Should a working family go broke because of one freak accident or bad diagnosis?

That could be the new reality for millions of Americans because Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the government than lower health care costs.

Jury selection begins in the trial of D.C.'s 'sandwich guy' Sean Dunn went viral this summer for throwing a salami sub at a Customs and Border Protection agent.

NEW: Jury selection begins in the trial of sandwich guy today. The prosecutors are accusing him of "throwing a meat sandwich" at "point-blank range."

POINT-BLANK RANGE 💀 www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while.

Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Proving yet again how closely he studied Goebbels.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

We have run out of ways to describe their gaslighting and projection

Trump urges Republicans to kill filibuster, warning they'll lose if they don't The president's social media blast came on Election Day morning and as the government shutdown is nearing a sixth week.

Trump urges Republicans to kill filibuster, warning they'll lose if they don't

It’s Election Day with critical races in several states. This is the first general election where voters get to tell Donald Trump what they think of him so far. Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard! Vote like your country depends on it. Because it does.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Donald Trump is telling the Republicans to "get tougher."

Get tougher on who? The woman with malignant melanoma?

Because he sure as hell isn't getting tougher on the billionaires he invited to his Great Gatsby party.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

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.

In Blow to Trump’s Power Grab, Federal Judge Blocks Troop Deployment In Oregon Read more here.

NEW: A federal court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard in Oregon, ruling that the president's actions violated federal law and the Constitution. A permanent block is expected to be issued this week.

"Where's the beef?"

believing republicans are fighting for health care is like believing al qaeda wanted to protect the world trade center

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

Yes, an important test for the midterms.
