“I am just one person…this is an achievement of a whole society.”

María Corina Machado joins a long line of Nobel Peace Prize laureates who were awakened in the middle of the night to learn that the Nobel Committee was just minutes away from announcing their award.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

YES: A Wyoming librarian fired for refusing to pull LGBTQ books just won a $700,000 settlement for violation of her First Amendment rights. 👏 Let this be a warning to every censor-happy official in the country.

This. Will. Never. Happen.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

😕🇺🇸

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Soybean farmers should dump their beans on Capitol Hill…

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

SEIU_ORG (@seiu.org) Worker power in action! Let's get it!💜

As Trump guts workplace safety, rolls back worker protections, and empowers corporations to exploit workers, unions have never been more crucial.

Congratulations to these workers for winning their union. In these dark times, we can always find hope in the labor movement.

These guys are beyond stupid!

Shutdown hostage taking Russ Vought's threatens more mass firings; SCOTUS blesses his de facto impoundment

Re-upping this piece on news that Vought is firing federal employees:
*Vought lying that shutdowns compel layoffs, never have before.
*Layoffs are a choice, the shutdown is an excuse.
*Comes on top of existing RIFs, will make restoring govt services harder post-shutdown.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

Speaker Mike Johnson just extended the House recess through next week, which means members of Congress will keep getting paid for doing nothing while essential staff like members of the military will work without getting paychecks during the shutdown.
That's Republican leadership.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller: "Job growth has probably been negative the last few months. it doesn't look like it's doing much better. I don't hear anybody with big hiring plans."

Post this everywhere‼️

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Humm…..it’s a start I suppose. We shall see how it plays out.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

This is not good news unfortunately.

😂😂😂😂😂

So they’re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

Hahaha 😂

On October 18 there needs to be a breathtaking number of us in the streets.

Like visible from space numbers.
