Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Republican senators are okay with throwing thousands of their own constituents under the bus.

Health insurance companies are finalizing their rates RIGHT NOW.

Doesn't matter if you're in a red or blue state, your premium might skyrocket.

And somehow, Republican senators are okay with throwing thousands of their own constituents under the bus.

CNN has become complicit with MAGA. It invites MAGA advocates to defend the indefensible, and then rarely fact checks them. It's become complicit with Trumpism by giving Singleton, Urban, Jennings, and the like a platform to spew their fascist crap.

@camanpour.bsky.social the US shutdown would normally be the big news, but yesterday, Trump told hundreds of generals to declare war on their fellow citizens! It was the most important news event of the day. CNN barely mentioned it. You all look like cowards and sycophants. Shame on you!

@wolfblitzercnn.bsky.social I write to you as a senior member of CNN. Trump & Hegseth's meeting with the generals was THE MOST IMPORTANT news event of yesterday, and I saw very little coverage of it. Normally, the shutdown would be the top story, but things aren't normal right now. Please, WAKE UP!

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social kudos to Ilhan Omar for tolerating your judgment of her for speaking the truth about Kirk while everyone, incl some Libs, was lionizing him and promoting further hate. If only you could be as courageous as she is. Wake up! You and CNN will next be in Trump's crosshairs

@jaketapper.bsky.social every time I give SOTU another chance, it disappoints. Gorka walked all over Keilar, who was unprepared for the interview. Then MAGA morons Jennings and Carter polluted the discussion afterwards. So sick of you giving a platform to MAGAs to defend the indefensible.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social did you fall asleep during your interview with Flood? Can’t you keep him to the point? He talked more about Biden and Obama than answering your questions! He trotted out lines of lies while you sat there like a spectator. Do your job!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

@betoorourke.bsky.social aside from your immediate family, I might just be your biggest fan. Great interview on SOTU this morning. You’re the future of the Dems. I sincerely hope you haven’t given up your plans to be president. Keep fighting for us. We desperately need more leaders like you.

@lauracoates.com, back when you were a journalist of integrity, you would've recognized Diddy as tabloid news. You've become painful to watch.

@erinburnett.bsky.social, you devote time to Kim K, the Menendez bros, and Diddy, which is total tabloid junk, and you neglect reporting about the daily disappearance of US citizens and legal residents by ICE agents. What the hell is your problem?

@erinburnett.bsky.social CNN's failure to extensively report on the large number of illegal arrests and detainments happening daily in the US right now amounts to complicity. Shame on you!

@abbyphillip.bsky.social your show has become obsolete. Having Trumpies come on to defend the indefensible and make outlandish and absurd claims is a waste of our time and sickening to watch. I'm done.

Obama applauds Harvard for rejecting Trump’s ‘attempt to stifle academic freedom’ Obama said the Ivy League university has set an example for other higher education institutions and hopes they ‘follow suit’

We are being governed by incompetents and broligarchs who would start World War III with a pocket dial.

Trump is conducting an authoritarian witch hunt against foreign students here legally, simply because they’ve engaged in free speech that his regime doesn’t like.

This is modern-day McCarthyism and an attack on the First Amendment. We must all stand up against it.

Good lord what a bunch of liars and incompetents. Also, as an aside. who sets their disappearing messages to 4 weeks if they want to avoid accountability? Also, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social is a badass.

On the left: Hegseth's message.

On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions.

This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level.

They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

Your pants are on fire Tracy Flick. By which I mean you are a liar.

The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s Purge Can librarians and guerrilla archivists save the country’s files from DOGE?

A “digital book burning” is under way at federal agencies. Can volunteer archivists and data hoarders save the country’s files from DOGE?

@schumer.senate.gov you coward. I’m done with you!

Free Mahmoud Khalil The Trump administration has illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil in direct retaliation for his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights. This egregious, unprecedented, and illegal abuse of...

ICE illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, for his political advocacy.

Take action to free Mahmoud NOW.

@abbyphillip.bsky.social Why isn’t CNN covering the numerous demonstrations and protests against Trump happening all over the country? Senator Jeff Merkley takes down Christopher Landau on the Senate floor and no coverage? You smell compromised.
