NEW EPISODE: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joins me to break down the GOPβs chaos in the House, the fight over redistricting in Texas, and what these battles reveal about the road to 2026.

Democrats never learn! We marched, protested, supported, voted and gave Ds a blue wave last Tuesday. That has been returned with a shady, weak sucker punch. Iβm done until we get leaders who listen and fight for us.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

You can't blame a shutdown on Dems when the House GOP hasn't even bothered to show up for work.
And oh BTW, they control everything - the White House, Senate and House. It's on them.
Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts and end Trumpβs shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn β a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area β and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroaβs as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, βYou hit her! We have it on video!β agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
