They must be exhausted.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, but avoidable harm to kids really gets to me. My kids can be difficult when they don't get an afternoon snack at the usual time. I'm sure various parents and teachers can say the same. Watching a kid starve to death? And the US govt did it on purpose?
Unconscionable.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Antifa doesn’t exist but the Epstein files do.

This headline 🤣🤣🤣

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.

Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.

Pro Tip: POTUS that respect our service members don’t leave them standing around for an hour just because they can. Guys who only see them as props do that, Trump would disown one of his own kids if they joined the armed services. He wouldn’t invite wounded vets to ‘CA’ finales.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The military is supposed to be non-political...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Oop. Turns out that voters blame the GOP more for the shutdown by an average of 12 pts.

"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." 31 USC 5114(b)

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

File this under “essential function.” 🤡

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.
