CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Literally unconstitutional; Congress has the power of the purse under Article I. Trump is trying to create a personalist regime where every dollar of federal spending is allocated at his whim.

Elected but Not Seated, Grijalva Waits to Sign Epstein Petition

There's no way JD Vance will ever allow a Democratic president to be seated.

Welcome to the dry run for January 6, 2029. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

A major immigration raid in Chicago last week led to dozens of arrests, including of green card holders and U.S. citizens. While the Trump administration has released a highly produced video of the raid, it still has not answered basic questions about the operation.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

really glad to see this important victory - i called & told someone i would cancel my 20 year membership if they cancelled LGBTQ character shows. the gentleman i spoke with was thankful for the call and we had a nice chat about some of the good programs that would have gone away if Netflix caved.

federal agents are attacking priests now? i guess this is a throwback to the corrupt fascist regimes/paramilitary regimes attacking (and murdering) priests and nuns in central and south america in the 70s and 80s. horrific.

Feds grant ICE building access to conservative media, influencers, ignore local Portland press Not all news organizations have been granted the same access to the ICE facility and the people who work there.

The Feds are giving right wing influencers and media outlets special privileges to the ICE building in Portland. They’re lying about local media getting the same access.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

this is not how democracies are supposed to function; this is what fascist authoritarianism looks like.

Broadview police chief accuses ICE agents of making false 911 calls Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.

📍 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖, 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒:

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills says ICE agents have made multiple false 911 calls. Mills calls the tactic “disturbing” and accuses ICE of draining local police resources. #AbuseofPowerWatch

I worship at the alter of greed and am willing to sacrifice my own mother, wife, and self on that alter if doing so will put a few more coins in my pocket. Who needs integrity or love when there is money to be made and power to be gained?

So far, the only thing of note in this pathetic Pam Bondi judiciary hearing is that she has absolutely no fear of ever being held accountable for lying under oath to the Senate and the American people, or doing whatever is necessary to protect Trump and his rich pedophile friends.

Ding ding ding

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Republicans - at least those who hold national office - are worker-hating scum.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

This administration really seems to want to kill people - actively or thru negligence. The folks they are targeting are our friends, neighbors and coworkers. And many are also children.

This is what happens when billionaires are elected to run our government. Trump stiffed his workers and contractors for years & only paid up when sued. This is all part of the same rotten entitlement and contempt for workers.

Monstrous

What a damn waste of resources.

Trump is engaged in an authoritarian takeover of states & cities that engage in free speech protest and/or lawfully resist his policies. Deployment of nat’l guard & military against our citizens is unlawful. He is violating the law & destroying our constitution and states rights.

Cool.

Today, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case challenging Colorado’s 2019 ban on dangerous and discredited “conversion therapy.”

So-called “conversion therapy” is an abusive pseudoscience that has been rejected by EVERY major medical and mental health organization.

So fucking sad to see such a brilliant and important investigative enterprise brought so low, so quickly by empty-headed tech capitalists with no interest in the news (the documentation of history happening while we live it) & only self-interest in being sycophants and mouthpieces of the powerful.

morally reprehensible.

‘Emergency’ World Naked Bike Ride in Portland announces date “Joy is a form of protest,” organizers of the in-the-buff bike ride said in a post.

Seems like it!
