Now Letitia James. If you oppose Trump his minions will prosecute you. This is fascism in America.

New CBS polling shows that voters have soured on Trump's handling of economic issues.

60% of voters now disapprove of his overall handling of the economy.

On inflation it's even worse for Trump, with 65% disapproving.

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

It’s the silence of the Republican House you need to hear. They aren’t doing anything. No oversight. No work. Trying to blame Democrats for their incompetence. We have voices. Use them peacefully and patriotically to protest your government. They want violence. Don’t give it to them.

MAGA lawmakers regularly share its content. Elon called it "one of the best accounts on X." It's run by a Macedonian who has never set foot in America — and who illegally donated to a U.S. congressional campaign.

Great stuff from @jsweetli.bsky.social:

The Viral MAGA Accounts Run by a Man Who Has Never Been to America

Two influential MAGA social media accounts are run by Rumen Naumovski, a Macedonian who may have illegally donated to a U.S. election.

White House: Republican
House: Republican
Senate: Republican
Ann Wagner: Republican

Feels like this is on the Republicans and their clown car of a party that can’t govern. Imagine having full control of it all and blaming the minority party for closing the government? o

This strikes me as interesting item in the Illinois lawsuit to stop the National Guard from coming. Apparently the same thing happened in the Oregon order attempting to federalize National Guard troops. Sounds like Trump isn't willing to directly make the order. Or they're just dumb. Both bad.

We can change Missouri in MO-2. We run a professional campaign with a vision to make people’s lives better and represent them in Congress. We can change the entire state by also breaking the supermajority. We’re not done yet! #TeamWellman

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The House of Representatives has not held a vote since September 19th to avoid releasing the Epstein records. My opponent Ann Wagner hasn’t said thing about any of it. Enjoying her free vacation while the government is shut down.

Hey, did you know my friend Fred is running for Congress?

This is very good news!

Fred Wellman @fpwellman.bsky.social · 8d

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...
