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.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

POLITICO: “Leaders of Young Republican groups worried if their Telegram chat got leaked, but kept typing… referred to Black people as monkeys, mused about putting political opponents in gas chambers... lauded Republicans they believed support slavery…” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

Trump’s government shutdown didn’t stop the administration from doing what it really prioritized, dismantling special education.

As many federal employees were furloughed, the Trump administration quietly laid off nearly the entire Office of Special Education, leaving only a few staff.
