Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Reality check

The US Army recommends German food banks for it's troops stationed in Germany. But a gilded ballroom is possible... home.army.mil/bavaria/abou...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won. And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states! This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.

Trump announces he will refuse to follow the court order to provide SNAP benefits to needy families.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases. That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing. It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship. 1/ So here's a🧵

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

Resources for those needing food! If you've got the ability to help, this can also show you some good places to start for donating food, toiletries, etc.

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."

The difference between us and them

🥪

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children. This is so heartbreaking 💔

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Republicans say they care about federal workers, but today they blocked my bill to pay ALL federal workers, servicemembers, and contractors and stop Trump’s illegal firings. I hope they’ll join us to get our public servants paid — but not in a way that lets Trump turn around and fire them anyway.

📉 San Francisco is on track for the fewest number of homicides and street encampments in decades 📉 Crime rates are down across California ✅ State and local partners are using increased funds to hold drug traffickers accountable We're getting the job done on public safety.

The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority. Meanwhile. The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

Rand Paul was the only Republican senator not invited to Trump’s luncheon at his new Rose Garden Club today. He said he had lunch with Thomas Massie instead. bsky.app/profile/blue...

So wait — Republicans are insisting Trump is paying for the $250,000,000 ballroom himself (he isn’t)… even as he extorts basically the same amount from the DOJ? Y’all will really run cover for any amount of corruption and greed huh

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

“Speaker Johnson, can you name the planet upon which we all live?” “I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that particular celestial orb, so no, I cannot.” “…” “Of course, I’d be happy to talk about all the posts on Adelita Grijalva’s TikTok account.”

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

"Trump overestimated the degree to which Americans’ antipathy toward illegal immigration was rooted in racism and xenophobia and underestimated the degree to which it was about the rule of law." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-immi...

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...
