"Madness": A retired brigadier general slams Trump’s military power grab On this week’s “More To The Story,” a former National Guard officer discusses the perils of politicizing the military and why the Insurrection Act needs reform.

“I’m watching the military becoming co-opted by politicians...If that happens, the roots of our democracy are in extreme danger.”

In June, our friends at @revealnews.org spoke with a former National Guard officer to discuss the perils of politicizing the military.

Someone in the DOJ with access to the Epstein files has a conscience and enough love for this country to leak them. Where is this generation’s Deep Throat?

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

It’ll always anger and disgust me that instead of sending a dangerous deranged criminal traitor dictator wannabe to jail where he belongs, people decided to send him back to the White House with full power to continue his destructive vengeance tour.

Chris Murphy’s Dark and Unnerving New Warning about Trump

The Democratic senator has taken the lead in drawing attention to Trump’s authoritarianism. In an interview, he offers a stark new warning that should galvanize his fellow Democrats before it’s too late.

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Harry Enten: "Who do Americans blame more for the shutdown? They blame Republicans. The New York Times -- by 7 points they blame Republicans. Marist -- blame Trump and Republicans by 12 points. How about Washington Post? By a 17 point margin."”

The American people aren’t buying Republicans’ bullsh*t about the Trump Shutdown.

Your Democratic senators need to hear from you — encourage them to keep fighting to protect healthcare for millions and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Why Did DHS Send a Russian Exile to Costa Rica? The Trump administration has sent thousands of people to places other than their countries of origin — also known as third countries. Months after being deported, one such Russian family has been forced to rebuild its life in Monteverde.

The Trump administration has completely ended all pathways to seek asylum, a legal right for more than half a century.

We took the government to court and won, and they're now appealing. We won't abandon our commitment to people fleeing danger.

4.4 million veterans live in rural America, many of whom are older and rely on Medicaid. With Republicans slashing funding, struggling rural hospitals face even greater challenges, putting veterans' lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Generals, I hope you’re paying attention to this…

Read this 👆🏼whole article, then try this idea of the author:

“Locate the nearest military base to your home and contact the commanding officer (CO). Tell him or her how outraged you are by the commander in chief’s unbecoming conduct…”

THE ENEMIES WITHIN It is incredible that just 48 hours after the most dangerous, anti-American speech ever given by a president, too many have just moved on to the next thing ...

We must never 'move on' from what is arguably the most perilous threat to our country by a sitting President in the history of America.

Please take the time to read this and act accordingly.

Thank you, @dearlstephens.bsky.social

The Billionaires Have Been Sucking the Rest of Us Dry Since 1989—And It’s Worse Than You Think

The 905 billionaires in the U.S. hold a combined $7.8 trillion in wealth, giving those at the very top political influence and power that undermines our democracy while working people scrape to get by.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Yesterday I said a society *requiring* you to own a car makes you less free than a society with options for biking, walking, & transit.
Lots of people have shouted at me that this could never work in rural areas, and that they have to drive long distances for everything.
YOU'RE MAKING MY POINT.

Thank you, General (Retired) Mark Hertling, for saying what all of us who have served know we serve the Constitution and will not execute any order that goes against our oath.

Trump Truth social post: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of Project 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrats Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT

You're right, Donald. We’re not stupid.

When you broke your promise to protect Medicaid by enacting a $1 trillion cut, you sold out hospitals and health coverage for millions.

Democrats just want you to keep your promise.

Repeal the cuts.

Pete Hegseth wants a specific kind of 'warrior.' Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret.) has a powerful rebuttal. On @cnn.com's "One Thing" podcast, Eaton explained to host David Rind why the U.S. military's true strength isn't a "warrior caste"—it's a force that reflects ALL of America.

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Given today's news, it's a great time to give all these groups a boost! Poor Coasties will still be on the job ... minus paychecks during shutdown.
