Cave once, and history will make you pay twice.

I tend to forget about this account, so music catch up. Last week, Lukas Nelson was fantastic at the Moore in Seattle. Thank you @stgpresents for the comp tickets! @lukasnelson.bsky.social

MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington?

JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Yay! More states New York, Kansas, and Pennsylvania have announced they’ve started sending out full SNAP benefits. Meanwhile, Trump was apparently too busy napping to help make sure people got the assistance they need.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

100% serious here.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

BREAKING: SANDWICH GUY ACQUITTED. NOT GUILTY!

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Voters soundly reject Trump's plot to rig the next election On Tuesday, Democrats passed new congressional maps, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected pro-democracy judges.

Trump’s unprecedented attempt to rig the midterm elections took a massive hit on Tuesday.

Democrats struck back with their own redistricting efforts, defeated GOP attempts to make it harder to vote, and protected Democratic judges who have ruled against Trump’s election subversion schemes.

In Blow to Trump’s Power Grab, Federal Judge Blocks Troop Deployment In Oregon Read more here.

A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Oregon, writing that the Portland protests the administration cited as an urgent threat were “generally uneventful.” A permanent block is expected this week. https://bit.ly/3JhoAwc

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

Ouch 🚽

Let them eat shit

May the odds be ever in your favor

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Tell him what you think about his government shut down, and letting food stamps expire for Americans living in poverty.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

A win! The 9th Circuit allowed Judge Karin Immergut’s restraining order against deploying National Guard troops in Portland to remain in effect while the full appeals court decides whether to rehear the case.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

We were just notified that cell-site simulators were used during the No Kings protests in several cities. Fortunately, we planned for this. Portland, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago were among the targeted locations. If you’re attending protests, please remember to follow protocol.

Worst. President. EVER.

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

The Epstein Recess continues.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.
