Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov please do this!

Hegseth speech was the worst things my eyes have ever seen. All of the things he said were so bad and caused extreme douche chills. The way he chose to pace and point to the camera was so unbelievably cringe. All so rehearsed and yet so very very bad. Pete Hegseth is the secretary of douche

"I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape or in combat units with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men" - Pete Hegseth, defense secretary

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres? Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime. When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

TRUMP'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS JAMES COMEY ALLOWED LEAKS TO THE PRESS ABOUT AN FBI INVESTIGATION. SO THEY CHARGED HIM. NOW THEY ARE LEAKING DETAILS TO THE PRESS ABOUT THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION... INTO JAMES COMEY. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP....

How appropriate that this reminds me of a scene from a movie called “Clueless.”

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are being arrested based on ‘how they look’

This!

Let’s do it!! 💙

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Let’s go! 💙

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time

Hilarious 😂

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

The damage will take years to repair but Justice will prevail…if we want it.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A @POTUS for only a few! He’s not mine! #IMPEACH47

Can the West finally show up to this war they are in?

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I guess modern history began in 2017.

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and radio stations. We will not send our kids and our money to your universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to authoritarianism.” ~ Jason Crow, D-CO #NONViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

SMITE!!!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
