Shutting down the government won’t stop us from demanding the truth. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Good news: “Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard.”

This run-down, the headline, the visual, the description are all pretty good.

'This president is off. He is unhinged and clearly double-minded and unstable," says Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Trump.

I think President Trump is brave to shut down the government instead of releasing the Epstein files

Here’s what’s behind it.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

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.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

Everyone's talking about how Congress went home - the GOP ended any chance to keep the government funded. Let's talk about what civil servants are doing: working, steadily, til midnight. Like they're getting ready to abandon the ship of state: packing boxes, prepping lifeboats, fastening hatches. 1/

“You kill people and break things for a living. You are not politically correct,” boasted the ambitious sociopath.

“You had, largely, a cartel working behind closed doors.” --White House budget director Russell Vought criticizing previous administrations, after masterminding the most corrupt, least transparent, unaccountable government in American history, the Trump GOP Cartel

Unhinged, unstable, vengeful, evil, egregious, savage. The Black lady warned us and she was right. Trump should’ve been sentenced to prison in 2024…but here we are. #Pinks #SheShed

100%

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

"no more superficial individual expression"

AOC: And when Republicans use a legislative mechanism to gut the American health care system, we have to use a legislative mechanism in order to restore it and to fight for it.

Last gasp of white supremacy did this

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that Trump loyalist Sigal Chattah has been unlawfully serving as Nevada’s U.S. Attorney since July. Chattah and her office are now barred from prosecuting cases — the second Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney disqualified within 2 months after Alina Habba in NJ.

Of course Fetterman voted with his fellow Republicans.

ProPublica identified a network of at least 10 political nonprofits that raised more than $33M on the promise of supporting admirable causes, but that spent little on activities that could be construed as having a political purpose. (Published June 2024)

"The most striking thing was how little the president and his allies were bothering to hide what they were up to." Trump heard "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up" and took it seriously and literally.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%

AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Economic, labor and immigration experts told PBS News that while the H-1B program may need an overhaul, President Donald Trump’s broad approach could hamper innovation and ultimately economic growth. https://to.pbs.org/4gZnj9h

Rep. Greg Casar: “There are more mentions of Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.” #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

It’s so pathetically predicable. “Democrats did __________ because of illegals.” They think the American people are dumb. They aren’t.

Republicans Ran Away House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working to cut Healthcare costs for Americans. House Republicans ran away. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

After today’s batshit Trump speech at Quantico, Rep. @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co tells me he believes Trump is making moves toward an attempt to scrap elections in ‘28. youtu.be/bqKEDtVHYZY

Republicans just shut down the government to rip away healthcare and hand Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab. Instead of negotiating a budget that protects families, Republicans chose to throw working families under the bus. This is the GOP’s shutdown & they own the damage from it.

"Republicans fail to get the 60 votes needed to pass their continuing resolution and keep the government open" Fixed it for you. That's how you wrote the headlines in previous years when Republicans successfully filibustered Democratic bills.

Cook County

New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.

Another angle shows them roughing up various members of Congress

@maddow.msnbc.com just showed some truly insane body cam footage that shows that the orders to arrest the Newark major for doing nothing came from the Deputy AG-told to cuff him in front of press.

Your regular reminder that residents of Puerto Rico are American citizens. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp and yet...

Someone is leaking key parts of the FBI's pipe bomb investigation, things that if authentic are big. Have long suspected the RNC bomb was placed or at least moved on Jan 6. It was in too prominent a place to be overlooked, then found at too convenient a time (or rather, just minutes too early). 1/

Looks like he got played by one of his cabinet folks from Portland. I guess she stoked the fire with old footage from 2020 and crazy rhetoric about violent Portland.

I think we’re going to see a lot of craziness pushed through at a breakneck pace, as the factions & sycophants with their own agendas take advantage of Trump’s rapid mental decline. If they can tie Trump to these disastrous things, they may be able to hold his base.

Rumor has it that krasnov made the Portland move based on footage from 2020! Hold on! It gets better. Seems a defeated former congressperson, who now is in cabinet, & is full of grievance for #Portland. She fed him the footage and painted the picture! Lori Chavez-DeRemer is her name! Share it!😤

Appeasing Trump doesn’t work

Did you watch Maddow tonight? CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE the videos of the manhandling of the mayor & congresswoman? All of them need to be put in jail. Especially the deputy attorney general who ordered it. WITH MILITARY WEAPONS.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
