The U.S. Education Department is handing off some of its biggest grant programs to other federal agencies as the Trump administration accelerates its plan to shut down the department. https://to.pbs.org/4a1sm7z

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that. It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

Trump got his wish to starve Americans. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold portions of SNAP payments for November. Huge thanks to the states and workers who rushed to process benefits before the ruling came down, not all heroes wear capes!

Who wants to help Cuomo pack for his move to Florida? 🙋🏽‍♀️ #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

BREAKING: All three PA Supreme Court Justices will RETAIN their seats!! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

📌Tonight is a complete repudiation of Trump's failing administration. Right now there is sheer panic among the Congressional serfs in the GOP, who have sacrificed themselves at the golden altar of their mad, unpopular, and hateful orange king. The PEOPLE have spoken and are coming for THEM.

YES....

BOOM💥 Decision Desk HQ projects Mikie Sherrill to win the New Jersey Governor election.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Trump Reopens Alaska Arctic Coastal Plain to Oil Leasing www.yahoo.com/finance/news... Nothing is sacred or protected anymore.

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud. Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

Well, well, well...

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Donald Trump is reportedly considering commuting Diddy’s prison sentence this week. Just as we all predicted when George Santos was freed. It’s all about the Benjamins.

He would still be bulldozing the White House even if the government wasn't shut down This is what megalomaniacal sociopaths are: they don't care what the People of the United States think, want, believe as a democratic whole

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally taking a bulldozer to the White House to build a ballroom while the government is shut down. When we say "No Kings," this is why.

NEW: Paul Ingrassia, Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told a group of Republicans in a text chain the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be "tossed into the seventh circle of hell" and said he has "a Nazi streak," according to a text chat viewed by POLITICO.

SCOOP: No Kings organizers tell MeidasTouch that RSVPs for the "No Kings" rallies have more than doubled since Mike Johnson and Republicans started attacking them

I’m old enough to remember when Conservatives screamed bloody murder about the IRS looking at their think tanks. Trump is weaponizing the IRS to go after liberal non-profits. Gifted article: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING via WSJ The Trump administration is planning sweeping changes in criminal division at the IRS. Full Story: on.wsj.com/3LbVFtK

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs. I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

“As a nation, I think we should have as a basic principle that you can’t have a secret list of terrorist organizations that the American public and certainly the U.S. Congress don’t get to even know the names of.” - @slotkin.senate.gov michiganadvance.com/2025/10/13/m...

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health. Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-death-...

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

Because… measles containment & prevention “is not aligned with the Trump administration’s political agenda.”

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.” Among those RIFd: —leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases; —leadership of global health center —leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Typically, when you are mobilizing the armed forces against your own people, you’re not a leader of courage and integrity, and you’re not a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

BREAKING New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued her first statement in the aftermath of being indicted by President Trump’s DOJ.

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state. U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.
