Yes, I know that I pay taxes into the national treasury. That’s the deal to live in a society with a functioning govt. But this is the first time I’ve fully acknowledged my money is helping fund Trump’s abuse & destruction. It’s a reason to dissent loudly. www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-w...

Rep. Ro Khanna: “Our push to release the Epstein files helped strip Prince Andrew of his title. Now it’s time to hold powerful Americans who covered up or abused young girls accountable. The survivors have waited long enough. Congress must vote—justice can’t wait.”

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Jan 6 remains a center around which our politics revolves. Trump helps those who helped him try to seize power. Santos was sentenced to over 7 years in prison for wire fraud and identity theft. Today Trump freed him. Ed Martin says he was "honored" to help "make clemency great again". 3/

New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid. Who thinks that sounds good? ✋

Those Epstein files must be bad. #KY04

Your daily reminder that while military families are standing in food lines, the president is gilding the inside of the Whitehouse in gold.

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient. To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

ICYMI — @gallego.senate.gov : "The only reason Adelita Grijalva is not being sworn in right now is because he wants to protect whatever is in those files. Arizona does not have a congresswoman right now, during flooding, because Speaker Johnson is covering for pedophiles."

Trump has pardoned pedophiles, cop-beaters, woman-beaters and George Santos. That doesn’t include the pardons he sold. But tell me more about how we need the military to stop crime.

Is anyone keeping track of cost of Trump's pardons in lost fines and restitution payments? Santos "will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

George Wallace on the 1963 civil rights March on Washington: It’s all a bunch of communists trying to destroy America. Mike Johnson on the 2025 No Kings rally: It’s all a bunch of marxists/socialists/Antifa trying to destroy America. The GOP playbook: Same as it ever was

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Trump commuting Santos is not just a curiosity. It’s a feature of corruption… it’s a message… if you like me you can get away with anything. If we accept this as ok our kids will never forgive us

Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

I concur.

I don't watch Fox, so I have no idea if they ran a segment on Don Lemon appearing on The Left Hook, saying people of color in Chicago should consider legally & peacefully exercising their 2nd Amendment Right to own arms. Jesse Watters' show reached out to me for comment. This is how I replied:

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

@michael-feinberg.bsky.social: "I have never seen—in my roughly 17 years with the U.S. government—a Justice Department which operates this way....They are not working on behalf of the country—they are solely functioning as President Trump's personal lawyers and personal investigators."

@michael-feinberg.bsky.social: "These individuals all took an oath to uphold the Constitution. The very point of an oath is you follow it regardless of the personal consequences. If you're not willing to make those sacrifices, you should not be raising your right hand and reciting the oath."

this is truly invaluable reporting

Thank you Vic 💫☺️👊 ICE ARE Domestic Terrorists! Nokings.org On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. Find a location near you👊

I'm a supporter of @npr.org & it's heartbreaking to learn that Susan Stamberg (1st U.S. woman to anchor nightly national news programs) has passed RIP Susan Stamberg 😢🙏🪦😇 www.npr.org/2025/10/16/1...

“The actions taken by some of those federal agents clearly violated the Constitution,” the judge said... “Individuals are allowed to protest. They are allowed to speak... it is a bedrock right that upholds our democracy.

Good observation for the “pivot to health care” people to consider.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"
