Tucked into a spending bill that is part of the deal to end the government shutdown is a provision that would allow GOP senators to personally sue the federal government for as much as $500K over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawful search of their phone records. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Maximus Decimus Meridius Snuggles was never quite the same after he had past life regression therapy.

One of two things is true: 1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader. OR 2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership? SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

They are ALL complicit‼️ TRUMP AND ALL THE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE‼️ JUSTICE FOR ALL VICTIMS‼️ #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Speaker Pelosi set the gold standard for effective governance, always doing what’s right for California and our country. This may be the end of an era, but the policy and infrastructure she shepherded, her legacy, and leadership all leave us ready for what’s ahead.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

To Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Thank you for your courage, fearlessness and focus. You knew the issues like nobody else; you knew the challenges like nobody else: you got it done like nobody else; you were driven to make life better for the people without a voice. And thank you for being my friend.

i don’t do this often but some good folks are dealing with some serious medical bills and could use your support if you have a few dollars to spare. thank you!

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket. How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Important

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

No, Winsome Earle Sears, girls don’t want privacy in locker rooms, we want to NOT get shot in our schools.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

The Dude has spoken: "ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.   American citizens are being detained & brutalized.   This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The face of Evil.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Doocy: "So the Democratic position is that illegal immigrants should not have any access to taxpayer-funded health insurance?" Sen. Mark Kelly: "Federal law is that undocumented individuals do not have access to medicare, medicaid, food stamps, or the ACA. That's the law."

More messaging like this please

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Chaos in Brighton Park. This is representative of the amount / direction of pepper and smoke sent into the neighborhood, in this case, for no reason I can discern other than because they were leaving. Feds had a clear path out in a different direction, and residents were vocal but not violent here.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Members of the democratic party should not support a single GOP-affiliated bill, nominee, resolution, or motion until such time as the GOP has restored every dollar inappropriately impounded, every employee illegally fired has been rehired, and every unconstitutional action corrected

I have not yet had a chance to listen to this, but want to share it with you: We had Ken Burns, the documentary filmmaker, on the main Bulwark podcast today. He talked with our Tim Miller about, among other things, his new film on the American Revolution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ1D...

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.
