Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Bunch of rat bastards!!!

We don’t have money to fund public schools, but we do have money to fund private religious or organizations taking field trip trips to Turning Point USA…

The White House has the latest data on jobs in the United States, but they refuse to release it.

Businesses rely on this data. Experts who assess our economy rely on this data. The Federal Reserve relies on this data to decide interest rates.

Is Trump trying to hide something?

Pentagon's plan to limit contact with Congress is 'not going to work,' lawmakers say Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas suggested the Senate may be reluctant to confirm some Pentagon nominees unless the policy is reversed.

Senior Republican lawmakers predicted Wednesday that Pete Hegseth's new policy restricting communication between Pentagon personnel and Congress will crash and burn.

So what are they going to do about it? So far they're only threatening not to confirm appointments.

According to the tow truck driver, the Hospital called for the tow. This is where TikToker Richard L.A. is being held/treated after being shot by U.S. Marshal while being targeted during an immigration arrest. This is the second ICE vehicle towed from the hospital. @eltragon.bsky.social

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Be there. Saturday, October 18th.

For the Epsteinth time!

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Shutdowns are painful for millions of American workers, health insurance premiums are set to more than double for millions more, nothing about this is fun.

ICE zip-tying and detaining children isn’t “enforcement,” it’s *state cruelty.*

The 8th Amendment prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” That protection extends through the 5th & 14th to all human beings on U.S. soil.

This is unconstitutional, unlawful, and morally depraved.

FULL STOP.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Same.

Federal agents shoot woman in Chicago neighborhood after allegedly being rammed, boxed in by cars, DHS says The woman, as well as a man whom authorities say was involved in the chaos, were facing charges Sunday morning.

Ten cars rammed into an ICE agent's vehicle and yet zero footage of the incident: ain't that something

White nationalism sucks

He is a cancer on this country that needs to be removed.

Stephen Miller Lays Out the Plan in Public The White House aide equates opposition to Trump’s agenda with terrorism—and pushes for the use of state power to suppress it.

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The Maine Wire, Ballotgate & Stochastic Terrorism In the past few days I have been swamped by right-wing trolls sending me threats and trying to get me fired from my job because I have questioned the narrative of the Maine Wire’s story Maine Woman Di...
