“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Priorities.

NEVER FORGET: The GOP House Congress got a VACATION for 2 months, while federal workers got $0 paychecks and 42M Americans didn’t get their SNAP.

Democrat Jim McGovern just humiliated Republican lawmakers after their return to DC:

“Where the hell have you been? Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation..."

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025.

Dems learn nothing.

Democrats, DO NOT CONCEDE! The country knows it's trump's fault! Don't let his cruelty make you give in!!

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS:

“If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

A Punch in the Face Tuesday's Democratic blowout demonstrated that the wannabe king is growing weaker while the public's anger is growing stronger

“…the worse it gets for him, the more obvious it is that he’s losing, the more desperate and extreme he gets. That means we can’t sit back and relax, counting the days until the midterms and a beautiful blue wave. We need to maintain our sense of urgency.”

Thank you to Rep. Yassamin Ansari for this act of total badassery—showing what real LEADERSHIP looks like when others stay silent.

Keep bringing the fire 🔥, the facts, and the fight.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 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.

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

A win! A federal judge has ruled that the White House must once again provide American Sign Language interpreters during press briefings. The U.S. District Judge Amir Ali emphasized that these briefings inform Americans about critical

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

This is an excellent idea!!!

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?"

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…
