Trump administration lays off dozens of CDC officials, NYT reports reut.rs/4mVmDDb

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

This should not be happening in America!🤬 @apnews.com @whitehouse.senate.gov @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @abcnews4.com @msnbc.com @cnn-brasil.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @repchrispappas.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

He is at least consistent, anyone can buy him, he has absolutely no other principle than enriching and glorifying himself and will say and do anything to achieve that

Every day it gets more unbelievable. 25th amendment please.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

Chicago ICE raids, National Guard troops prompt new school leaflets: ‘Know your rights’ - www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

You can steal an election but you can't steal a Nobel Peace Prize.

So the Nobel Peace Prize was given to someone who fights authoritarianism and was not given to an actual authoritarian. Makes sense to me.

Another crisis for farmers, created by Trump!

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

www.reuters.com/legal/govern... Increased presence of federal agents has produced a range of responses from educators - from street protests to 'know your rights' leaflets and lesson plans. Students are advised that they have the right to remain silent and to ask for a lawyer…

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Trump is deranged, but we see this every day.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Trump is claiming no inflation. He knows that, unlike him, we actually do our own shopping and know that’s bullshit, right?

Fuck this. This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

The people on top want working people to fight with one another because it keeps eyes off them and how they're making off with your money.

This is a reminder that you do not have the same 24 hours in a day as the ultra-wealthy, because they can outsource the kinds of tasks working people need to do on their day to day to get by. This is also a reminder we need to tax 👏 the 👏 rich 👏 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/b...

At the height of the pandemic in 2020, the wealth of the world’s billionaires grew 54%. That's not a design flaw of our system. It's the system working as it is currently intended to. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/oc...

Republicans control every branch in Washington. Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on. His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either. My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

fwiw, Alito said this yesterday:

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Great guide to what’s on the ballot in November - including three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court up for retention

Remember when our President sang to us? In times of joy and sorrow. Such a great leader. A President for ALL Americans m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7x4...
