Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

These two things are true: 1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal. 2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy. It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Where did the Epstein files end up?

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

The lies the lies the lies. We blow whistles to warn the WORKERS. Nary a criminal.

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

I mean…..

The US Supreme Court has acted like it's one of Kim Davis's many husbands and kicked the "Marriage is Sacred, Y'all!!!" hypocrite to the curb. Glory!

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Listen to the victims. Believe them. Release the files.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

FYI: Gutting SNAP benefits is outlined in Chapter 10 of Project 2025. Remember, this is all by design. ALL OF IT.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Is there such a thing as a Headless of State?

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

AOC: "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."

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Donald Trump is far too selfish a person to go to the trouble of building an enormous ballroom that won't be finished until his last, legal term is up if he weren't planning to use it in his next, illegal term.

How are we sending 10k troops to Venezuela without going through Congress? I’m sure he will blame the shutdown, but this can’t be legal…can it? We also sent troops to Gaza. share.newsbreak.com/fimo5q83?s=i16

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it. Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

What a fucking sick joke. It JUST so HAPPENS that the Israeli knesset approval the ceasefire now REQUIRES a 72-hour hold before going into effect. It JUST so HAPPENS that Fascist Felon Fraud is having his now bi-annual physical (medical procedure) FRIDAY, so can't go til Sun/Mon. He won't be ⛳️

Wow! Looking at Portland burning to the ground.

Hundreds of general officers making them walk off stage in total silence Is total allegiance to the Constitution and pure gold

Mike Johnson is delaying the certification of Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona’s special election last week. This move prevents Democrats from securing the final signature needed to force a House floor vote and release the Epstein files.

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

No words. YouTube Settles Trump Lawsuit for $24.5 Million www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

Shameful. I hope he wins his law suit and all of the ICE officers lose their jobs.

Bibi just announced that if Hamas doesn't agree to a 21-point plan (filled w non-starters), he's going to commit MASS Genocide w support of US. And the whole room clapped. That's right, fucking applauded. Media, we're watching you.

Trump says he’ll send federal troops to Portland, authorizes “full force” - OregonLive.com You would think the government shutting down would be a bigger priority, but no he wants to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong.

New in PN: The tragicomical indictment of James Comey "An indictment this short and detail-free isn’t illegal or inherently unethical. But it is downright weird, particularly in a blockbuster case indicting a former FBI director for lying to Congress."

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
