The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Did I miss any updates on the investigation into the motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer? It feels like that just disappeared as a story, which is strange considering his exaltation within GOP and making his murder into a national event. I’d think we’d be getting hearing about it frequently

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Fondly remembering when "violent" meant "actually violent," not "making simple truthful observations that pierce my hyperbolic obfuscation of basic factual reality."

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Straight-up racial profiling.

"Courage is resistance to fear."

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Throughout WA’s history, Hispanic pioneers, entrepreneurs, and activists have made us stronger. Hispanics are 13.5% of WA’s workers, including some of our top business leaders, judges, politicians, and athletes. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate their contributions to our country.

What are they hiding?

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

The constant lies to steal power and money . . .

If you have to resort to "there is no objective truth, only competing narratives," you're doing postmodern philosophy, not journalism.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

This is assault.

Architecture and urban design are common fixations for strongmen. People keep posting Hitler’s Germania, but lots of more contemporary examples exist, like Orbán’s projects in Budapest. Here’s an essay I wrote on this for @liberalcurrents.com last year www.liberalcurrents.com/magic-kingdo...

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Attacking an imaginary enemy is easy and inexpensive

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Did you know American farmers made more money with fewer subsidies under the Biden administration? My interview with Dr. Chris Jones -- catch up on farm policies and what we should be doing to preserve our food and farm markets. One word: diversification. jesspiper.substack.com/p/soybeans-a...

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Post this everywhere‼️ -and- RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The Republican shutdown continues.

So they're just going to trust Republicans. Didn't they also promise a vote to fund DC after the Big Ugly Bill stripped $1.1B in funding to the District? How did that go?

The America we used to live in—the America we want to think we live in—is gone. We’ll have to build again.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

This happened twice, I believe. Messed up.

This is why Trump & Republicans went into the shutdown so confident. They banked on the Democratic Party’s weak reputation and assumed they would cave. Well that’s not happening. Democrats are on the right side of the healthcare fight, and rank-and-file Dems want this battle because it’s worth it.

People keep saying “feudalism,” but it actually just company towns.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

“Who” is, objectively, the funniest possible response here

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

A reminder on the 8th day of this Republican shutdown: Speaker Johnson could call Members back to negotiate to re-open the government any time he wants. He's choosing not to. Republicans would rather raise costs and kick millions of Americans off their health care.

Biden was boring (normal, decent, patriotic), so all "journalists" had to work with was his age. All the while he was working economic and diplomatic miracles, which did not please the oligarchs, and the public was left in the dark. I think there used to be a slogan...

This is a reply in reference to zip ties.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Democrats should not hold another vote on anything until she is sworn in.
