Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Kavanaugh Stops…on US citizens. To be clear: I don’t believe anyone of any immigration status should be subject to this treatment.

Pro-Hitler Young Republicans. At the inauguration 👀

Yup. Notably, neither Tom Homan nor anybody else in the Trump admin has outright denied that he took and kept the $50,000 in taxpayer money given to him by the FBI in their bribery scheme.

Every time they’re asked, they either pivot or attack the questioner. But they don’t deny it.

For anyone who dismissively says the #NoKings marches are just rallies, not protests: that's cool, 'cause RALLIES ARE GREAT! :-)

Mass rallies like this are KEY if you want to eventually build to a general strike, for example.

This is organizing, step by step. See you on 10/18!

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

This should be a far bigger story than it is.

Mike Johnson is refusing the basic constitutional right of representation to hundreds of thousands of Americans.

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis.

OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come.

MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money

MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

Vote YES on Prop 50

California! Go drop off your ballots today to vote YES on prop 50. Getting this lil email that your vote was received *AND* counted feels so good. 🥰

Judge Illston says the "evidence suggests" OMB & OPM "have taken advantage of the lapse in government spending, government functioning to assume that all bets are off, that the laws don’t apply to them any more."

The thing to understand about Chief Justice Roberts is that he would rather be seen in the history books as Roger Taney than Earl Warren.

Vote YES on Prop 50

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I'm excited to share that the Detroit Red Wings have brought back their Best in Class program for teachers, which was an awesome honor (and an absolute blast to take part in.)

Everyone, the days of NOT CREDITING photojournalists and video journalists are OVER. You MUST CREDIT photographers and videographers who are risking bodies and lives.

Also very important, we can't verify without knowing sources.

No one is being singled out. But from now on, you will be CALLED OUT.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
