“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

It's fascism.

Call it what it is.

🚨 WOW: Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice says the Russians "undoubtedly" have all of the information shared on the Trump administration's Signal texts.
Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more?

Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history.

Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

This is the state of the media today:

If you state the simple, obvious truth—that the president of the United States is mentally unstable and engages in mentally unstable behavior injurious to the nation and the world—you have to fear for your job.

Pathetic.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

KRISHNAMOORTHI: You don't believe that Lutheran Family Services is a money laundering operation, correct?

REYNOLDS: *dissembles*

KRISHNAMOORTHI: Is the Lutheran church a money laundering operation? Of course not!

REYNOLDS: I can't speak to that

1/ I keep returning to one core thought: civics education really matters. It’s absence, at least in part, is what makes a Donald Trump and a MAGA movement possible.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one
More from Zuck: "We're bringing back civic content. For a while the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed, so we stopped recommending these posts. But it feels like we're in a new era now..."

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

Our nation is lacking today the precise qualities Jimmy Carter personified: honesty, decency, and selfless service to a greater good.

May his life remind us of those virtues and may his passing inspire us to revive them.

Rest in peace.

This week reminds that:

We don't have an energy shortage
We don't have an insulin shortage
We don't have a housing shortage
We don't have a teacher shortage
We don't have a labor shortage
We don't have a food shortage

We have a billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny us basic human rights.

Dems are the opposition party so we need to act like it. Make this our mantra…

“If you don’t like anything…that’s going on in this country at least in the next two years, Democrats are not involved….this is on Republicans. If you don’t like it, you need to look at them.”

There is no way Musk and Ramaswamy can slash $2 trillion out of the $7 trillion budget without cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (which make up close to $5 trillion). So if that's the goal, they're talking about reducing these programs. The math is simple.
Friendly reminder: The USG spends $290 billion on personnel. If you fired EVERYONE who worked for the federal government, you’d save 5% of the budget. You know where most of it goes? Defense and back to us in Social Security and Medicare.
Musk, Ramaswamy vow “mass head-count reduction” in federal government
