Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

The “Russia hoax” is now their template. Every past investigation becomes a “deep-state plot,” so no future one can be trusted. This is how authoritarian movements rewrite history to protect power instead of truth.

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

Wow, you mean another one of Trump “peace deals”, in this case Gaza, lacked any specifics on how to actually implement a lasting peace? I’m shocked! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. 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.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

No Kings, No Kings, No Kings

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

Criminals protect their own.

For nearly 60 years, the Voting Rights Act has been our nation’s most powerful tool to ensure everyone, especially communities of color, has an equal say in shaping the decisions that affect their lives – from the cost of groceries to access to health care. wedefendthevote.org/defend-the-v...

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This is truly outrageous. They cut funding to help children with brain cancer, and now enrollment in clinical trials has been halted. First time ever a president has given up on beating cancer. Awful. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

I missed the part where Democrats said they wanted to send US troops into Russia. And why is it necessary for him to always debate fictitious Democratic positions that he invents in his twisted brain rather than actual ones? Too tough to argue against the real ones?

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Oops

Complete malpractice that will lead to countless preventable American deaths. Absolutely horrifying. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/h...

Berman: Was the President right about the polling? Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

Right now, thousands of public servants at the Departments of Health & Human Services and Education — and across the government — are receiving RIF notices that threaten not only their livelihoods, but also the ability of the federal government to serve the American people effectively and equitably.

Nothing like dismantling the Department of Education to scream that you’re at war with critical thinking.

Virginians’ decisions to start or grow a family should be between themselves and their doctor. As Governor, I’ll protect a woman’s right to make their own healthcare decisions — including access to IVF, contraception, and the right to choose.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

Growing up the daughter of a newspaperman, I know the importance of public media and a free press. Public broadcasting provides nearly 99% of Americans with lifesaving emergency updates and important local journalism. This attempt to defund public broadcasting is wrong.

A few days ago, Kristi Noem was bragging about stealing money from FEMA to fund Alligator Alcatraz

Garcia: That “no tax on tips”—those actually expire in a couple of years. So it just goes to show you: this is all about games. Billionaires get a permanent tax cut, and the “no tax on tips”—which, by the way, is very limited in scope—expires in a couple of years.

“Lawmakers on the ground were just blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called ‘safety concerns’...Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. Full statement ⤵️ www.floridadems.org/2025/07/03/f...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Mike Lawler just voted to cut Medicaid benefits for millions of people. Here’s some of his tweets promising not to do that.

I grew up with rich dicks for parents. Not the same kinda rich like the ones trying to turn society into a cesspool, but narcissistic rich pricks nonetheless. ANYHOO, I feel like there should be a cap on wealth. Anything over the cap should go back to the same society they sucked their wealth from.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

And she literally sold out everyone else out for a price. Personal Exemption Didn’t Work Out. Too Bad! And she got caught doing it!

The Supreme Court's decision on Friday hamstrings the ability of federal courts to block unconstitutional policies from the Trump Administration and only fuels further chaos and confusion.

Republicans are jamming an insane and destructive bill down the throats of the American people in the dead of night. It’s the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. The massive tax breaks for billionaires will add trillions to our national debt. Keep the pressure on.

🚨 The Supreme Court’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor undermines public education by allowing parents to exempt their children from lessons based on religious beliefs. This paves the way for religious interference in the classroom and threatens secular education.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.
