UN: “Kids dying of starvation… what we give them is a peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring that in because it’s a luxury.” AMANPOUR: “Seriously?”

Maybe guns should be harder to get, and mental health treatment should be easier to get, in today's America. Kind of the opposite of what the Trump administration and the Republican Party want.

Hilary Clinton, "In too many countries, including, sadly, right here in the United States, democracy is under siege" "And let’s be clear: no knight in shining armour is coming to save democracy. It’s on all of us to save our countries and our rights"

Damn, to think that we could’ve had this brilliant woman as our President instead of the burnt circus peanut. Audience member, “you would’ve walked up those stairs. You would’ve walked up that escalator, girl.” Kamala, “ In my HEELS!” You have to love her sense of humor. 💥🔥💥

Not a hard choice on which side to support: protect healthcare and working people or side with mass permanent layoffs.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

It’s true ACA funding expires on the last day of 2025. But this isn’t an on/off switch you can play with in late December. Insurers are filing premiums in the coming weeks, open enrollment begins Nov 1 and any action after that gets messy (at best). MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

I talked this week with Chris Hayes and Anand Giradahadras, highlight was Chris mentioning No Kings protests on October 18th. Free speech is action not spectacle. Please join in. www.nokings.org

BREAKING: Multiple victims have been injured following a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, according to police.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Boycotts must become a foundation of the resistance. We need to withdraw our dollars not just from specific companies (Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Disney, Meta, Tesla, etc) but from corporate consumer capitalism more broadly. Thrift, shop local & from small online retailers, repair and grow things…

Reminder that Trump campaigned on sending troops into American cities to take out "the enemy from within." Something to consider next time a pundit tells you the election was really about inflation.

Portland Is Taking Steps To Revoke an ICE Facility’s Land Use Permit City officials say they’ve uncovered 25 prolonged detentions in violation of its land use permit, which could provide an opening to shut down Oregon’s only ICE facility.

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.” A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

“WE MAKE, THEY TAKE” From @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — 50 billboards across 8 states are driving home the message that working Americans (teachers, nurses, etc) keep 🇺🇸 running, but billionaires keep taking more & more. Share if you agree. More: perfectunion.us/wemaketheyta...

They got what they wanted. Kamala Harris lost the election, and Trump is president. So, what do these protesters want now, and why aren’t they protesting Donald Trump? “I’m not president right now. There’s nothing I can do.” - Kamala Harris (private citizen)

Gavin Newsom is correct. Trump and Stephen Miller are quintessential fascists.

Our campaign is powered by people like YOU knocking doors, making calls, and connecting with neighbors about why #YesonCA50 matters. Here is a glimpse of today! We’re out every weekend and throughout the week, and we’d love to see you there. Let’s win this together! 👉cadem.org/castrong.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

WATCH THIS: Trump’s America is a police state in real time. ICE thugs just brutalized a 79-year-old citizen—threw him down like trash. Now they’re facing a $50 MILLION lawsuit. This is how democracies collapse—one assault at a time.

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

Border Patrol agent talks about how he knows that the people he's arresting at this nutrition bar factory in NY are "literal street rats" who would "eat our kids"

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Trump sending troops to Portland — “This isn’t about holding violent organizations accountable. This is about inciting violence and chaos so he can continue to consolidate power.”

Late night Gavin C. Newsom is hilarious lol

Jessica slapped these idiots upside the head with the truth about Comey, and Jesse Waters hated every minute of it. Boot-licker Lindsay Halligan will too. The lady deserves a medal.🥇

Mornin, @thehill.com

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare.

Adelita Grijalva should get sworn in Tuesday. Republicans swore in 2 of their Florida members right away. But the government is about to shut down and leadership is more concerned with blocking Massie & my vote to release the Epstein files. What are they hiding?

Congratulations, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social!

MAGA is working to steal congressional seats in TX & other GOP states. (So this natl nightmare can continue??? No thanks!) That’s why California is fighting back w Prop 50. Vote yes to counter Trump’s stealing of seats & give Americans a fighting chance for fair representation in Congress #YesOn50

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Vote yes on 50 to save democracy, CA! Volunteer from any state to help California save all 50 states from Trump's massive power grab.(Voters won't see your number or name-we use a dialer app) Stopelectionrigging.com to volunteer or donate. If not you, who?

AOC - Vote Yes on Prop 50.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

Gov. Gavin Newsom just dropped a new video for Yes on Prop 50 —

Yes. Demand it every day. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Jeffries: "Here's what DHS has done. DHS put out a hit list directed at Democratic members of Congress, Dem governors, and Dem officials. It's a hit list saying to crazies all across the country 'target these people.' So no, we're not gonna be lectured by DHS. Take your hit list down."
