We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

I know this sounds extreme. It is.

I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.

Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was pleading and praying at a protest.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

How the fuck can America have too many immigrants, when with the exception of Indigenous People, Mexicans and Slaves, EVERYBODY IS OR BORN FROM IMMIGRANTS in America. Why is this so hard to understand?

The GOP shutdown is on. Republicans refused to negotiate on extending vital healthcare subsidies & pushed for cuts, forcing a lapse in funding. This is their shutdown, hurting fed workers & millions who face soaring health costs.

What a perfect message by a humanitarian rockstar. RIP Jane Goodall

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · 7d

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Believe me when I say this: The one thing that is FAR more dangerous than Trump and Project 2025 is the thought/feeling that it’s hopeless. As long as you have a heartbeat…nothing is hopeless.

We aren’t “ground down,”….we are wound UP. 🔥

#HappyPublicLandsDay! Today, I celebrate the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, where millions of Angelenos can hike, explore, and connect with nature close to home.

I’ll keep fighting to protect our public lands so everyone can enjoy their beauty for generations to come!
