Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

It feels rich John Bolton has been indicted on charges of mishandling classified information. Just saying. #Resist

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news. I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

URGENT: America First Legal wants a nationwide “show your papers” rule that could block 21M Americans from voting, especially women, students, seniors & low-income voters We must stop this dangerous voter suppression scheme Submit your comment by Oct 20👇 - TN actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Reporters leave the Pentagon but the leaks continue. This is in the NY Times today

If Adelita Grijalva was a Republican, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago to the office she was elected to. If she wasn’t the deciding signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago. All his bs excuses are lies.

Trump's DOJ is going after his political enemies. The Washington Post editorial board is suddenly concerned. But it wasn't concerned when it endorsed Pam Bondi for AG, calling her a "qualified" and "serious" pick. Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina’s top elections official is pressing the state’s Division of Motor Vehicles for unprecedented access to voters’ full Social Security numbers — a move that could erode voter privacy protections and lay the groundwork for mass voter purges

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

DOJ has lost any presumption of regularity & after the Comey and James charges, I am very suspicious of the Bolton ones I explained on MSNBC 👇 a thread

Mike Johnson has spent hours insisting he can swear Grivalja in any time, geez, guys what’s all the fuss about, when he could, you know, just swear her in.

C-SPAN: Mike Johnson says Republicans “have always stood with Capitol police and we’ve shown that.” Republicans forfeited their right to ever say the back the blue, when they betrayed the Capitol police officers by voting against a Jan. 6th investigation. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism." Once you give up your power, the authoritarian wins.

🎵 Paul Simon Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination (democracy) The more you're slip slidin' away This is happening in real time because as you can see, the more bending of the knee, the more ground he takes.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it." The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.

Cuomo had better learn how to say “Mayor Mamdani” correctly, because he got smoked last night.🔥

Cracks Are Showing in the Russian economy. Even Russian economists now warn the economy is sliding into a hole the Kremlin can’t paper over. Alarm bells are ringing. Tax hikes, corporate losses, declining revenues — this matters for Putin’s war machine. youtu.be/56yJTQbqdic

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Jeanine Pirro becoming the Washington Generals of prosecutors.

Don’t you dare give up!!! Not for one second. We are a huge snowball headed down the mountain! If we don’t act now it’s going to be over and they will have won. We The People have had enough!!!!

Tax the FRIGGIN RICH....

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning. The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down. The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights. Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

Voting Rights Act was enacted to protect the Voting Rights of the Minorities.

Gov. JB Pritzker joins former U.S. generals, admirals & veterans to sound the alarm on the militarization of American cities. When those who’ve led troops into combat warn against turning our streets into war zones we should all listen. #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/live/-aRKOlv...

'Look at that!' Analysts 'wowed' as judges unite to deny Trump's invasion of Chicago www.rawstory.com/trump-judges...

New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid. Who thinks that sounds good? ✋

Q: “What's your message to the 170 or so U.S. citizens who have been detained by ICE, about 20 of them are children?” Johnson: “I don't know what you're talking about with the children…I haven't seen that, so I'm not going to comment on it.”

Another distraction. Enough is enough. Reopen the government. Release the Epstein files. www.facebook.com/share/p/17WV...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Letitia James: "The indictment is baseless. It's nothing more than retribution. Retribution for basically doing my job ... I will defend these charges. And I want everyone to know that it is completely baseless and I am totally innocent."

"That’s why Smith’s tone—precise, almost understated—was so affecting. He wasn’t defending himself so much as defending what it means to be a federal prosecutor. Every sentence reaffirmed the moral geometry of the old DOJ." open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

You can't win when the facts of the case include: POTUS "has publicly stated that the layoffs will be ‘a lot’ & that they ‘will be Democrat oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing, so they should be Democrat-oriented.’” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Mockler: We saw this Nazi group chat which I’m sure you condemn right? Kolvet: We can talk about it Mockler: Do you condemn it? Kolvet: I want to talk about it Mockler: So, you’re like JD Vance? You won’t condemn this?

Now the $20B has gone up to $40B. The Dems are fighting for the US people while the GOP is concerned with the people of Argentina. That brought us to a shutdown. Now either we screw the US with them or they stay closed. It's all or nothing for them. There is no negotiation. Just say no!
