@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.

It’s as shameless as it is cruel.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Good for her ... but I always wonder who actually pays for all of these huge settlements since it's not out of the personal pockets of the wrongdoers.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.

And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.
