Tucked into a spending bill that is part of the deal to end the government shutdown is a provision that would allow GOP senators to personally sue the federal government for as much as $500K over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawful search of their phone records.

Maximus Decimus Meridius Snuggles was never quite the same after he had past life regression therapy.
One of two things is true:
1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.
OR
2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.
KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?
SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.
Amy Klobuchar laughing along and indulging him is equally offensive….the entire thing belongs in my trash bin.
Why are you telling us what we already know? Go tell your colleagues and tell them again, and again, and don’t stop telling them. This is not a difference in opinion. This is not business as usual. This should be a deal breaker for all of you.
While still existing in an Election Day cloud of joy, it’s worth saying that I hope that someone primaries my senator (Kaine), because I look forward to voting against him in 2030. I won’t forget. I hope that none of us do.
There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.
They are ALL complicit‼️
TRUMP AND ALL THE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE‼️
JUSTICE FOR ALL VICTIMS‼️ #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Speaker Pelosi set the gold standard for effective governance, always doing what’s right for California and our country.
This may be the end of an era, but the policy and infrastructure she shepherded, her legacy, and leadership all leave us ready for what’s ahead.
I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.
To Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Thank you for your courage, fearlessness and focus. You knew the issues like nobody else; you knew the challenges like nobody else: you got it done like nobody else; you were driven to make life better for the people without a voice. And thank you for being my friend.
i don’t do this often but some good folks are dealing with some serious medical bills and could use your support if you have a few dollars to spare. thank you!
He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.
How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
No, Winsome Earle Sears, girls don’t want privacy in locker rooms, we want to NOT get shot in our schools.
What's happening in Chicago is not normal.
The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.
The Dude has spoken:
"ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"
The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?
I see your birthday and raise you:
Taco Bell crunchy tacos
Bag of chips, jar of salsa
Chocolate pie from freezer section
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
