Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

No. Insurrection Act then Martial Law

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

“Greatest economy in the history of the world”

Reporter @virginiagewin.bsky.social interviewed 19 current and former US federal agency scientists about the science being dismantled at EPA, NOAA, NASA, CDC, NIH, & USGS. They say it's making America unprepared for environmental and public health crises. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them

Share! Shocking 😳….

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.” It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

The idea of the U.S. military “training” against their fellow Americans is pretty damn dystopian. www.axios.com/2025/09/30/t...

Praising Eric Adams is dumb, unnecessary and only serves to condone corruption and lawlessness.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

This from a senior U.S. government official reads like a translation of a statement by a Soviet apparatchik from the 1930s, or a Maoist one from the 1960s.

Take off your masks sissies

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Just sayin’

Cuomo is a bad man. Everyone who has worked for him knows that. Do not rank him.

I wonder if Qatar is rethinking that luxury jet? #TrumpWar #RepublicanWar #MAGAWar

In NYC, I'm anti-Mamdani. But may I say the Democratic establishment is SO pathetic? They couldn't be bothered to recruit or unite behind a better alternative than the repellent Andrew Cuomo? REALLY? In NYC, where Dem big shots live and have clout, indeed where both Dem Hill leaders are from? 🤯 🤯 🤯

Do not forget!

America has had only ONE REAL KING...and his name was.. "B.B."!

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

History Repeats Itself🤷‍♀️

“The enduring legacy of Trump's trip may be the transformation of the Middle East into a global AI powerhouse, despite massive risks to the U.S...In deal after deal, Trump opened the door for the Gulf to obtain the world's most advanced AI chips.” What could go wrong? www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

A U.S. citizen stopped upon re-entering the country and asked his opinion of Donald Trump. Terrible. “I’m an American citizen. You can’t just stop me at the border and be like: ‘What’s your opinion on Donald Trump? You’re not allowed to enter the nation.’” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Oh My, I think he might be correct...😱

Thank you, @RandPaul, for going after the GOP caucus. They deserved it.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

Perfect response as always, AOC 👏🏼

Me Too! But we know the answer!
