He lied about Project 2025. But, that's what pathological lying liars do...

Donald Trump didn't commemorate Jane Goodall's death with a tribute. But he did fling his feces.

I'm asking YOU:

What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family?

What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care?

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Here are three more factual statements:

1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care

2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.

3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.

Just yesterday Trump promised to spend a record $1 trillion on the military — roughly half of which will go to private defense contractors that price-gouge the government.

Remember this when Trump or Republicans talk about "sacrifices" that need to be made during a shutdown.

I’ve lived through government shutdowns.

Under normal circumstances, I understand why compromises are made to keep the government running.

These are not normal circumstances.
Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

How can you negotiate with Republicans in Congress to fund the government when as soon as you reach an agreement you know that Trump’s OMB director will just withhold the funds?

Trump is bankrupting farmers, raising prices on everything, and killing jobs with his tariff mania. Republicans in Congress own all of it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"
