The OBBB cuts $137billion from rural areas. And Sen Marshall voted for that. A higher percentage of rural people are on Medicaid so a higher percentage will lose coverage, become uninsured.

Fuck. This. Guy. Sideways.

"From the folks that brought you 9/11.… The same guy that's gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a f***ing suitcase. But don't let that stop the yucks, it's gonna be a good time!" www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

The FCC’s plan to strip students of internet access is cruel, shortsighted, and targets the most vulnerable. We must work together to close the Homework Gap—not widen it. I’m leading a letter with my colleagues urging the FCC to not tear internet away from students and educators.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruled that the Trump administration broke the law when it blocked three categories of grants overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the GAO, FEMA’s decision violated the Impoundment Control Act (ICA), which

They have to have the technology to hide it. "Riyadh has yet to fire up its first nuclear reactor, which allows its program to still be monitored under the Small Quantities Protocol (SQP), an agreement with the IAEA that exempts less advanced states from many reporting obligations and inspections."

"They have SLAVES for fucks sake!!!"

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

Meiselas: One question I have is why do we even have a funding issue? If Trump brought in $17 trillion, why is there even an issue with funding? If we brought in $17 trillion, shouldn’t Trump just be making it rain on everybody and there’s so much money to go—oh, wait a minute.

"Immigrants with no criminal record are now the largest group in US immigration detention."

GOV. PRITZKER: “.. Our small businesses suffer when our residents .. are made to feel unsafe by the jackbooted thugs roaming around a peaceful downtown. Parents are now scared to send their kids to school .. This is no way to live,” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

BREAKING: The White House claimed the FBI deep state targeted Homan in the $50K bag-o-cash bribe for government contracts, but it was actually a fellow ICE colleague that steered undercover agents to Homan. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

So exhausting..

Racist fascists.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

That's sad. #SupportYourPublicLibrary

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Your daily reminder: ICE is fascist. #Authoritarian

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files. He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

While the preamble is full of propaganda & hyperbole, the White House does go on to provide a list of Democrats that are calling things out for what they are...a list of officials you may wish to contact with messages of support. How thoughtful of the White House to organize a helpful action plan!

Read my statement on President Trump’s decision to send U.S. troops to Portland.

🤔 This *might* have the desired effect if fedLE is identified wearing a mask and can be arrested *off duty* (e.g., at their home).

NLG is receiving more and more verified reports of federal agent door-knocks and contacts. If you are approached by federal law enforcement, don’t be afraid to alert your community!

Whether it’s TikTok or Jimmy Kimmel, Trump and his wealthy allies want to decide what you watch. Unfortunately for MAGA, no algorithm can stop millions of Americans from taking to the streets for the single largest day of peaceful protest in US history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

ICE is authoritarian. #GeneralStrike

Trump's Portland 'war' zone is really one driveway in front of an ICE facility that has been the site of violent frederal overreation for months: share.google/bhVYxRssA5qj...

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Nuclear Inc. uses the term "proliferation resistant" like Tobacco Inc. uses "low tar."

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Trump's administration claims they're arresting criminals, yet they’ve detained US citizens. Illinoisans deserve to know why the federal government is spending their money to promulgate a fear campaign instead of supporting public safety efforts.

🧑‍🌾 ICYMI — “When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing Trump’s ass for these trade deals?” A MISSOURI FARMER to repmarkalford (R) about Trump’s policies raising prices and crushing farmers. (H/T @corybooker )

🚨 MSF FORCED TO SUSPEND ACTIVITIES IN GAZA CITY 🚨 Our clinics are now encircled by Israeli forces. There are continued airstrikes & tanks advancing closer & closer to our healthcare facilities. This is an intolerable level of risk for our @msf.ca staff. I am outraged, and you should be, too.

The group, in part, called on Francis Howell officials to investigate the matter and implement "long-overdue" anti-racism education, training and "accountability measures."
