Hobbs: He ran on lowering costs. He’s doing exactly the opposite. Whether it’s these insurance premiums that are going up, or the tariffs… It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on. And the Republicans in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed policies

Lowering the flag was once a relatively rare symbol of public mourning and respect. It has now “become a largely empty gesture, illegible to the broader public and ultimately ignored,” Justin Murphy argues:

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important … to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"

Experts were furious Monday at the Trump administration's latest move to slash most of the special education staff in the Department of Education.

President Donald Trump's signature tariff policy appears to have caused sales of a staple American spirit to collapse as trade relations between the U.S. and other countries deteriorate, according to a new report.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

"There is, however, one big difference between Trump’s trade policy and China’s. Namely, the Chinese appear to know what they’re doing."

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

While the war has been raging in Gaza, the right-wing Netanyahu government has been doing everything short of formal annexation to extend Israeli control over the West Bank—and it might well have done the formal annexation if Trump had not blocked it. wapo.st/3W5yhAx

A former President Barack Obama official slammed ICE agents, saying "they do not have the training or skillset" to conduct law enforcement operations in cities.

K-shaped cars: New vehicle prices top $50,000 while auto loan delinquencies keep rising

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Not a single Democrat voted in July for the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts within President Trump’s “big, beautiful” reconciliation bill. trib.al/aiMllmQ The only legislators who voted themselves tax cuts were Republicans—not a single Republican voted *against* the bill.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Jack Cocchiarella takes on JD Vance’s excruciating Sunday-show performance—from dodging questions about the $50,000 bribe to getting booted off the air by George Stephanopoulos.

U.S. supply chain faces another tariff headwind ahead of new port fees

Meloni looks like she wants off the planet during Trump's speech 😆

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles. DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

watch Meloni as Pakistan's Sharif fluffs Trump for next year's Nobel

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy. Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs. No Kings

The parents of a U.S. Marine in California were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month while en route to visit their pregnant daughter.

As the country careens into a succession of crises brought about by the hand of Trump, it’s semi-shocking to see Democrats resort to humor as a primary form of pushback. How far can it take them? The latest edition of The Opposition from @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/can-democr...

OPINION: Last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson said there would be no votes this week.

THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN A SAVAGE REBELLION AGAINST MODESTY. THE PRESIDENT MUST INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT IMMEDIATELY!! THANK YOU FOR AVERTING YOUR EYES FROM THIS MATTER buff.ly/iCcDTvD

President Trump called Portland a war zone last week, and now state Republicans are trying to deliver one—by sharing a photo of “South American riot police” in 2008 from Getty Images. trib.al/UoWffPr

Speaker Johnson: "People’s faith in the government is at an all time low" Republicans control all 3 branches of the government.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Jeffries: "If Republicans continue to refuse to extend the ACA tax credits, tens of millions of people are about to experience dramatically increased premiums ... including in the state represented by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, in his own district, I believe premiums may increase by about 380%."

You were president on Jan 6th, Puddin’ Brain.
