AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I’ve said that for a while now.

I believe Johnson is trying to delay things long enough for the DOJ to finish scrubbing mentions
Of Trump and friends from the Epstein Files.

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

🤣

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.

DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History. Kat Abughazaleh allegedly protested in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed,” feds said.

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.

The Trump administration could fund SNAP if it wanted to.

But after squeezing budgets with the highest grocery inflation in years, Trump is making things even harder by cutting off the aid families rely on.

Billionaires are shoveling $18.7 million to torpedo Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral run, petrified of his vow to tax their grotesque fortunes. Bloomberg dumped $8.3 million to buoy Cuomo. #TaxTheRich

A tweet from MeidasTouch reads: “She can’t work for her constituents because you won’t swear her into her job. My god these people.” Below, a tweet from Aaron Rupar quotes Mike Johnson saying: “Rep. Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office.” The image shows a CNN broadcast with two men in split-screen — anchor Jake Tapper on the left and Mike Johnson on the right — with a headline reading: “GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DRAGS INTO 16TH DAY.”

The Epstein Files must be really bad for his boss.

The ceasefire agreement for which Trump received an avalanche of praise—including a TIME cover—lasted six days.

Six days.

"We have to engage in this moment with the ruthless survival skills of an LGBTQ kid in Florida or in North Dakota who does not have the luxury of prioritizing purity and perfection over goodwill and good intentions."

@mcbride.house.gov joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

This isn’t about politics; it’s about ownership of the scoreboard. When the scoreboard changes owners, the game changes. The sale no one voted on...and why you should care.🔥👇

This is a masterpiece.

The U.S. just bailed out Argentina, Treasury Secretary confirms The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Rubio’s leadership in Myanmar.

Does major news media really not understand? No, the Justice Department’s reputation is not “on the line.“ Trump’s DOJ has crossed the red line of corruption repeatedly.

They’re baaack. 🤣

Repairs and all…

When the government creates an forum for speech, the standards should be different than simply calling it government speech. Unless the materials are obscene, the state shouldn’t be empowered to remove them arbitrarily.
