Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

I low-key feel like a lot of folks fell for the "The economy is bad under Biden" argument when it was just businesses going out of their ways to lay people off and raise prices because they wanted Trump back in power.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

He’s fulfilling the “run the government like a business” trope. Don’t waste money on people. Spend it to benefit your cronies at the top.

Angus: Who else are you going to give military bases to? When’s Vladimir Putin getting his rocket bases in the United States?

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Put this together this morning.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

Be ready to show your Antifa membership card!

Absolutely!!!

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

It's funny nobody's mentioned a singalong of Paul McCartney's "Frog Chorus" in the streets, en-masse.

Seriously. Just look at the lyrics.

That "We All Stand Together" part might work quite well...

i have this deeply absurd desire to see the national mall covered in portland frogs on no kings day. cities streets covered in dancing portland frogs across the nation. small town squares populated with portland frogs. a biblical quantity of portland frogs.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

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."

This is what the plutocrats dream of,

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

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.

#GOPShutdown

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Trump: bringing Shariah Law to Idaho. Wonder how all those militias will cope with that? I suppose a bunch of fundamentalists will mesh pretty well.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

We all know he’s delusional.
