Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Fox News lied?? I'm shocked!!!

All MAGAts... today, losing Grandpas 40 acres and a mule...

Hmmm... how's that working for you?

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

A British academic is tracking the Dictator in the WH’s authoritarian acts since taking office in Jan.

It tracks illegalities, unconst’l acts, abuses of power - anything undermining democracy & propping up authoritarianism.

Tally is at 1466 authoritarian acts.

What they’re doing is psychological warfare designed to make you feel hopeless and reactive so they can justify escalation. In that you are already in the “what if they start shouting at us en masse” means it’s working to an extent.

Ppl are seeing through it for exactly what it is.

Hold the line.

Since the Speaker refuses to swear in Grijalva, a duly elected Member, the House can & must act:

1. Pass a resolution authorizing another Member to swear her in

2. File a Motion to Compel or censure Speaker for dereliction of duty

3. Apply public & political pressure

🔊 RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

🆘🇺🇸

Disciplined, peaceful defiance can expose the illegitimacy of oppressive power.

RESIST.

White House looks for a loophole in the law ensuring federal workers get paid after a shutdown The memo suggests furloughed workers are not entitled to back pay, Wpress secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed.

A draft White House memo argues that furloughed federal workers are not entitled to back pay after the government shutdown lifts, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC News.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Mike Johnson isn’t “waiting on procedure.”
He’s running interference.
Every day he blocks Adelita Grijalva’s swearing in, he protects the predators named in the Epstein files.

We all know it’s a damn cover-up.

The rot runs straight through GOP leadership.
@atrupar.com

DURBIN: Why did you publicly claim to have the Epstein client list waiting for your review and then produce nothing relevant to that claim?

BONDI: There was no client list

The House is out for a third straight week. Will the GOP actually return for legislative business on October 14? That's TBD. It's not like there is no work to do. The House still needs to vote on 9 of 12 government funding bills for 2026.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

The devolution of CBS News A network once revered for fact-based reporting is embracing right-wing pseudo-journalism

1. CBS, once one of America's most trusted sources for news, has hired anti-woke crusader Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief

With Weiss, CBS is embracing someone who talks a lot about honesty but has a history of distorting the truth to conform to her right-wing ideological agenda.

Let's review.

Holy shit. Someone has had an epiphany!
