2:15 pm - Speaker Johnson says Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can be sworn in 'as soon as she wants.'

Two hours later, GOP tells reporters Grijalva won't be sworn in until the government shutdown is over.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

This right here is Trump's ultimate goal: staying in power

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

The way the media will cover it is that they will show films of the dear leader's rambling speeches for hours on end because this is what their proprietors want.

After all, they've all been defending him for years haven't they? I don't believe it - this is about the polls showing that people are blaming the Republicans for the shut down and their instincts for self preservation and the protection of their seats is coming to the fore.

‼️This is what Trump doesn’t want you to know about his rotten deal with El Salvador.
In exchange for Bukele imprisoning people abducted from the US, like Abrego Garcia, Trump stopped investigations into MS-13 suspects who could testify about Bukele’s collusion with MS-13‼️ youtube.com/shorts/E9iN_...

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Well doesn't that look good on his campaign material?

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

I'll believe it when I see it!

As Watson questioned agents about warrants and the legality of their raid, neighbors pleaded with her to be quiet for her own safety. She refused to back down. "You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?" she asked the agents. "Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?" According to Watson, two federal agents told her that they were taking all detainees' photos to check them against databases for visas or warrants. When Watson walked around the block to capture footage of the ongoing raid, she noticed federal agents were using the parking lots of Excel South Shore Academy—a CPS contractor school— to load residents into vans. In them, Watson saw Black U.S. citizens, women, and children. Grabbed from their beds, they hadn't been allowed to dress themselves before they were zip-tied and brought down to the waiting vans.

And I am in absolute awe of this woman’s bravery:

Now that he's said the quiet part out loud and slightly too early re plenary authority, is Chuck Schumer encouraging all Democratic governors to write very strong letters to Trump?

Can someone explain to me please just what is the difference between the Tories and Reform?

Did you think No Deal Brexit was gone for good?

I have bad news.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Veterans who support trump are traitors to their oath

Now she's quoting MLK Jr - someone she'd have thrown in prison for protesting? Shameless, utterly shameless.

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

John McCain

ALL SOLDIERS WHO FIRE ON AMERICAN CITIZENS ON UNITED STATES SOIL ARE TRAITORS TO THEIR OATH TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. PERIOD.

Sigh

Listening to my favourite British radio show on LBC, James O'Brien, and I'd like to reassure Americans, as an Englishwoman, that even if YOU don't get how serious and dangerous your current situation is, we and many other countries certainly do!

Out For You Now,MAGATS.......

This little gecko found the perfect perch on Kamili. Fortunately, our resident contrarian was in a good mood today! Her 'take no prisoners' personality means she's more likely to discipline misbehaving orphans than coddle them – she's far too independent for all that: swt.bio/kamili
