I'm not sure that National Guard troops heading for Portland are ready for unicyclists whipping around plastic shovels with devil sticks.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

A senior White House official accidentally leaked details of plans to send an elite army unit to Portland, in the latest intelligence leak by the Trump administration.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do. It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate. Always punching down

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Republican Senate bigwigs dined on fine French fare at a Capitol Hill institution as the government shutdown began.

Are we great yet?

This is what unity looks like.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people? That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago. He still has his job.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

The fight goes on to save health care for millions of people. Here's what just happened in the Senate.

And *this* is why "The View" didn't mention Jimmy Kimmel being forced out in violation of the First Amendment, even though it was the biggest news of the day. The hosts' paychecks will always come before informing you.

Canceled Hulu and watching 2073 on Max.

Cancel subscriptions Disney, Hulu, and ESPN ... they are traitors to the 1st amendment and common sense. Consider going to Universal and not Disney parks. Vote with your dollars!! #disney #cancel #kimmel

HMM…THIS IS THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND SACRIFICE IS REQUIRED. YOUR MONEY IS YOUR POWER!! #PINKS #RESIST #CANCEL

It's called the First Amendment, which also applies to the new paperback of the book he hates and sued over this week (I know people are angry, but don't buy this book. Repeat: Do NOT buy this book #StreisandEffect)

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

Newsom unearthed comments that Miller made about free speech being “the cornerstone of democratic self-government.”

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

Measles cases hit record highs with RFK Jr. in charge. Now, his hand-picked vaccine panel just voted to make it harder for little babies to get vaccinated for measles and other diseases. How does that keep our kids safe?
