Really sad that the Vice President can’t just say the texts are bad and troubling and condemn them and lead for once - and instead feels the need to deflect and run cover for it and signal to young republicans that it’s actually no big deal.

Donald Trump is bragging that "This will be the longest government shutdown ever."

Fuck Donald Trump. He will NEVER break the will of democracy defending Americans. Take pride in that...and make Goddamned sure you're part of making sure that remains our reality.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Democrats are ready to stop the price of your health care insurance from skyrocketing and reopen the government. But Senate Republicans refuse to hold a vote to lower health care costs–the House GOP isn’t even showing up to work.

They need to get serious and come to the negotiating table.

Americans don’t kneel!

Jack Hopkins-The Original @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 10h

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

If you made it to the end of this post, comment 🥾 (boot) for all the wonderful DNC next gen boot camps.

And if you watched or read any of these stories, comment ❌ (x) for all the people being kicked off the ACA marketplace.

Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!

“The elite Dems can’t possibly have personal experience with needing healthcare coverage.”

@repmcgovern.bsky.social Got a few more years with his daughter, who died in April of a rare cancer, thanks to an NIH trial. He knows first hand the importance of healthcare and medical trials.

Representative Jim McGovern @repmcgovern.bsky.social · 2d

For generations, the federal government funded research that leads to medical breakthroughs & even cures.

But Trump’s massive cuts at NIH and beyond will make our country sicker, poorer, and worse off.

Like many of you, this is personal for me.

“Why aren’t any Dems sharing the ACA marketplace letters they won’t shut up about?”

@slotkin.senate.gov Is not only sharing them, she has a web page for Michiganders to send her theirs.

I don’t think I am on the marketplace, so I probably will never get a letter like this without it posted

“Dems don’t do events constituents ask them to do”

Repping the Rep @friedman.house.gov and @repbradsherman.bsky.social absolutely did. @eastvalleyindivisibles.com hosted a town hall, invited them, and they came.

They want to hear from us, that’s the whole point of “in district work period”

Rep. Laura Friedman @friedman.house.gov · 5d

Another town hall in the books! Thanks to East Valley Indivisibles for hosting. It was great answering questions directly from LA families with Rep. Brad Sherman.

This is exactly what democracy looks and sounds like.
