House votes to end partial government shutdown, setting up contentious talks on ICE The House has approved a spending bill to end a short-lived partial government shutdown. Now lawmakers will begin contentious negotiations over new guardrails for immigration enforcement.

This vote buys time, not solutions. The fight is now squarely on DHS and Republicans are on their back foot. Democrats have less than two weeks to press their advantage — they must hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP.

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Liam, so happy you and your date are home where you belong❤️

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

What she said💪

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Bovino is just the beginning.
Keep up the fight.
Things are shifting.

Humiliating stuff. The audience for this subservient right wing propaganda is already over-served. If it wasn’t for a deep-pocketed Trump billionaire backing this dreck the network would fold like a cheap tent. @bariweiss @tonydokoupil

Sen. Thune, if you think the people who attended the ‘No Kings’ event were a ‘left-wing Marxist crowd’ you should resign now — The South Dakota Standard Dear Sen. Thune, “It’s going to be a very left-wing Marxist crowd here this weekend” is how you characterized the Oct. 18 ‘No Kings’ march in Sioux Falls in an interview with KELO TV on Oct. 17 . ...

The Americans who attended No Kings rallies are not Marxists, anarchists, or communists, as your devious colleagues suggest. They are, however, anti-fascists, as were my father and yours. — Misti Snow

Great news: In the lawsuit we filed, a federal court just ruled that the Agriculture Department acted unlawfully by refusing to use its emergency fund to make SNAP payments. It has until Monday to deliver a plan to pay benefits.

This is a major step toward making sure 16m kids don’t go hungry.

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

No Kings protest in Winston-Salem North Carolina. Huge crowd!

Same here in ruby-red Hendersonville, North Carolina. Massive crowd, great energy, inventive signs.

No Kings rally in Charlotte, North Carolina
==================

40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk.

40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table.

Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina.

That could feed every American.

That could easily fund SNAP.

America first?

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.

"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries."

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:
