Lucy is really going to let Charlie Brown kick the football this time. She really means it.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

I was challenged last November by a GOP acquaintance about how much better the economy would be in a year. Here's my tally, based on numbers from my community. #notwinning #TrumpTariffs #TrumpShutdown

Ladies and gentlemen: the rubble of the former East Wing of the White House. Reminds me a bit of Mayor Richard Daley taking out Meigs Field in Chicago in 2003 in the dead of night, although the public won’t getting beautiful waterfront green space out of this demo.

I cannot believe I agree with anything Marjorie Taylor Green says, but there's a first for everything.
Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

I will be at the No Kings Day of Action on the Washington Mall on Oct. 18. I am not in Antifa, I don't support Hamas, and I'm no Marxist. The only weapon I will have is a homemade sign on foam board. I will be there because enough is enough. Decent, patriotic Americans need to take a stand.
The organizers behind the No Kings Day of Action on October 18 -- the event Johnson called a "hate America rally" -- have this to say in response.
"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement"

Trump got a COVID vaccination yesterday. But if you’re under 65, and want it, but don’t have one of the risk factors, prepare to lie to get it. And if you have a child you want vaccinated, expect a tough time making it happen: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/w....

The home is owned by the judge who last month temporarily blocked South Carolina from giving the U.S. Department of Justice its entire state voter database. Wonder when Trump will demand justice on this one?

More than 60 Democratic legislators sent a letter to the Trump administration that expresses “grave concerns” about ongoing removals to so-called “third countries” to which immigrants have no connection.
Democrats demand answers on third country deportations
“We are concerned that the Trump Administration is offshoring the immigration detention system in an apparent attempt to evade the due process requirements of the US Constitution."

He actually said this.
Trump: "This is the only country in the world where you announce great numbers & the stock market goes down, bc when you announce great numbers they immediately want to take that success away by raising the interest rates. Why can't you announce great numbers and let them lower the interest rates?"
