Wannabe dictator Trump takes advantage of the shutdown to quietly sign an executive order expanding ICE’s powers. No vote, no debate just his signature. A bold, calculated, and deeply undemocratic move.

Today @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social's election is certified—what excuse will Speaker Mickey Mouse Johnson use now to avoid swearing her in? Oh right, he told GOP reps to stay home to dodge the 218th vote and delay releasing the Epstein Files.

Airports serving Buffalo/Charlotte/Cleveland/Los Angeles/Phoenix/Seattle/Portland have refused to air a partisan video of Kristi Noem blaming Dems for the ongoing government shutdown, saying it could violate internal polices or state or federal laws that ban political messaging. #TrumpShutdown

Whites can never fully understand the centuries long oppression but many recognized what was happening and did whatever we could to stop it. We were making progress. But now…

We have to fight harder and smarter to just get back to where we were a year ago which has put everyone back centuries.

The GOP budget is going to be the single most unpopular and destructive budget in modern American history - tariffs/higher prices, exploding deficits, gutting health care, slashing clean energy/higher electricity costs, huge ICE expansion.

Going to be a parade of horrors and they are scared of it.

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 19h

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

A ceasefire takes effect, and Trump immediately uses the moment to trash American leaders in a campaign-style speech—while his regime cracks down on protesters at home and keeps the government shuttered. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT:

President Biden brought home 148 living hostages.
Just a reminder.
Very happy the last hostages are home. But never forget who saved the most souls.
