Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”

Leavitt: “It is just a fact.”

🚨Hilary Duff announces new single, “Mature,” out this Thursday.

Perfectly staged.....

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?"

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

David Sirota writes: “A group of literal oligarchs bewailing socialism at a gathering inside a kingdom ruled by an actual monarch is a bit too on the nose.” The embedded post from Bloomberg TV quotes Bill Ackman saying: “‘Having a socialist mayor would be catastrophic,’” referring to his opposition to Zohra Mamdani’s campaign for New York mayor. The image shows a panel of business leaders seated at a lavish conference in Saudi Arabia.

You know what’s catastrophic? Being sold out by the billionaires in that room.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Demi Lovato as Poot Lovato for Halloween.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

More shit Mike Johnson doesn’t know.

The Republican Health Care Trap, Episode 78 As the shutdown drags on, the GOP croons its old tune: replacing Obamacare.

A Republican party that was serious about balancing concerns over government spending with healthcare access could, in fact, hammer out agreements on these matters with Democrats. They're not, because they're not. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-republ...

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez V @AOC X.com Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn't have come in fifth. Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_• 17h We're being destroyed from within

ICE officers should not take legal advice from this ignorant Trump crony, who is practicing TrumpLaw without a license. If federal officials engage in violent crimes, they could well be indicted and convicted by state law enforcement authorities.

I love the idea of the next administration immediately tearing this down.

We could have just funded USAID instead of bailing out Trump's buddy in Argentina and undercutting American beef ranchers www.thebulwark.com/p/dont-cry-f...

Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters—one of the latest amalgamations of typically young, reckless, and English-speaking hackers—posted the apparent phone numbers and addresses of hundreds of government officials...

Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Trump regime officials doxxed by a coalition of loosely organized hackers known as Com. Info spilled on Telegram. #fuckICE

680+ DHS officials personal data
170+ FBI email addresses
190+ Department of Justice officials.

On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M.

He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans.

An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

154,000 New York City Students Were Homeless Last Year, a Record Number

The scale of the homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is staggering. We have to tackle it head on.

In addition to building significantly more affordable housing and bringing down the cost of living, I'll double funding for "Every Child and Family Is Known."

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse. Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one." Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago. And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

Kristi Noem dismisses a question about "shocking" images of ICE kidnapping and brutalizing people, including children: "Our law enforcement officers are doing everything appropriately and correct."

Speaker of the House holding a formal presser to announce that Jesus is the king of everyone in the USA should be getting more attention

Zero ambiguity here, folks. Trump is now threatening to use the “unquestioned power” of the Insurrection Act under the phony (and unconstitutional) pretense of fighting crime in cities

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

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