I feel like someone besides the President should have a say in this. This is OUR national heritage, not his personal home.
omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Northampton with thousands lining the streets to say #NOKings.
I've noticed my FB post has attracted so many fake profiles commenting with really gross, racist, sexist, profanity-laced memes. Really underscores the importance of being in person at events like this.

Northampton MA, midday today, Pulaski Park. State rep Sabadosa speaks. (Hear the horns from motorists responding to the overflow crowd in the street to the left.) @sabadosama.bsky.social #nokings @in-slwm.bsky.social @julie-2025.bsky.social
Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror
Illegally plans to shut down an agency created by Congress.
Director Vought, laws may be burdensome for you but there is no carve out. We all follow them. Join us.
This kind of stuff is disgusting and, sadly, not at all surprising.
A super PAC supporting a GOP gubernatorial candidate in MA is running digital ads of Gov Healey wearing a sombrero. And also a clown face.

To be clear, using such a cultural identifier as an insult is racist. The MA GOP better come out against that, fast & loud. If they don’t, that speaks volumes.
Pulling funding from Congressionally approved projects but this we can afford?
Our money to bail out Argentina!

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.
Share it over and over and over.
The Government is shut down because the GOP would like to see people spend 30% of their income on health care BEFORE co-pays and deductibles.
All to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.
Truthfully, I had to Google Lee Greenwood... doesn't seem like a role model to me, but I did love the fact he is on his fourth wife but fifth marriage.
Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

Everything about this is disgusting.
I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Yes, this feels much, much more realistic based on what we are seeing with claims.
No one feels optimistic about this economy; no one feels like things are going to be okay and they can spend money.
We should call this impending recession the Trump death-spiral.
BREAKING: The number of jobs created in August has been revised from 54,000 down to -3,000.
If you are turning to social media to look for medical advice, here are my two cents: call your doctor, your local health center, or your nearest clinic where trained health care professionals work for advice.
Headed by the guy who keeps trying to send troops into US cities while defunding local police and health care? No thanks.
Trump: My plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body. The board of peace… it will be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump… everybody wants to be on it now. They named me and everyone wanted to be on it.
So Jeffries praises the guy who cozies up to Trump to avoid criminal charges?? And is choosing between the Republican, the guy who had to leave office because he was sexually harassing people, and Mamdani. How is this a choice??
In statement, Hakeem Jeffries has some praise for Adams's record, and says he will "publicly weigh in with respect to the remaining candidates in the Mayor’s race well before the start of early voting.” (That's Oct. 25.)
When the U.S. withdraws from reporting to the @UN_HRC, it weakens global accountability + undermines our values. State leaders must show the world that #HumanRights are non-negotiable. #UPR #Item6 @stateinnovation.org
What an excellent next step in making damn sure the best and brightest all leave America to go to universities abroad.
Exclusive: The White House is developing a plan that could change how universities are awarded research grants, giving a competitive advantage to schools that pledge to adhere to the values and policies of the Trump administration.
White House considers funding advantage for colleges that align with Trump policies
The proposal has the potential to transform the government’s vast research funding operation, which has long awarded university grants based on scientific merit.
wapo.st
The US Military? Does this not read like a declaration of war?
He really seems peeved by anyone who is antifascism. No prizes for guessing why.
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."
