If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company.

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

New statement from AG James:

"This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.

"I am not fearful — I am fearless."

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

From Meidastouch: It's reported by the White House that the Convicted FElon is going to Walter Reed Military Hospital tomorrow, Friday, for an annual visit. The problem is he had an annual visit back in April. It has been shown that the Convicted FElon is having some serious health & mental concerns

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson:

SINCE YOU LOVE WORK REQUIREMENTS, I PROPOSE WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR CONGRESS. DO YOUR JOB OR NOT GET PAID! BRING THE HOUSE IN SESSION. THIS IS DESPICABLE!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Screenshot of a tweet from journalist Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X. The tweet shows a transcript from a NEWSNATION interview with Mike Johnson. The interviewer asks why he won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva, suggesting it’s to block her vote on an Epstein discharge petition. Johnson replies that Democrats are using distractions and red herrings and says it’s only a scheduling issue that will be addressed once Democrats vote to reopen the government.

Continuation of the NEWSNATION interview transcript shared by Aaron Rupar. The interviewer points out that Republicans have been sworn in during pro forma sessions and asks why it should be different for a Democrat. Mike Johnson replies that the two Florida representatives sworn in earlier were an exception because they had flown their families in for the ceremony.

Final part of the tweet thread showing a screenshot from a NEWSNATION broadcast. The interviewer asks if Adelita Grijalva would be sworn in if she flew in her family. Mike Johnson responds that these are distractions. The split-screen broadcast shows the interviewer on the left, Mike Johnson in the center, and a clip of Adelita Grijalva speaking at a podium outdoors on the right. The headline reads: ‘WHY IT MATTERS: GRJALVA TO BE SWORN IN ONCE GOV’T REOPENED.’ A timer below shows ‘Government shutdown in 6 days.’

It’s been over two weeks! Swear her in! And release the Epstein files.

My morning message of inspiration. I may be very ill, but I am still fighting against this authoritarian regime. Please fight with me. NEVER GIVE UP!

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

National Guard Troops Assemble in Chicago Area as Trump Officials Make Visits

Time for the 25th Amendment.

“National Guard troops from Texas assembled, with riot shields in tow, on the outskirts of Chicago on Tuesday, an extraordinary symbol of what local officials have decried as an unconstitutional “invasion” ordered by Trump.”

Don’t ever think we won’t be next. Well I mean we are but people still have their blinders on.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Hundreds Of Unpaid TSA Agents Are Calling In Sick—Expect Longer Airport Security Lines As the government shutdown moves into its second week, air travelers can expect longer airport security lines—as TSA employees call out sick in higher numbers.

I love when they come home

TAPPER: I don't understand why you're not calling the House back in session

MIKE JOHNSON: Members are doing important work in their districts right now

TAPPER: But the work legislating is also important work

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Bees are small miracles – without them, there would be hardly any life on our planet. They pollinate over 80% of all plants, secure our food supply, and maintain the natural balance. When we protect bees, we protect ourselves – because their buzzing is the heartbeat of nature.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Whoo hoo! Give her a follow, amplify her messaging, and if you can, donate to her campaign so that she can win the general on December 2nd.

Yes, AOC is right!!!

👇

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Soooo Burbank's Air Traffic Controllers WALKED OFF THE JOB TONIGHT‼️👏👏👏...BRAVO‼️...If ALL Air Traffic Controllers Follow Suit, the SHUTDOWN WILL END‼️⚠️‼️
