We are ONLY here because Republicans care more about money, power and cruelty than America.

The GOP let Drumpf into the party with no rules and bent the knee to a bully excusing every bad thing and never holding him accountable.

The next years are ALL on Republicans who sold America. 🤬🤬😪💔

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Mike Johnson accuses Democrats of "berating" a Capitol police officer. Wait until he hears what Republicans did to Capitol police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. It was much more than berating.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7h

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

"No amount of appeasement of Trump will work short of turning yourself into a lapdog. So news outlets have to choose. And if you go halfway, you’re basically going to lose everyone."

They don’t fear violence; they fetishize it. What they fear is happiness, because happy people don’t need saviors or strongmen.

New, from me: I break down all that is happening with the shutdown.
Shutdowns are bad. But only Trump and Russ Vought are brave enough to ask: what if shutdowns aren’t painful enough? How can we use this as an opportunity to target our political enemies? 🧵

Can't decide if it's more unsettling or stupid or someone to think that's clever response and doesn't in fact just prove our point that our rights are being trampled.

Imagine if a democrat said going to a protest will result in you losing your job. Incredible.

If you want something positive, I'd say that the current DHS strategy of using excessive force has been extremely counterproductive. Rather than actually detaining people, they're now spending significant time and resources dealing with hostile crowds wherever they go.

A social media warning label will give parents and children new tools to protect themselves from the risks social media can pose.

In California, we will continue to prioritize young peoples’ mental health.

More from @politico.com : www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Social media must warn users of ‘profound’ health risks under new California law

It’s the latest state to mandate such warnings, advocated by the former U.S. surgeon general.

NEW TODAY: A deep dive on Tim Parlatore, Pete Hegseth’s longtime personal attorney.

He has a key role in Hegseth’s efforts to restrict news reporting in the Pentagon, and a history that includes defending alleged mobsters, accused war criminals, and President Donald Trump.
