Holding off the Russians means “finding ways to compensate for Ukraine’s desperate shortage of man power,” @robertfworth writes. Kyiv has found ingenious methods of staying in the fight:

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history.

They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

They literally only know how to be victims

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants' This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to illegal immigrants.

FACT FOCUS: Republicans shut down the government to give him more time to hide the #EPSTEIN_Files.

Think the GOP's shutdown-driven health care crisis won't affect you? Think again.

If Republicans don't reverse course, average enrollee premiums on California's Health Insurance Exchange are set to skyrocket come January.

After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.

Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

BREAKING: We just won in court — again.

A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.

Same.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

California just signed a new trade partnership with Belgium.

We're committed to expanding economic and clean energy innovation — because California will always be a stable, reliable partner on the world stage.

You didn’t think he was just panicked over Republican polling, did you? 🤣

Latest update on Mike Johnson’s Grindr profile…

Now you know

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
