% RIGHT !!! @resist4harris.bsky.social #StrongerTogether @mlipsitt.bsky.social @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @baron333.bsky.social #Resist @tonyhq1985.bsky.social @333baron.bsky.social @lemonadegirl.bsky.social @dpsl.bsky.social #BlueVoters #BlueWave

Rep. Dean is correct—Trump is unwell. Scarier is that America isn't being run by Trump, but Stephen Miller. Miller is so much crazier that it's the difference between a rabid homicidal skunk with a swastika tattoo and a kitten that vomits and bites when petted. Miller directs the DHS/DOJ agendas.

This is a great read!

An excellent article from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social about a powerful ruling by U.S. District Judge William Young. This quote from Judge Young's ruling struck me in particular, that even if there is no legal consequence for illegal actions, we should not shy from calling them what they are.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Trump said he would cut drug costs “by 1500%.” Really? Since he took office, 688 prescription drugs have become MORE expensive. The legislation I wrote is simple: the U.S. must not pay more for prescription drugs than other countries. Let’s pass it.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. campaigned for president in part on the promise of breaking the US of its dependency on plastic, saying that the substance's production has "created a crisis for human health and the environment.” Now, he's working for an administration that embraces it.

they know they’re screwing our farmers with the tariffs, the bailout of Argentina, etc 👇🏽🧑‍🌾

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

“I asked Bannon if he thinks Miller’s tweet means federal law enforcement should and will now criminally investigate groups who describe ICE as “authoritarian.” — “Yes,” Bannon replied. “Stephen Miller is correct—more importantly he’s in charge.” 😕 🇺🇸 newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Another Kavanaugh stop.

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

Who’s next?

The Kavanaugh rule

Trump is literally a confused fox news grandpa www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

It’s ok; according to Brett Kavanaugh they’ll just have a brief interaction, show they are citizens, and be on their way a few moments later 🙄🙄

🧑‍🌾 @timmiller.bsky.social on the Trump FARMER BAILOUT: “Tariffs caused a trade war, farmers can’t sell… and now you and I will have to pay them. The stupidest policy I think I’ve ever seen. A land speed record for policy disaster.” The very tariffs he said would help them are killing them.

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!"

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Kamala Harris predicted a lot of what is unfolding today during her campaign and yet so much of the coverage at the time was as if she was taking crazy pills.

In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’ They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.
