New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare. It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

So resolve the issues. We’re not being invaded. There’s no emergency requiring tariffs. Crime is not up.

Nobody from the Trump admin will answer this simple question no matter how many times you ask it. For some reason. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Ken Paxton’s crimes are well known. But John Cornyn may be even more corrupt. Cornyn was the deciding vote on the “Big Ugly Bill” — kicking millions off their healthcare to give his billionaire donors a tax cut. That is corruption of the highest order.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Illinois has blocked Trump administration authorities from using force against journalists in the Chicago area — including threats or arrest or riot control weapons. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

The Supreme Court will rehear Louisiana v. Callais on Oct 15—a case that could reshape voting rights nationwide. At stake is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the core protection that stops racial discrimination in redistricting. If it falls, one party could control Congress for a generation. 🧵

"For Democrats, this particular moment of cartoonish graft presents a huge opportunity to unify around an anti-corruption platform." It's a way to focus on Trump without sounding hyperpartisan. @davidsirota.com on the (good) politics of fighting corruption:

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

The same holds for me. Any account on TikTok asking for money is NOT ME. Someone is posting the audio from our Saturday morning conversations, and pretending to be us.

Folks: I am not on TikTok. Any account there is not me. And I will NEVER ask for money!

Women in Virginia deserve to know that their reproductive rights are protected here. Winsome Earle-Sears supports banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. Virginia, hear me when I say — as Governor, I will always protect your reproductive freedom.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. So we really need to see some of these new markets opening up around the globe ... but if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."

Americans aren't buying Trump's shutdown blame game, and for good reason

Trump's CEA is circulating its estimate of the economic cost of the government shutdown. But, BREAKING: It's wrong. It makes a simple arithmetic error. And it's dishonest. Surprising, I know. 🧵

New in PN: Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship "So far, nothing he's done has prompted a critical mass of Republicans to speak out about his abuses of power. And in his address to military brass, Trump signaled he intends to go much further."

Tonight, a post that is longer than usual. But a Judge in Boston issued a 1st Amendment decision that is incredibly important (& long), and we trace his reasoning and some startling conclusions he committed to paper. I hope you’ll stick with me and read to the end. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies. It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check. Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous. Or a boat full of fishermen.
