Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

- Undoc ppl can’t qualify for fed-funded health care - Doc ppl are eligible to *purchase* insurance but the admin is cutting who, like refugees & asylees, even more - Doc ppl have a 5yr wait for Medicaid - Dems want affordability & accessibility extended *for those who qualify.* THE GOP👏IS👏LYING👏

These Kavanaugh Stops keep seeming to be a lot more invasive than Kavanaugh tried to pretend they would be. The extent to which Justices just make up facts, history, psychology, etc etc etc to get the outcomes they want, and the legal community as a whole just shrugs is … legit appalling.

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Neguse: Trump can threaten all he wants, but House Democrats won’t be bullied. Republicans may have forgotten Congress is co-equal; we haven’t. We don’t work for Donald Trump. We work for the American people🔥 #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This is Starmer normalising departure from the ECHR—that’s not his argument, but his take will give Farage the space he needs to push that. Starmer would do well to remember what happened when Cameron normalised the idea of an EU referendum and gave Farage that space ... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Focusing on the ridiculous veneer is a mistake because the substance of Trump's speech was as serious as a heart attack. The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears. My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Generals getting lectured by a draft dodger and a drunk. Welcome to MAGAmerica.

I feel like the new rule of shutdowns is that the White House should also shut down. No press conferences. No White Christian Nationalist social media posts. No executive orders. Not a peep.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

Another humdinger from @colemanrogers.com Send this to your electeds! Use it as a phone script resist.bot/petitions/PY...

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Hannah Arendt said the erosion of empathy heralds fascism Shakespeare's King Lear learnt compassion in a storm: Take physic, pomp. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, And show the heavens more just. Tell your electeds to shed privilege resist.bot/petitions/PA...

Make Congress understand the human suffering caused by their planned cuts Their benefits and access to health care should match what they give to constituents resist.bot/petitions/PA...

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

The Trump Epstien government shutdown is brought to you by the spineless, perverted GOP.

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

October 18, 2025. Bring flowers. Sing songs. Flood the streets. Nonviolent resistance is the best path forward.
