No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a β€œhate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

β€œWhen in our history have we tolerated unlawful riotous assemblies night after night around FBI buildings, or ATF buildings, or DEA buildings?” Miller said during an interview on CNN. β€œThis is the textbook definition of domestic terrorism.”

I repeatedly highlight the bravery of all Ukraine's emergency, and indeed repair workers, who go about their jobs with no protection.

So spare a thought for family & friends of Vitaliy Kartashov, 59, murdered by Russia on Thursday while driving for Kherson's water company.

Nothing says America first like 300 federal agents descending on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.

Government sanctioned domestic terrorism is all you can call it.

Standing up to fascism used to be a patriotic thing. Now it’s being framed as a β€œHate America” thing.

It’s not America we hate. It’s an authoritarian government.

Hence, #NoKings events. Oct 18 is a day of peaceful protest against dictatorship.

Bob is a retired educator in Idaho and his wife spent decades working in health care.

If Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to protect the health care tax credits, his premiums will increase from $51 to $2,250 a MONTH.

House Recess Extended to Oct. 19 As Government Shutdown Continues The House clerk reads a communication from Speaker Mike Johnson designating October 14 to 19 a district work period for members, meaning that the House will be in recess except for pro forma sessions ...

Mother fucker! The House has been in session only 15 days since July.

Its October!

GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months.
They get 175k a year in salary.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prizeβ€”instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Greetings from war ravaged Portland, where nothing is burning, no one seems to be rioting or looting, no wars or insurrections are happening, and people in their robes or PJs or cute animal costumes are offering Voodoo Donuts to ICE agents. Despite Noem's report, no hidden violence can be found.

IRS backtracks on back pay guarantee for furloughed employees An IRS employee told Federal News Network that earlier guidance emailed to employees on Wednesday was automatically deleted from their inboxes by Thursday.

The inconsistency on back pay is insane. GEFTA clearly requires back pay. But Congress will need to explicitly provide back pay to all furloughed employees because the administration is doing everything in its power not to comply with existing personnel law.

Per KFF "About half of Obamacare subsidy users are small business owners, people who work for a small business & self employed people - including gig workers.

Everything else aside do Americans want their Uber drivers not to have insurance & work while they are sick?
