if she wins and gets Collins out and is a one term Senator I’ll still take it, getting Collins out of the incumbent chair is important

Was Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership trying to double participation in No Kings on Saturday or did they just stumble and bumble their way into doing that?

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Since we are almost at Halloween, I would like to remind everyone that nobody is giving out THC edibles or gummies to your children.
That shit cost more than whole Hershey bars. We may be high, but we’re not THAT fucking high.

The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets

Powell on Trump's immigration policies: "Stronger policy than most people had expected. We've seen a very sharp decline in growth of the labor force and in and people entering the country ... new people that come into the workforce create supply but they also create their own demand."

Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."

CAPE VERDE, POPULATION 560,000, QUALIFY FOR A FIRST-EVER WORLD CUP 🇨🇻

The second-smallest nation ever to achieve that feat. Every US state has a bigger population, yet the Blue Sharks are on their way to football's big dance. Astonishing and inspiring 🦈

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The Faroe Islands locker room was quite rightly hyped after the territory of just 55,000 people stunned the Czech Republic 2-1 🥳

It’s their third straight World Cup win, arguably the biggest in their history, and leaves the Faroes one point off a World Cup play-off spot. Truly remarkable 🇫🇴

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Journalist must be safely allowed into Gaza as this transition is occurring.

A free press is the only guarantee that every day people will be protected.

A free press is central to knowing the rules are being followed.

A free press is essential to peace.

Rep. Mark Pocan @pocan.house.gov · 1d

Today is an important day - the remaining Israeli hostages were released, Israel freed Palestinian prisoners, and the bloodshed in Gaza has stopped.

It’s now time to rebuild. As I said before, it can’t go back to an open air prison, it must be a place where Palestinians can thrive.

The NFL needs more flags. Feel like the game is most enjoyable when there’s a flag on every single play, as opposed to every other play.

Mockler: Did he ask Garland to go after someone? Trump sent a dm to Pam Bondi. This is unprecedented.

Downey: Garland, who sent the parental rights memo

Mockler: Biden, asked him to do that when?
