The Trump regime is openly at war w/a #FreePress Never has a President done more to weaponize his administration to attack, degrade & endanger journalists.
Cancel the WHCA dinner PR stunt.
Attendance with Trump present will be a scarlet letter that identifies the sanewashers & democracy-washers.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

For more than 50 years, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) has served as a cornerstone of marine conservation. But newly proposed legislation threatens to gut these critical safeguards. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #MMPA
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) produces less than 1% of all food in America, but it consumes more energy than all open-field agriculture in the country. flanigansecologic.transistor.fm/episodes/dr-...
Without a bipartisan budget agreement, health care premiums will double on January 1, 2026, for 90% of the people covered by the Affordable Care Act. On the same day, the GOP’s reconciliation bill will make tax breaks for the super-wealthy permanent.
In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify dissenters, I have to ask "Why?" This isn't patriotism -- its control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/IajADcM9
Stripped for Parts, a documentary about how newsrooms across the country are being decimated, is available to watch on PBS through October 31. www.pbs.org/video/stripp...
Thank you!
This FCC does not have the authority, the ability, or the constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for speech the government dislikes.
Free speech is the foundation of our democracy, and we must push back against any attempt to erode it.

If Russell Vought had escaped your attention so far, my Businessweek colleague @chafkin.bsky.social wrote a great profile earlier this year that gets into what exactly his whole deal is. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...
I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.
This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.
I want control over my family’s health -- but everywhere I look, I see suspicious “research” trying to scare me or sell me something. Enough! I don’t trust anyone who claims miracles. Give me scholarship and verified healthcare—not hype. #TruthBrigade

Just because you get a deal, doesn’t mean it is a good deal for America. Right now, a Japanese car is subject to a lower tariff than a car made in Canada, with American parts and some American labor.
