And they would drink it up.

Despite a government shutdown, Republicans will make sure Argentina gets their $20 billion.

Wes Moore: “A prerequisite to keeping the government open should not be cutting people off of healthcare. My message to President Trump is clear. Stop this shutdown. You’re the one causing it. We’re the ones dealing with it.”

Are we there yet? #resist #remove #NoKings #WeThePeople

What if Trump actually ran the whole thing and Epstein was just the front man? Grandpa Trump was a pimp in Canada, the nest egg for the Trump fortune. "Bulk of the cash flow came from the sale of sex," Blair wrote. She cited newspaper ads referring to prostitution. #Pinks www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social leads with courage for New Jersey. She’s in DC fighting to save healthcare for millions. Her opponent admits there’s nothing he disagrees with 47 on. That’s blind obedience, not leadership. New Jersey deserves a leader, not a dictator fan boy. #VoteNJ

GM and TY Ray! 💙

Johnson lies on live TV, repeating Trump's lies over and over while thinking that they will become facts, and that Americans are so gullible and stupid to believe his BS. He makes me vomit. 🤮

(2/3) It also just so happens not only that the only lawyer who signed (would sign!) the Comey indictment was … {checks notes again} … Halligan, but that the statute of limitations on the charges it purports to allege expired … {here's another handy note!} … at midnight last night.

The thing about Scarborough is that hes a coward. He WILL not say that to Johnson's face. Do we have ANYONE that will? Not in congress. Not in the media. So they lie. Why are we even worried?

How did I miss this?! His own brother believes #Epstein was murdered, and the forensics back it up. #tRump... release those files! (He won't, it's the only thing he's got a starring role in he can't brag about 🤮) ⚖️ . 🔒 him up! #ThisisOurFight

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

On hot button issues, a majority say children should be vaccinated; controlling gun violence is more important than gun rights; and Epstein files should be released, in a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Uphold your oath !

RSM: If the shutdown lasts into the BLS reference week (Oct 12-18), “furloughed workers would be counted as unemployed, which would send the unemployment rate higher, toward 4.5% to 4.7%.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

See the difference? 👀

It’s a bad look.

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

I'm unclear on why the *government* can't collect these unpaid wages from corporations following court decisions, just like they garnish the wages of individuals. Gov'ts can freeze and access corporate accounts. Could just freeze business accounts until they paid. www.thestar.com/news/canada/....

"'Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life ... Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.'" www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo...

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

He was just in the news a couple weeks ago again because he had another warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court date for yet another driving incident.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

Rep. David Schweikert has entered the race, and we’ve entered the chat to remind you just how corrupt this MAGA Republican is. [1/6]

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Wonder how many NRA members who prioritize “standing up to tyranny” were paying attention to today’s Presidential address of the generals

This is very, very bad.

Dear @apnews.com

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

How is this sustainable?

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears. My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

The reason for military rules of engagement and adhering to laws of armed combat is not “political correctness,” it’s better strategy, serves long-term national interest, and is a way to make an awful part of the human experience a little less awful, based on lessons learned from centuries of blood.
