Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Burchett is Burchetting again.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Johnson: They go before cameras incredibly and just lie to the American people. Over and over. It's a stunning thing to watch

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

7 million Americans hit the streets on No Kings Day—and MAGA is spiraling. They’re calling it fake, photoshopping community notes, and lying through their teeth because they're scared as hell that so many people have the courage to stand up against fascism. endlessurgency.com/p/why-maga-c...

I am disgusted how mainstream media continues to prop up republicans like Rand Paul. They enabled this. They don’t have any answers or add value to our failing democracy. Speaking out on occasion is the very LEAST they could do. And it isn’t helping ANYTHING in the grand scheme of this shitshow.

The Dems are trying to save our healthcare. Even Trump knows it. It’s why he won’t even negotiate.

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history. The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular! So were the signs...

Warnock: We should all be deeply concerned about an American president. who stood in front of our military and said that the real concern is the enemy within They are trying to divide us so that they might rule us, but we join united with one voice

So no terrorism then?

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

🇬🇧🔥Ironically, LONDON is kicking off #NoKingsDay 💪🏽

On our way to #NoKings

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

The Supreme Court has set the December calendar. The big campaign finance case, NRSC v. FEC, will be heard on Tuesday, Dec. 9. I will be arguing for the Democratic Party Intervenors in defense of the law and against the GOP petition.

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace. Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed. These extremists are sick people.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

The "ceasefire" does not seem to be going great

I have read the Bolton indictment. I am thoroughly unimpressed by these allegations. If this manages to make it to trial and a conviction, DOJ just opened a Pandora’s Box for future Administrations to go all out after all senior officials’ handwritten notes every time there is a change in power.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California. California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in. The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight. They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.
