Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

This part 😡

Lawrence: Trump says 65% of Americans are ‘FOOLS!’ MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how the shutdown fight demonstrates that Donald Trump “doesn't care about starving people” or rising health insurance premiums or “the future of his political party...

So the Convicted FElon thinks the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS are FOOLS‼️When it comes to Tariffs, to Economy, to Healthcare. He thinks WE are the stupid idiots.

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

The art of folding a winning hand

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Let facts be submitted to a candid world: Donald Trump is deliberately starving US citizens.

media platforms to communicate about top secret missions
15) using the pardon power to leverage riches for himself
16) denying hungry Americans basic food and sustenance
17) lying to the people with every word spoken

Any ONE of these things is grounds for impeachment.

He has made all

10) destroying historical landmarks and symbols of our democracy to build gaudy monuments to himself
11) usurping and neutering the power of Congress
12) turning federal agencies into partisan doormats
13) using the department of health to harm rather than help people
14) using public social

neighboring countries
5) turning DOJ into personal attack dogs
6) depriving all non-white citizens of due process and probable cause rights
7) disappearing people off of the streets and sending them to parts unknown
8) openly defying court orders
9) setting federal troops on citizens in US cities

I just want to point out that the asshole and his minions have normalized:

1) taking bribes and gifts from foreign countries
2) pump and dump stock and crypto schemes and massive insider trading
3) killing fishermen in international waters with no proof or basis to do so
4) threatening to annex

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but there’s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.

WAPO said Democracy dies in darkness.

We’re seeing how dark it can get with Trump’s government.

He is a president who never turns on the lights and Johnson is a Speaker who doesn’t know where the switch is.

What fills the void isn’t leadership, it’s the absence of transparency and accountability.

🤷🏼

I know it's hard, but do not turn away from this regime's cruelty and violence. Remember it. Document it. Defend against it when you can. Let it influence your voting. And know that this will be needed in defying them now and holding them accountable as soon as we can.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Wide shot of a packed stadium.

Good evening from Queens.

New York is not for sale.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

"Trump was willing to sit down with Hamas and negotiate a solution ... but he's not willing to sit down with Democrats and negotiate a solution on healthcare for the American people."
