I want to wake up tomorrow smiling.

This unconstitutional action is more proof that Donald Trump and Republicans are more interested in petty political retribution than lowering health care costs for Americans.

I have been very critical of @schumer.senate.gov, but credit where credit is due. Hopeful evidence that pushing our leaders to follow the will of the people can work in certain instances.

When asked about racially segregated NJ schools, MAGA Jack Ciattarelli implies it’s only an issue “if schools with predominantly Black student populations were outperforming schools with predominantly white populations.” The quiet part, on camera, into a microphone, loudly & deliberately:

Just gonna leave this right here

Reporter: “How important do you think Black & Hispanic voters are to you winning your campaign?” Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate for Governor of one of the most diverse states in the nation: “Next question.”

Jack Ciattarelli wants to be governor of parts of New Jersey

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store. The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

This is overseer, Jim Crow, KKK energy. America, these mediocre white men are not serving you. They are unaccomplished. They are uneducated. They are brutes who choose cruelty because they have no talents to make life better for themselves nor for the rest of us. How ugly. How monstrous. Enough.

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true-- ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

“The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don't want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.” - AOC

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇

Reuters: SECOND US APPEALS COURT REJECTS TRUMP'S ORDER CURTAILING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Mantra: release the files, release the files, release the damned files...

“Apathy is a privilege that I never want to have.” I don’t have children and I gladly pay taxes to support local schools. Why? An educated community serves us all. And this mindset is true for so many public services that may not directly serve me. We belong to each other, people. Act like it.

Listen… Same.

Gun deaths are the number one cause of childhood deaths. Guns are stupid. Republicans are stupid. Say it plainly.

@democrats.org, you need to control the story, not the Republicans. Go on offense. Make Mike Johnson defend why he’s protecting pedophiles. cc @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @balint.house.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social

Dems- don't engage "you want healthcare for undocumented immigrants." Reply with "The shutdown is for one reason only- to hide the Epstein evidence that is so damaging to the White House." Every interview, every comment, every time. Learn how to win in the court of public opinion one goddam time.

We can be a decent people. Trump and his fascist cult cannot. They are addicted to cruelty. I wish this weren’t so. People of conscience, we must be louder and bigger and and take up more space. Be fierce. We belong to each other.

Trump doesn’t need a $1 coin with his face on it to feel loved. He needs a psychiatrist to deal with his raging narcissistic personality disorder. WTF is this nonsense?!

A judge approved class certification Thursday for more than 60,000 immigrants with temporary protected status who claim that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s recent orders ending the program were unlawful and motivated by racial animus. @mhattridge.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/judge-oks-na...

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Democrats need to commit to removing the police powers from ICE. It should be reimagined as an agency where its employees wear suits and badges and have to treat people with dignity and respect. And its entire current workforce should be fired, if only for symbolic reasons.

Making the largest cut to Medicaid in history wasn’t enough. Now, Republicans are working to end ACA tax credits that help working class families afford quality healthcare, ensuring skyrocketing costs. They shut down the government over it.

The art of the cave. 🙄

Guys, the Portland Police Bureau is ANTIFA now. I bet they feel really cool about siding with right wing agitators for the last 8 years +

Q: You just said this is an unenviable choice, this is an unfortunate consequences. But the president posted a video likening Vought to the grim reaper. So which is it? LEAVITT: Look, the president likes to have a little fun every now and then and I think both things can be true

It feels like yesterday and also like it’s been years. We loved our work and what we stood for. Even if we come back from this, it will take years or decades to build the trust again.

Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Should we really believe a word he says about the government shutdown?

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

🏆 Well done, Jimmy! #Memphis #Tennessee #StephenMiller #DonaldTrump #SchoolOfRock

ICE is now targeting Black Americans. It was never about immigration. It was always about racism and control.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

A bronze-colored statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein holding hands and kicking up their legs in apparent merriment has returned to the National Mall, a week after the National Park Service removed it. Here's what to know. nyti.ms/48fvUlU

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

We're not asking for the moon here. We’re trying to help Americans pay for their health insurance.

ICE was always detaining Black people. Black immigrants are some of the most deported

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

An assault upon a residential apartment complex in Chicago, with ICE and other federal officials brazenly violating the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens, is something that should alarm us all. But it’s also part of a pattern that we already know how to resist. My write-up in the replies.

There are many evidence-based crime fighting strategies with bipartisan support among policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and justice reform advocates. Deploying the military isn’t one of them. bit.ly/4neYVD1

“Show me your papers!” Sadly, the lives of white people won’t be impacted and so many of them will say “So what? If you have nothing to hide…”

@democrats.org, YOU must become the spectacle and steal Trump’s attention thunder. And I know this is hard as he ramps up violence and cruelty as we saw in Chicago. We must stop being reactive and become the main act. This is, unfortunately, what our culture currently demands.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Trump relishes being a heartless bastard. Let’s squash his joy. Democrats should host an Epstein marathon at the Capitol until Republicans concede and Congress passes a budget that fully restores Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid funding AND sees a release of the unredacted Epstein files.
