Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

After securing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid earlier this year, Trump is now demanding a $230 million payday from the government.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

"We're in the most perilous moment. The biggest threat to our republic since the Civil War. President Trump is shredding our Constitution."

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

If Republicans were hoping that No Kings was just a one-day event, we’ve got some bad news: Last night’s call was the largest that we’ve ever done.

No matter where you live, we’re organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power: groups.indivisible.org

Political disagreements should never be settled in the Colosseum.

They should always be settled in the arena of ideas.

It’s time to end the Republican shutdown and Save Healthcare.

Ezra Levin: A hallmark of authoritarianism is it makes you feel like shit on a daily basis. That's what it does. And so in that environment, during this authoritarian breakthrough moment, celebrating success is an act of defiance.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

The House hasn’t voted since September 19 — more than a month ago. Congress can still vote on legislation during a shutdown, but Speaker Johnson and House Republicans have refused to bring the House back into session.

This is insane. If Obama did this the GOP would impeach

Warren: "Observe the cruelty of what they're doing. I was a Special Ed teacher long before I ever got into this job... They need extra opportunities so they will also have a chance to succeed. Donald Trump wants to just take that away & Republicans are willing to just stand by and watch him do that"

Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Day 21. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until the government reopens. 
 
I’m ready and willing to support a budget that protects health care, invests in our public schools, and lowers costs for working families.

7 million marched. I will work on my scrap book today and maybe 50 years from now my grandkids will say “my grandma marched for me!”

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Honored to join the American Canyon community to celebrate The Wall That Heals exhibit — a powerful tribute to the 58,281 Americans who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. As a Vietnam combat veteran, I served alongside many whose names are etched on that wall.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The United States has never been ruled by kings, and this president is no exception. Our strength comes from our shared commitment to democracy. I joined members of our community to stand against this administration’s unjust actions. Together, we defend our rights. Don’t agonize — organize.

Vacaville you're absolutely extraordinary! The turn out was fantastic from boomers to alpha, all were represented and working towards a common cause. Millions of Americans turned out today with a voice loud and strong, #NoKings in America.
