FBI cuts ties with civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center The FBI has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks extremist groups, after conservatives criticized the nonprofit for including slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's organization on its list of hate groups.

I give them money. They shouldn’t trust FBI now anyway. Fuck the fbi

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote.

Bald egg farts

I could not be prouder of the work my firm is doing to protect voting rights and voters from the current Department of Justice.

Wow. And today Jane Goodall passed away

The Democrats are upping their messaging game and I’m all in!

Republicans & Trump own this shutdown and we won’t forget it.
#DonaldTrumpsShutdown

It's like a Choose Your Own Hatch Act Violation.

Today’s dangerous speech showed it. SignalGate showed it. Nearly every action he’s taken in this office has shown it.

Pete Hegseth is wildly unqualified and should resign.

Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing.

They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

If I spent millions of taxpayer dollars and weakened our national security to force hundreds of military personnel to listen to my glorified TED Talk… and this was the response…. I’d resign in embarrassment.

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

Republican Senator Tillis said the Hegseth cringe fest was costly and counterproductive and could’ve been a zoom call (or an email)

WATCH: Trump’s Secretary of Lying @karolineleavitt lashes out and calls it “despicable” a reporter would dare ask about his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s clear conflicts of interest in the Middle East

(As Trump pushes the Gaza Peace Plan aka real estate deal)

🎯 @repdean.bsky.social is right, and @SpeakerJohnson knows it.

What is it called when everyone in a group is too afraid to criticize the leader for something they know is objectively wrong?

HARWOOD: “Each one has involved different politicians, issues, and electoral outlooks. But modern-era shutdowns stem from a common root cause: the extremism of today’s Republican Party.”

WATCH: @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social brings the receipts for @jessicatarlov.bsky.social’s on point 🎯 commentary on Fox about right-wing violence being more prevalent👇🏽

(despite Lawrence Jones’ gaslighting)

👀 @ericswalwell.bsky.social bringing it 👇🏽

WHISTLEBLOWER: “I was walked out of the building and fired… to silence me for speaking out about the truth. But I’m not going to let that happen.”

Paul was fired from HUD’s office of Fair Housing for calling out the Trump regime ignoring/enabling civil rights violations.

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

Newsom answers Trump’s racist Jeffries videos… 👀

Trump asked for this…

MEMPHIS… Hegseth & Bondi rolling into town with an insane amount of cars in their entourage…

PETE: “Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, renaming the DOD the Department of War… Trump came in saying he’s peace guy, but he’s posting ‘Apocalypse Now’ memes about making war on Chicago. He’s not exactly a peacenik.”

ON REDDIT — allegedly a mailer went out threatening Republicans to go vote in the TN-7 special election:

“Party leadership would be very disappointed” “You can’t afford that on your record” “your neighbors are watching” “we are compiling a list”😕

🙄 Tennessee has an affordability crisis, underfunded schools, traffic jams everywhere and the Republican Party is solving these problems!

Just kidding 👇

Stephen Miller brings his seething rage to MEMPHIS: "Gangbangers think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore… We are gonna rescue Memphis.”

REP. DEAN: “The president is unhinged… That performance in front of the generals?”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I didn’t see it.” 🤔🤥

@repdean.bsky.social: “Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing at us.”

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
