The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.

Republicans Made This Mess — Democrats Just Cleaned It Up for Them
While Republicans partied at Mar-a-Lago and cashed shutdown paychecks, Democrats gave them an escape hatch.

Across this country, nearly one in five renters is now severely burdened by rent, paying more than half their income just to keep a roof overhead. From cost to cost, working Americans are being crushed by rents that rise faster than any paycheck.

For my New Mexican friends.
On November 1, millions of working Americans will lose food aid.
All because Republicans refuse to fund the government unless Democrats let health care costs rise.
They would rather starve the people
than admit the people deserve to live.

Donald Trump just threw a late-night tantrum over an advertisement created by the Canadian province of Ontario, which featured Ronald Reagan’s REAL words expressing his dislike of tariffs. Trump says that, as a result, all trade negotiations with Canada are “HEREBY TERMINATED.”
If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

Pay attention -- what he means is allowing Democrats to win a free and fair election.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

The Peoples House. Remember after they lock you out, gild it in gold, destroy it, and build a ball room you will never be invited to see...just remember...for a glorious moment...it was The People's House once.

I got an ad where Jay Block was bragging he was “brave” for voting no on paid family leave to stop a “tax hike.” That’s a lie. What he really did was side with business interests who didn’t want to pay even 0.15% of payroll into a fund that would help their own employees care for themselves.

Quarter three of the fiscal year just closed, and already many companies are reporting strong profits. I think it’s worth pausing here to remember that profits are the unpaid wages of the working class.

I want to talk about the illusion of the middle class or the "labor aristocracy”. A layer of workers whose modest comforts depend on the exploitation of others abroad. A way to appease the working class, and help prevent revolution.

Why are the farmers destabilized, Scott?
Bessent: "The Chinese have unfortunately turned our soybean farmers into pawns. They're trying to manipulate them and our farmers overwhelmingly back President Trump. They know that he has their back. And we can't implement the programs we want to stabilize the farmers' finances."

Meiselas: A reporter asked the question that I've been saying over and over again to MAGA Mike: do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your health care plan?
To me, this is probably the most important clip about what's going on with the government shutdown, because the Republicans have no plan.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

I don’t think people realize what’s being stolen from them with AI. You spend years learning, practicing, and refining a skill. Something that’s uniquely yours, something you can use to make a living. AI takes those years of experience, packages them up, and gives them freely to capital.
