Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Are we winning yet?

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

Of all the best and kindest humans to ever live, Jane Goodall is near the top of my list. Rest in Peace, you beautiful soul. On behalf of the earth, I thank you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

The French military today arrested two crew members on a tanker suspected of belonging to Russia's shadow fleet, according to the local prosecutor's office.

President Donald Trump toured the facility in July and suggested it could be a model for future lockups nationwide as his administration pushes to expand the infrastructure needed to increase deportations. https://to.pbs.org/4nGrPvV

The Yaroslavl Refinery (Yaroslavnefteorgsintez) is the largest oil refinery in northern Russia. Its facilities are designed to process 15 million tons of crude oil annually. By primary oil refining capacity, it ranks fifth among all refineries in Russia.

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

They ARE the effing swamp.

Trump’s dementia takes more detours than a lost Uber driver.

jane goodall made me believe i could just go up and hug any wild animal

Bomb them all

Yaroslavl, Russia. Oil refinery is on fire for some reason 🔥👀

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

This is what happens when childish little incompetent morons fuck with things.

He is and always will be Trump's other puny little Johnson.

There was no characterization. That’s what he said. But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Sure, the federal government is shut down, but…at least we are planning to bail out Argentina. “America First,” my ass.

Trump craponomics

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

Keep talking, Howard, keep talking.

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

As of September 28, 38% of Russia's primary oil refining capacity - equivalent to 338,000 tons per day - was out of operation. Drone attacks that have struck more than two dozen major oil refineries in Russia since early August have driven the Russian fuel market into an unprecedented crisis.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I imagined it

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.”

Energy Secretary Ed Milliband brands Nigel Farage and his allies as: 'Investment-crushing, job-destroying, bill-raising, poverty-driving, science-denying, Putin-appeasing, young people betraying, bunch of ideological extremists’

State Rep. James Talarico raised $6.2 million in the first three weeks of his bid for Senate, a massive haul that far outpaces the earliest fundraising numbers tallied by recent Democratic statewide hopefuls.

BINGO!

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

So Trump is defunding the police.

AOC: "This will experiences the consequences of this, but we have to be the consequence. Which is why we have to stand tall right now alongside everyday Americans who want us to be standing up."

"Grand jury forum shopping." Only the Trump DOJ would try something so absurd.

Donald Trump and the GOP own this shutdown. Simply put, they want to dismantle our public goods and commit state violence against marginalized people—and that’s what they’re fighting for. That’s the agenda they’re prioritizing over the people’s business.

Abuse of detainees amounting to “disgraceful, criminal misconduct”, racist & misogynist comments, & support for Tommy Robinson… The good old institutionally racist, sexist & homophobic Met that keeps Londoners safe is in fine form I see. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Here’s a clip of me venting about Hegseth’s expensive , unnecessary and dangerous meeting and his hostility to women in the military. Rest of the episode analyzes why Coney indictment is legally, factually and ethically wrong. #JustTheFacts

Trump wanted this shutdown. He *always* did. And everyone in Washington knows it. Everything else is spin.

I represented vets as an attorney and 100% agree. The way Hegseth talks about war explains why he spent his post-service years working to weasel known war criminals hated by their fellow soldiers back into polite society. Everything Pete does is about Pete—none of it has anything to do with America.
