I stand with Letitia James. Mark my words, he just picked a fight with the wrong lawyer.

This is what happens when a vindictive felon with unchecked power sits in the White House. It’s disgraceful, and every single person cheering it on will be remembered for standing on the wrong side of history.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

Nothing says America first like 300 federal agents descending on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.

Government sanctioned domestic terrorism is all you can call it.

Speaker Johnson just declared the House will remain in recess all next week. This will mark a full month off; the chamber has not been in session since September 19.

Remember Aaron Siri? The lawyer and RFK ally who wanted to revoke approval of the standalone polio vaccine? He's pushing for warning labels on Tylenol now.
@by-cjewett.bsky.social reports on Siri's ties to Kennedy and his outsized influence on vaccine policy.

Kinda amazing how the GOP refuses to make this lay up of a play. I think it might have something to do with swearing in Grijalva... kinda makes you wonder just how bad those Epstein files are.. they are willing to stiff the service members...

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Exactly THIS! Trump wants to turn Congress into the Russian State Duma — compliant lapdogs who exist only to codify laws dictated by the Supreme Ruler.

Alex Wagner Tonight @wagnertonight.msnbc.com · Nov 21

As @jheil.bsky.social points out, while Trump's Cabinet picks may not be qualified to run their departments, they are very qualified to further Trump's goal of wrecking the federal government.
