The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Absolutely disgusting of her and @forbes.com when the country is literally getting ready to starve the poor, underemployed and disabled.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

HOPE🙏🏼🐸🙏🏼

If Republicans in Congress won't hold President Trump to account, then it is up to the American people. youtu.be/YV7IA_WUpz4 @perrybaconjr.bsky.social in conversation with @smith.senate.gov

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records. We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility. They’re disappearing people. No due process. No accountability.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

Lawrence O'Donnell Lays Out The Facts ! Chump and RepubliKKKans Are Starving Children.......

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

"No new wars" to whatever this is.

I work in accounting at a non-profit nursing home. Most of our residents are on Medicaid. They just brought up $175 in cash that they'd collected and asked if we could arrange to donate it to our local food bank. Yes. Yes, we can. And yes, now I'm crying at my desk.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

Laughing JD Vance brags about his Oval Office showdown with Zelensky: ‘Most famous thing I’ve ever done’ Vance has repeatedly spouted pro-Russian propaganda attacking aid for Ukraine. He's a Vatnik – a Kremlin tool. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

Good morning to everyone who won’t be spending their day rounding people up based on what they look like.

This is good trouble. GOD BLESS THIS CHURCH!

A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors. The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months. 700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

After 15,000 layoffs, Microsoft boss Nadella's pay climbs 22% to $96.5 million flip.it/kS.s0I

Worth remembering…

Take a listen to Congresswoman Becca Balint. She is incredibly frustrated and you can see the pain in her eyes. I honestly thought no American President would let people go hungry but, we are not dealing with normal times. This is pure evil.

One of the most absolutely insane things I’ve ever heard. Industrial food has no rules. Eat organic n veg.

"South Park" will have a special Halloween episode this week. Here's when and how to watch.

Under wider economic uncertainty, some analysts have said that businesses are at a “no hire, no fire” standstill. At the same time, some sizeable layoffs have piled up, raising worker anxieties across sectors.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Exactly.

I miss the old days when we would all agree that a drunken former Fox News host should not be allowed to unilaterally bomb boats in international waters. I miss the days when folks would agree that without proof, that is a war crime. 4 more boats bombed today. More than 50 people dead.

Nazis….

Genius

Four pillars of power helped the United States win the Cold War. The same pillars will almost certainly determine whether China or America wins today’s power competition—but instead of bolstering them, “Trump is bulldozing them,” @McFaul argues.

The Regime is now threatening Social Security and Medicare if the government shutdown doesn’t end. Reminder that Republicans have the power to end the shutdown at ANY TIME. They simply do not care to do so.

WATCH: “What job did you take to betray your constituents? Were you really soliciting business in your office (as @notus.com reported)?”🤔 We just finally caught up with Rep Mark Green, who resigned to chase 💰triggering a special election in TN-7. (paid for by the taxpayers)

What’s especially cruel about allowing SNAP to go unfunded, is that Moms aren’t going to know until they attempt to pay at the register for their children’s food and their card doesn’t work. The $ is there folks. Republicans are going to starve children for the Epstein files & their pedo leader.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common? They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

The most disturbing thing about SNAP ending on November 1st and healthcare premiums increasing is that there are many people it will affect who have no clue as to what's going on. These are the types who say: "I'm not into politics." Well, politics are definitely into YOU.🔥☕️

Hey U.S. military members: "I was only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg.

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is [email protected] and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.
