This is so out of hand and so not acceptable. It needs to stop. The people in ice aren’t qualified to file my nails. They shouldn’t be allowed to hold a gun.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

Here they are, the Senators that can sleep at night with their Cadillac healthcare plan while 42 million Americans are denied AFFORDABLE healthcare.

Fetterman we expect, but @kaine.senate.gov we supported him for VP!
He’s the most disappointing of them all!

I’m not sure, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.

She’s never given me a reason to doubt her decency, and I suspect this will turn out the same.

Live Updates: Supreme Court Temporarily Allows Trump to Curtail Food Stamp Funding

🚨Read the details of what Justice Jackson did. She *paused* for a lower court, she did not make a unilateral decision to stop payment or even determine the legality of the request.

"Circuit Justices don’t usually explain administrative stays, and certainly not with this much detail about the timing. Here, Justice Jackson is clearly telling the First Circuit to hustleβ€”a message I am sure the court of appeals will receive and act upon."

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

We’re less than a year into his presidency and we’re seeing recession-like layoffs, MTG is calling Trump a liar on CNN, Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro are beefing, and GOP influencer accounts are accusing Trump of gaslighting.

Well-oiled machine!

Trump:

- Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment.

- Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon.

- Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs.

All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Note that this was a decision solely by justice ketanji Jackson. She probably has good reason.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

It’s important to note this was a procedural action, not a ruling on the merits of the underlying case. Justice Jackson wasn’t siding with the Trump administration; she was making sure the legal process unfolded correctly and fairly.

October 31, 2025 Yesterday a reporter asked Representative Joe Neguse, a Democrat of Colorado, about the administration’s withholding of reserve funds Congress intended would fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance...

More Dems need to respond to reporters questions as @neguse.house.gov responded to the reporter, quoted in @hcrichardson.bsky.social post.

Thank you @neguse.house.gov for standing up for the people and honoring your oath of office. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Interesting. Now that polling shows that voters are largely blaming the GOP for the shutdown, Trump is calling for the Senate to use the nuclear open and reopen the government.

Before, he was telling us he GOP to β€œhold firm” and not cave to anything Dems wanted.

This. Also:

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.

2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.

3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem represent β€œa growing list” of senior Trump-administration political appointees now living on military bases β€” β€œwhere they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest”

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Right now? Russ Vought failing to β€˜dismantle the bureaucracy’

He’s raging because he wasn’t able to just fire everyone like he we wanted to during the shutdown, and I like it when fascists are mad.

On Friday, I sat down with small business owners in Reston to hear about how Trump’s trade wars are raising costs on everyday goods like tea and coffee and hurting their businesses. That's why I'm forcing votes in the Senate to end Trump's tariffs.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
