Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Stop calling them "anonymous" donations (for the ballroom and military pay). The donors are fully known to the government. The Trump Administration is just letting the donors hide their identity from the American people.

I can't think of any non-corrupt reasons to allow this.

New in PN: The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter intimidation

"If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression

Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

A while back I wrote that Trump had made real progress on every item on the authoritarian checklist except elections, because of state control over running elections. But it was clear that he would use the legal system and state co-partisans to also gain control over elections.

The US president is teasing different ways that he falsely claims he would be "allowed" to violate the plain language and obvious intent of the US Constitution.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin used exactly the method he falsely says he is "allowed" to use, to remain dictator for the last 26 years.

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

ICE is a profit driver for the private prisons, and large corporations like Amazon, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, and FedEx who spend millions paying off politicians to get ICE contracts.

We can’t abolish ICE until we end corporate and dark money in politics.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair

This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

BREAKING

President Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Any settlement will ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him.

That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

Just went through TSA and said I was sorry they were having to work without getting paid on schedule. One said they will lose their health insurance if it keeps going much longer. Another said several have told him they are going to start looking for other work soon. Great job, GOP.
