And ... scene.

Good news: “Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard.”

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

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

BASH: Are you okay w/ the military using American cities as 'training grounds'? JOHNSON: I don't know what's being implied by that B: It suggests troops are going to be in cities & use them military training J: That's been very beneficial for the Guard B: So it's ok? J: It's a win-win scenario

Priorities.

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

So proud of my brilliant Sis @barbmcquade.bsky.social

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

As long as I am a member of the United States Congress, I will NOT fund authoritarianism. I will NOT support Fascism. And I will NOT vote for a continuing resolution that steals from American families.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

GOLDBERG: One of the things I've heard you talk about is making the city affordable and that you're gonna put a tax on people who make over a million bucks MAMDANI: With an exception for Joy

OMB Director Russ Vought says the Trump administration is withholding $18 billion in funds appropriated for NYC infrastructure projects. He claims it’s being withheld out of concerns the money will be used based on “unconstitutional DEI principles.”

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

The Corrupt Supreme Court Must Be Reformed: Dems Must Champion It talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...

When Trump refused to send the National Guard on Jan 6, 2021 to stop rioters who stormed the Capitol, wounded 140 officers, and tried to block the transfer of power, he set his standard. Anything LESS than those bloody insurrectionary riots won’t trigger Guard deployment. Right?

Jeffries: "It's a disgusting video and we're gonna continue to make clear -- bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault."

Netanyahu should be arrested at the White House, He is a WAR CRIMINAL. djtramp could stop the war in a snap, no more weapons, no more $$$ to Israel, period. END THE STARVATION & KILLINGS IN GAZA!

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

The most corrupt administration and extended first family in US history.

Tylenol causes Epstein amnesia.

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

The story the RW accounts on X are going with about why the Dallas shooter killed immigrant detainees rather than ICE officials or other law enforcement personnel is that he was “a bad shot.” Here’s Laura Loomer leading the way:

Ed Martin’s intimidation tactics against FBI agent who responded to Sandy Hook is too much even for Todd Blanche. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Breaking: Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has resigned after porn allegations. Walters is the guy who directed public schools to incorporate the Christian Bible and Ten Commandments into instruction, which triggered lawsuits over church–state separation.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: How can Democrats negotiate with Trump, the 'world's most powerful man-baby'? youtu.be/bNeLJwFbFMU?...

A statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands in D.C. is removed as fast as it appeared 🤣🤣🤣 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Kimmel: “This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

On the ICE shooting. 1. It's terrible. 2. Too many disturbed people have access to too many guns in this country. 3. Too many political figures use incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric. By far the most significant of them is the president. The fish of political violence rots from the head down.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Trump, speaking at the White House, just threatened "the left" with what will happen if what he characterizes as a much tougher "right" gets activated by violence from the left.
