Many Republicans quietly agree that something needs to be done about the Trump-led healthcare cost crisis, and we need to get them on the record to pressure GOP leadership into negotiating an end to the shutdown. Make sure your Members of Congress hear from you: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Junior says he doesn’t watch Fox anymore because “it is so ridiculous” how biased they are against his dad, he complains they barely ever invite him on now, and “they’re just about clickbait.” (I did not speed this up).

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

One of the most frightening things about Trump's fascist coup is how many people don't realize it's a fascist coup.

“A simple “no” would have been easy if the photographs did not exist or if she had no knowledge of them. Her evasion suggests that they do in fact exist, as Wolff has claimed, that the FBI retrieved them, and that she has seen them. The public now deserves to see them, too.”

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) today floated the idea that workers furloughed during a government shutdown are not guaranteed back pay when the shutdown is resolved.

New in PN: Trump's invasion

"The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at."
Trump's invasion
This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.

Every single one.

Ironically, this the post where I asked for #alttext.
A screenshot of a post from the Twitter account “WatchYourRepsSC” (@watchyourrepssc). The post reads: *“Spot the difference? Republicans want to take away healthcare from kids, seniors & people with disabilities to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Democrats are working tirelessly to strengthen Medicaid and ensure everyone has access to quality care. #HandsOffOurMedicaid”* Below the text, there is a red and black graphic with white bold text that says: “FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING TO AFFORD THEIR BILLS” Below that, in smaller white and red text inside a white box, it reads: “CUTTING MEDICAID ISN’T LOWERING COSTS, IT’S RIPPING HEALTH CARE AWAY FROM THOSE WHO NEED IT.” The background of the graphic shows an image of houses with a red overlay.

The Texas redistricting hearing started on Wednesday in El Paso. Democracy Docket is covering it every day like it is the most important case for free and for elections in the country -- because it is. Legacy media is no where to be found.

DHS says an operation last week in which agents raided a Chicago apartment building, rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors and detained numerous residents, resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
