Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is whyβ€”whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of thisβ€”they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

WATCH β€” @aoc.bsky.social : β€œAt some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

We live in Southern California. The entire family voted yes on prop 50. We have to fight fire with fire.

Statue of Thurgood Marshall unveiled in downtown Columbia A statue of an important figure in Black history has just been unveiled in downtown Columbia. It's the centerpiece of a new roundabout, created to help share what's long been an undertold story.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

It seems clearβ€”I think to everyone, nowβ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for itβ€”obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Vote YES on 50!

Who will get elected to represent you and your community in government?

A YES vote means California will temporarily use new Congressional maps drawn by Democratic state officials to elect Congressional representatives in 2026, 2028 and 2030.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β€” This should shake everyone to their core.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

So-designated essential Federal workers made to work without pay = involuntary servitude. Worse off than even slaves, and that is saying a lot! Massa fed, clothed and sheltered his slaves because they were his "assets." Essential workers get none of that during shut down.

13th Amendment?

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA.

I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.
