It happens everytime republicans are trusted with power. They get so busy robbing and stealing our money, everything else goes to ruin.

There it is

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Same.

#AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

The Republicans and current President WANT the government shutdown. Obviously they are to blame because it is happening when they have all the power and they want it. Let’s talk about how to make things different instead of wasting time in a blame game. #peoplepower

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Let’s be clear: Adelita Grijalva should already be sworn in. The only thing stopping her oath is Speaker Mike Johnson’s choice. And that choice keeps her constituents without a voice—and delays the one extra signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Speaker Johnson clearly knows the president is a problem and it’s also clear he will do absolutely nothing about it. “I don’t control him” please YOU ARE THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, YOU CONTROL THE MONEY!!!!” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

“A lot of people on your side are too” is not a great response to “the president is unhinged.” 🙄🤢🤮😩

Jimmy Kimmel Comes Out And Says It: The Real Reason He Doesn’t Like Trump — HuffPost The late night host reveals a deeply personal reason for his dislike of the president.

This, exactly.

White House lays groundwork for mass government firings if there's a shutdown The Office of Management and Budget says in a memo that agencies should prepare reduction-in-force plans to accompany furloughs if a spending bill isn't passed next week.

They are going to hurt people no matter what, you cannot give them an inch… they have proven over and over that capitulation leads to more demands. Do not give in.

The Big Fall Canvass continues on this gorgeous Sunday across the five boroughs.

“It’s ironic … that they’re so against trans-ness and gender-affirming care for trans people,” the dermatologist said of Trump’s inner orbit. “Because, you know, they’re all doing their own gender-affirming care.”

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

Today we took our five borough tour to Staten Island, which too often has been caricatured or ignored.

The truth is that the story of Staten Island is the story of New York — a city built by generations of immigrants, where everyone wants to be able to afford a dignified life.

This is such bullshit. I have been to DC many times over the years and right now with the lawless MAGA folks in power is the only time time it has felt unsafe. I am so sad for our great capital city. What a disgrace. 😔💔

U.S. citizen detained by ICE in L.A. says she wasn't given water for 24 hours Andrea Velez was charged with assaulting a federal officer while he was attempting to arrest a suspect. The DOJ later dismissed her case.

U.S. citizen Andrea Velez was slammed to the ground by ICE agents, held 48 hours, and denied water for 24, despite showing ID. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Good advice.

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
