We're entering the second day of the Republican government shutdown, and they STILL haven't come to the table to negotiate.

The government is shuttered and we're on the brink of a health care catastrophe. What are they waiting for?

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election.

If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

This is going to hurt all of us eventually. States don’t have the same resources for disaster relief as the federal government does.

There’s right wing TikTok fueled revelation that THE #RAPTURE will take place 9/23/25. Some are prepping outfits, or leaving instructions for loved ones who’ll be left behind. Others are hoping that if left behind, they’ll finally get some rest.

Good point from Chris Murphy here.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 18d

People on the right and left are sick of big corporations - like media companies - having become such a dominant force in our economy and our culture. Whichever party offers a vision to break up concentrated economic power has the potential to capture a new alignment of voters.

You have shit like Disney/ABC getting blindsided by the backlash to the Jimmy Kimmel suspension because they thought suspending him would be broadly popular because that's what Twitter was saying

Everyone with power is addicted to fucking Twitter

I have to admit I underestimated how much Elon buying Twitter would influence our politics - not because of its influence on ordinary people, which I predicted accurately as "significant but not extraordinary," but because I didn't realize how addicted all our journos and politicians are to Twitter

rachel maddow did an enormously successful podcast called ”bag man” about a corrupt politician taking literal bags of cash. it was … not supposed to be instructional.

Dave Itzkoff @ditzkoff.bsky.social · 18d

it was literally in a bag

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border czar, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later shut down by Trump administration officials.

The cash payment, which was made inside a bag from the food chain Cava, grew out of a long-running counterintelligence investigation that had not been targeting Mr. Homan, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the case.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.”

Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election”

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
