This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

FACTS. The GOP is in control. The GOP is more focused on feeding Trump's ego than serving the American people. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown exposes their true priorities: self-interest, seizing total power, and blind loyalty to Trump over the public good. social.demcast.com/s/kHMvpwCy

This isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of how far we’ve fallen. Streets, communities, and institutions that should protect us are failing, and it’s becoming painfully clear: this country is no longer the safe place it once claimed to be.

An FBI agent was just fired for refusing to participate in the arrest and perp walk of James Comey, but sure, we don't live under a fascist administration.

There is no lower form of life than the members of this admin.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Denmark's military intelligence reports that Russian naval forces have aimed weapons at Danish warships and helicopters, disrupted navigation systems in key maritime straits, and even sailed collision courses, all clear provocations.

Putting a living person on a coin was considered a curse in the Middle Ages. Now, we wait.

this morning I went into my kid's room to wake him up and he looked so beautiful and peaceful while sleeping, and I thought about ICE bursting into that apartment building in Chicago to drag kids out of their beds and ziptie them, and I felt my entire body clench with fury

reddit occupied government

This is Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. She'll be the final vote to release the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in. If you live in a red district, call your rep and tell them: SWEAR IN @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social NOW—RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.

Hey America, this is our "president"! If he gets any darker, he won't be allowed to vote! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😜

This showed-up from DonaldJTrump.com.... So presidential. 🙄Also, my name's not Dick...so...? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

FBI cuts ties with civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center reut.rs/4o1Jg9W

Because racism and antisemitism and hatred of LGBTQ and women is where it is at with these fuckers

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Honestly I'm tired of unnamed lawyers being upset that their firms capitulated, federal prosecutors concerned about the politicization of DOJ, and reporters dismayed that their media owners are capitulating to Trump. Either do something or accept that you watched democracy collapse and did nothing.

Imagine the stupidity of turning away much-needed talent because of skin color and/or country of origin and letting an adversary have all that talent instead. resist.bot/petitions/PQ... #Resistbot @resist.bot

Trump must be arrested and charged for murder in the case of dozens of civilians targeted and killed under his command in the Caribbean. The actions taken by the Navy under orders by Donald Trump are absolutely illegal and do constitute as murder.

There is no war in Portland. Medicaid pays only providers. Undocumented people are NOT on Medicaid. Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown. Republicans ARE enjoying harming others. ICE = Gestapo. FACTS.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

biting my lip to not snark "but did they control for the Benadryl" (yes this is a joke) (for the people who don't get it: the studies linking long-term Benadryl use and dementia risk didn't control for the insomnia/untreated MCAS participants were using it for)

I believe there is a very, very long list of people who need to be interrogated with this very question. Let's get going, shall we? The cover-up isn't going to reveal itself, for moon's-sake.

Trump’s #MassDeportation agenda just killed good-paying jobs for Tennessee. This is a company Gov. Bill Lee recruited! Are we great now, GUV? tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/02/e...

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

My mother called Speaker Johnson’s office this afternoon to talk about the shutdown and to tell them that her healthcare costs went up 125% as of this week — she was excited because a staffer answered; then they hung up on her.

MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

Half the population doesn't pay income taxes, because they are too young, old, or disabled to work for income to tax, or are unpaid workers taking care of those people.

So Qatar gets NATO Article 5 level protection, but Ukraine does not? This is raw corruption in action.

Reviewing my WWII lecture & this hits different this year: The US Holocaust museum argues that “what distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison... is that it functions outside of the judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” 🗃️

This does hit hard It is why using the word “internment camp” for Japanese-descended people in WWII is just a bad euphemism to cover the atrocity And it is yet another parallel from the fascism of Germany to the US today Due process is for EVERY PERSON in the United States without exception

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Move over, gender reveal parties, America's got a new craze: Was the shooter left-wing or right-wing?

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

The Trump Admin is using government websites and the emails of civil servants to promote blatantly partisan propaganda about the government shutdown. This is an intolerable abuse of power and a form of bureaucratic identity theft from federal workers.

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

“A lot of times, you know, babies don’t cough; they just stop breathing,” warned Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney as he discussed Mississippi's first infant death from whooping cough in 13 years.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.
