I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

When this mess is over, the DOJ needs a full purge, top to bottom, and only then can it be rebuilt. That’s the only way to rid it - and the FBI - of the pure brazen corruption and the taint this Admin has left on it.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Tell me you’re a fucking moron without telling me you’re a fucking moron.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Traitors to the American people. Resign and let Dems with a spine actually show you how to lead.

Centrist Dems CAVE For a MAGA "Inshallah" That Will Never Happen Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus? With @muellershewrote.com thelefthook.substack.com/p/centrist-d...

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Cowards and sellouts, every single one. We’ll remember come the next election & send you into oblivion. Hassan and Durbin can fuck off into retirement. Hope your airline lobbyist payouts were worth it.

Here are the 8 Democratic senators who just voted to move forward with an agreement to end the shutdown: Catherine Cortez Masto Dick Durbin John Fetterman Maggie Hassan Tim Kaine Angus King (I) Jacky Rosen Jeanne Shaheen

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

We need this to penetrate public consciousness. Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to “get a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.

Every new report on the consequences of Trump’s dismantling of USAID is more horrifying than the last. One model estimates it's caused 600K deaths — two-thirds of them children. We can’t give Trump a blank check to keep destroying life-saving programs.

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing. It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship. 1/ So here's a🧵

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

Congressmen get paid $174,000 a year, plus benefits. Mike Johnson & the GOP have only worked 12 days out of the last 103. If you or I did that, we wouldn’t have a $174,000 job anymore. They’re not working for us, & we shouldn’t accept this from our elected officials. #GOPShutdown #shutdown #SNAP

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The world is on fire and everything kind of sucks (especially in the US). If people want to decorate for the holidays now and bring some joy into their lives, let them - without comment! 🎄❄️☃️ My daughter and I start tonight! 🤪😂😁

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
