Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers.

Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom.

Gee, I wonder why?

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Hundreds of people have been doxxed, fired or threatened for social media posts that were seen as callous or celebratory after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In a Texas town, people flooded online feeds with attacks that spilled into the real world for a paramedic. nyti.ms/4n7CSND

Day #12 of Republicans keeping the government shut down instead of making people's health care more affordable.

I would call out the absurdity of this tweet but will that really make a difference to the MAGAsphere

This has real -- I intended to dm "Pam" -- energy.

ICYMI — They lied about why they assaulted the WGN producer (then rammed a car for no reason)

Trump: The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam "Schiffty" Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT 6 ReTruths 27 Likes 10/12/25, 8:04 AM

Trump is clearly frustrated that DOJ hasn’t gone after Adam Schiff yet. Can’t wait to see what pretext they find to charge him.

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years and is ruling out agricultural taxes on methane emissions.

Can’t wait to see the regulatory impact statement that outlines the impact of this decision on everyone who isn’t a farmer

Tariff money is not a Trump Regime slush fund. It is tax money deposited into the US treasury and Congress has sole authority over the appropriation of tax dollars.

A draft White House memo, reported by Axios, reinterprets the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, or GEFTA, to stiff federal workers on furlough amid the longest shutdown in U.S. history. trib.al/nfzTyMJ

we need to abolish this shit

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for Trump to direct his attorney general to indict whoever he says?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: I think it's appropriate for Comey to answer for his conduct. I think our DOJ in the hands of Biden crossed every line

W: Biden never publicly called for Trump to be indicted

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

FOX: “They do control both chambers, but they do need senate votes from Dems.”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “Which is why there should be bipartisan negotiation. Republicans seem to believe health care is an extraneous issue. We don’t… insurance costs for a family making $85K will TRIPLE.”

Mike Johnson: "Republicans are the party that are fixing healthcare. We just demonstrated that in the one big beautiful bill."

He has no doubt discovered Joe’s time machine hidden in the secret lair in the WH basement.

PSA: Trump was president on 1/6

(Can’t wait to read @jaketapper’s book about this)

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

“All his options?” Now that clears up everything. So he could either decide to fly around Portland eating a ham sandwich or obliterate the city with air strikes like the Venezuelan fishermen he keeps blowing to kingdom come. Sounds pretty specific to me. Thanks JD

Asked by Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this morning whether the White House was seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act, Vice President Vance said, "The president is looking at all his options."

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)
