Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing. They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused. Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours. It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

Hey, Vance, Repubs don't care how much we pay for health insurance, or if our rural hospital has to close. So they are forcing a shutdown. I corrected your statement

This govt. shutdown is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans & throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can’t allow that to happen. ☎️ 202-224-3121. NO to #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Reposting again because it's that good. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do. Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown. Those are his words😉 #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown #SheShed

🚨🚨🚨 This country has quickly lost control; states rights are no more. PLEASE listen to Governor Pritzker and know that what is happening in CA, IL, NY, OR, etc., will be in your city/state sooner than you think. 1/2

Thousands of new jobs. Medicaid expansion. Medical debt relief. Improved public education. Revitalized rural communities. These are just a few of Roy Cooper's accomplishments for North Carolina. Imagine what he can do in the U.S. Senate. Elect Democrat Roy Cooper U.S. Senate, North Carolina

NO KINGS Pendleton, Oregon Saturday, October 18

Masked ICE agents slammed a 79-year-old U.S. citizen to the ground during a raid at his Van Nuys car wash. Now he’s suing DHS for $50 million.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Sigh. iCE downtown in Chicago looking like the army

NO KINGS DAY PROTEST Rockwall, Texas Saturday, October 18

Perfect. John Fugelsang is my hero.

Dems should commit to impeach Bondi and refer to bar for disbarment.

The Northwest Side Rapid Response network reported ICE at Home Depot at Armitage and Cicero. They are also describing a new ICE tactic of using Mexican flags on their car hood. I have seen a few different posts describing ICE cars with Mexican flags.

ICE vehicle with "Fuck ICE" bumper sticker, leaving the gate at Broadview detention facility. They're luring people with a false sense of security. Don't fall for it. Stay vigilant and warn your neighbors.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Chicago! Get the word out. Oct 18th, NO KINGS Protest/March. Butler Field at Grant Park, East Jackson Drive & South Columbus Drive. We spread the word yesterday! @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @indivisiblels.bsky.social @indivchisouth.bsky.social @indivisiblewestsidela.com

I remember Trump using the word “evil” to describe the opposition numerous times over the past months.

goddamn this is good

They may have taken the statue down, but the internet is forever. And we are not distracted. ☺️🐈‍⬛ #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

He really didn't want people to see this so he had it taken down. He probably doesn't want to see photos like this flooding social media either. So it goes....

I know y'all know how important courts are in this fight against fascism. That's why Repubs are trying to defeat our three Democratic justices in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Vote to retain: ☑️Kevin M. Dougherty ☑️Christine Donohue ☑️David N. Wecht Vote Blue for these democracy defenders!

When this regime is finally over, because it will be one day in the near future, there will be hell to pay for all the folks that propped this cretin up on a high stool. The fall from grace will be painful for us all but necessary for the survival of the United States. Traitors.

They have no bottom to their outrageous actions

AZ - heads up! Vote today!

An escalator that stops working is called a flight of stairs. 🤦‍♂️

Occam's Razor here is that the 450 were at Fort Bliss (which showed that message in the detainee locator for a while) and the 800 voluntarily departed or were subject to expedited removal (don't need a final order)

Today it's Tylenol, tomorrow it's something else. Everything to distract. We will not be distracted: Release the Epstein Files already!!!

Trump and Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress, any shut down will be due to their failure of leadership.

New in PN: Trump posts his Watergate tapes "People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.
