Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

This is part of the WWII Memorial in DC. Over 400 gold stars. Each star represents 1,000 members of Antifa who gave their lives in defense of Democracy.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 225. 10/9/25 … Trump’s former personal attorney and newly installed US Attorney Lindsey Halligan complied with his repeated demands to indict NY AG Letitia James today.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 225. This is a big one with new indictment news, another crazy cabinet meeting, new theories from RFK Jr, Mike Johnson getting grilled by CSPAN callers, Greene going rogue on CNN, & everything else that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House β€” and by extension the government β€” came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other statesβ€”and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into anotherβ€”is extremely dangerous.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

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.

Did Dems walk into a shutdown "trap"? Or is Trump using the shutdown to continue doing all the authoritarian s**t he was going to do anyway?
