Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments?

Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump’s trade nominee won’t even say the word “Argentina.”

Why? Maybe because Trump doesn't want you to know that he dug up billions of dollars to give to Argentina while Argentina is working with China to undercut American farmers.

The phrase "Trump administration plan to build dozens of new nuclear plants" should solicit hearty laughter from anyone familiar with the history of the nuclear industry, the fate of most recent nuclear plants, the honesty & competence of the Trump administration, or the meanings of words.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Phang: One man has single-handedly disenfranchised 813,000 voters in the state of Arizona, all because he wants to kiss the ass of convicted felon Donald Trump.

A small child shouts "How do you expect me to sleep with the rest of the world tossed in turmoil?"

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Blind protester dragged, detained by feds says agents picked 'the weakest person they could find'

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

Checking out my war-ravaged neighborhood here in SE Portland this morning. Everyone stay safe out there.

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Every word he says here is a lie. Every. Single. Word. He’s living in an alternate reality. #25thAmendment.
