NEW: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed during a speech to prioritize undoing SCOTUS’ rollback of voting rights if Democrats take back control of Congress and the White House. The statement offers the clearest look into the party’s current thinking about democracy ahead of the midterms.

The 2-3 week Trump War has gone on for 156 days now.

America is rotting from the inside.

We're gonna need more lawsuits...

All of Trump sons can now sign up to support their Daddy’s WAR, he started. Let’s go Don, Eric, and Barron!

"Many Americans seem to have forgotten just how catastrophic US regime change wars have been in the past. So, with the risk of history repeating itself once again, here is Zeteo’s list of seven of the US’s most disastrous attempts at regime change, ranked"

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

.@HillaryClinton’s opening statement is brilliant. Must read. Can’t wait to read transcript of full testimony. Even more when will Trump have to testify??

Sen. Gallego: Trump is suing your agency for $10 billion. Where would that $10 billion come from? Bessent: The general fund Sen. Gallego: So, taxpayers. Bessent: Yes

As someone who came to fame as a member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan rap group, it might seem jarring to see Clifford "Method Man" Smith singing in the new romantic comedy "Relationship Goals." https://cnn.it/3ZcQGNr

So uh @tiffanydcross.bsky.social pulled up earlier tonight on @abbyphillip00.bsky.social and you get these gems. 🤣🤣🔥🔥 keep calling them out!

Exactly.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett announces her campaign for U.S. Senate for Texas with an ad that uses Trump’s own words against her.

Spare us the “narco terrorist” talk from an admin that pardons & releases actual charged & convicted drug kingpins. Hegseth bears responsibility for these unlawful strikes and must be held accountable. If the admin doesn’t cooperate with a congressional investigation, then Hegseth must be removed.

What the actual fuck….

Americans cannot afford food under Trump.

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

In case you missed yesterday's great news!

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work. He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation. They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

This is unacceptable. It’s what happens when you reward chaos instead of demanding accountability. (2/2)

In our country, the power is with the people. Tomorrow, October 18, I encourage you to join your neighbors in peaceful protest at a No Kings event.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD! THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS. WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Were the young I Love Hitler republicans in attendance? Check out the Politico BREAKING NEWS REPORTING on these DEPLORABLE’S.

Robert Morris, a Texas megachurch pastor who served on Trump’s Spiritual Advisory Council, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl, but he will only serve 6 months in a county jail as part of a plea deal.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social and @repcasar.bsky.social debate how Democrats and Republicans are messaging the shutdown and which strategy is more effective.

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Breaking News From @theathletic.com: A’ja Wilson was named the WNBA’s most valuable player, becoming the first in league history to win the award four times. nyti.ms/47Z9JQZ

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

If you’re a Black person in DC with an open container, a large backpack, or a minor infraction, you could catch a federal charge from Trump’s troops. But if you’re a white person willing to break the law on his behalf, he’ll give you a pardon, money, or a medal.

Orville Etoria, a Jamaican citizen with legal residency in the U.S., was among five men with criminal records deported in July to a prison in Africa. His case highlights a tension in President Trump’s deportation agenda, in which immigrants can be sent abroad and detained indefinitely.
