By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th. Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one? Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

For sport, I tell you. For sport.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

It’s been 18 days since the start of the Trump shutdown. Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

The GOP: “Don’t call Trump an authoritarian, that’s dangerous!” Also the GOP: “Peaceful protesters are domestic terrorists who hate America.”

Facts don’t care about the GOP’s feelings — there’s nothing more American than rejecting a mad king. Please join us tomorrow: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

It’s been 16 days since the government shutdown started. Republicans are still refusing to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

@kenmartin.bsky.social The DSCC is supporting Janet Mills over Graham Platner and Hailey Stevens over Mallory McMorrow. No wonder Dems lose all the time. @schumer.senate.gov, your political instincts are 20 years out-of-date. Dems widely dislike Gillibrand, so of course you choose her to lead DSCC.

We need to support family farmers and ranchers, not squeeze them out.

Nurse: Asking our friends and neighbors[...]to pay more than double for their premiums is going to force people off their health insurance[...]instead of working with Democrats to lower health care cost, Republicans shut down the government and took a vacation.

The Trump administration is working to double the Argentina bailout. They want to send $40 BILLION total to rescue a foreign country’s economy—all while Americans’ health care costs skyrocket. “America First” was a blatant lie.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald. I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Opinion | It's time for corporate America to end DEI and choose its leaders on the basis of merit alone. by Barron Trump

Extremely satisfying and fact-filled takedown.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

@jaketapper.bsky.social Are you going to report on Trump's mental state, Jake?

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

It’s a bad look.

@nbcnews.com Watching your nightly news right now. Funny how this part didn't make it to your report. Frankly, I'm not surprised. But, good job sanitizing what Trump and Hegseth said. I know making it sound as innocuous as possible was your goal.

Once again I’m reminded, trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance. Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna. See how this works?

Sen. Chris Murphy: "We are introducing in both the Senate and the House the No Political Enemies Act. This legislation makes sure that the law is on the side of free speech and the right to dissent. I wish this legislation weren't necessary, but it is now."

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov Democrats should be talking about Trump's corrupt UAE crypto deal 24/7. Subpoena Witkoff to testify before the Senate.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

They are so weak they have to resort to silencing you. Do not be quiet… they have no power, and the weak little boy Donald withers when challenged every time

The real villain is Nexstar who pulled from all their ABC affiliates and have a big merger pending FCC approval. Boycott The CW, NewsNation, Food Network, The Hill, and 200 local tv stations (Google your area). Spread the word.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Yes, Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade really said this about homeless people: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

NEW: House Rules Committee Republicans all just opposed a Dem measure to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. What are they hiding?

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

REPUBLICAN @RepThomasMassie says the Epstein files *release* was bogus
