The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...
Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

The President ordered these charges and fired his own U.S. Attorney and replaced him with a White House aide who would overrule career prosecutors to bring them.

We all must stand up for the rule of law.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

City Council just passed the STOP Slumlords ordinance, which protects renters living in the city’s most neglected properties.

Landlords like Brian Fitterer who manage properties with significant property violations will no longer be able to automatically renew their licenses.

Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.

This is the SIXTH time they've done this.

Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

The Charter Commission Government Structure Work Group met today at 4 PM. 🧵

TLDR: The work group was in agreement on limiting the positions subject to council confirmation, however, the group was split on exactly how far to go. Public Works was a main point of contention.

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional.

Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.

Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act?

TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

Instead of protecting health care, House Republicans are ripping it away.

Instead of trying to reopen the government, House Republicans are on vacation.

Instead of putting the American people first, House Republicans are prioritizing billionaires and wealthy corporations.

Enough is enough.

I joined Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley for a tour of Hennepin Healthcare’s Center for Addiction Medicine.

I was proud to secure $4.6 million in federal funding for Hennepin Healthcare. They're working everyday to ensure all Minnesotans get the quality the care they need.

Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"
