THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

This one is jaw-dropping. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) has a whole lot to explain to her constituents:

A warning for those in Mike Collins' (R-GA) district:

If you live in Rep. Brian Mast's (R-FL) district, buckle up. Your costs are about to skyrocket if Republicans don't extend the health care tax credits.

Here's what costs will look like for constituents of Chip Roy (R-TX):

Brutal. Constituents in Jim Jordan's (R-OH) district would have to fork up an additional $16,846 every year to keep their coverage.

A couple living in Rep. Mike Lawler's (R-NY) district earning $82,800 annually would see an increase in costs of $13,459 every year. 😬

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

BREAKING: Illinois Democrats demand Donald Trump immediately rescind inflammatory, unconstitutional order to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago.

Primary enemies of American Presidents. 👇

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period. We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to. Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

McLaughlin on Portland: "When do these leaders actually step in and get this chaos and violence out of control?"

BREAKING: Late last night, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deploying any out-of-state federalized National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. This is a win for the rule of law.

She would be an excellent senator!!

Showed a clip from a documentary about Korematsu this morning and managed not to yell back during the part where Justice Anthony Kennedy explains that presidents should never be granted unlimited powers or blindly trusted when they say it's an emergency situation.

It's literally astonishing this actually needs to be said in The United States of America. WTAF!?

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

No, sweetie. You and your crazy boss are untethered in reality.

Yeah cool. Pull even more federal agents off counterterrorism, child porn, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and fraud investigations to do absolutely nothing.

"Washington, DC is now a safe place. You're not going to get mugged or hit. You're not going to get raped. You're not going to get anything." - Trump, 10/5/2025 source: showcrime.com/washington-d...

Chills…

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Shocking picture of war-ravaged Portland.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was just announced: www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medic... This seems like a good opportunity for me to explain a bit about peripheral immune tolerance and where the prizewinners' work comes in 🧵

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.
