Murphy Mayhem

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.

Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

It's the very least they should be doing!

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data.

From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies.

A Trump quote without his face or voice - Trump without Trump. The quote is unedited and 100% accurate. This is from the McDonald's Impact Summit on November 17, 2025 - The drip drip water.

PSA: The President of the United States is a dangerous stochastic terrorist.

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

Today should go down in history as the day a sitting President of the United States made death threats against sitting members of Congress.

Are we great yet?

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

This notice of "correction" is very lawyered.

- No affidavit or declaration by counsel seeking to amend, clarify, or correct representations they made to the court during yesterday's hearing
- No assertion that the full grand jury actually saw the 2-count charging document
- Etc.

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.

Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

Insanity

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

JD Vance on the same morning Trump calls for execution of elected Democrats: "He's not a violent person:"

Republicans will legit scream that the left must be antisemitic because a big city elected a Muslim mayor but then they’ll ardently go to the mat for Nazi flags and iconography.

Trump endorses hanging Democratic members of Congress "Their words cannot be allowed to stand."

NEW: Donald Trump today endorsed a call to hang Democratic members of Congress. This is not just another Trump transgression. This is another warning.

Trump Calls for Executing Democrats Over Message to Military Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: In a burst of posts, Trump endorsed imprisoning, and even executing, Democratic lawmakers he accuses of “seditious behavior.”

Their offense? reminding U.S. troops to defend the Constitution.

And if you've previously picked a side, you don't have to stay there. Whatever you may have thought Trump was, he's proven his unfit. Let's be pro-democracy now. We can go back to party politics when we get through this.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

fat generals = bad
swastikas = meh?

This has always been the Democrats' position: release it all and let the chips fall. It is Trump and Republicans who have been handwringing about people who may be "falsely accused" in the files. Let the people decide. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The BLS jobs report released today shows the unemployment rate rose in September to its highest level since 2021.

It also shows that the U.S. economy *lost* jobs in August, after losing jobs in June.

Prior to this year, we hadn't seen a negative monthly jobs number since 2020.

A senior ICE official just admitted in an evidentiary hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case that someone else drafted his declaration in the case and he didn’t know what certain words meant.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

SCOOP: A federal grand jury in Maryland is investigating whether FHFA director Bill Pulte and Justice Department prosecutor Ed Martin improperly appointed unauthorized people to help in mortgage fraud investigations of President Trump's critics. With @carolleonnig.bsky.social

::UPDATE:: — The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the appeals of the three men convicted in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery. The court upheld the hate crime convictions of Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan, 👇🏾

Drafting a "peace plan" with Putin and then telling the Ukrainians to accept it is not mediation. It's acting as an agent for the Kremlin. Trump's and Witkoff's efforts to appease Putin are deeply disappointing. I was fooled into thinking Trump had finally figured Putin out. Looks like I was wrong

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

theres no coming back from this without prosecuting everyone up and down the chain of command

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?
