Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback. www.reuters.com/investigates...

This is one of the biggest lies he's told. If the Mall its dirty, maybe he should retire the Interior employees the idiots at DOGE fired.

Time for the holiday trash to come out.

Witkoff is a god damn fool

Only Trump could turn a holiday turkey pardoning ceremony into a dystopia speech about the state of the nation.

This is what happens when the votes not close, MAGA cant scream bloody murder about the results. www.timesleader.com/news/1725278...

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

You could walk from Puerto Rico to Venezuela without getting your feet wet, there's so much Naval hardware in the Caribbean.

This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6

This is how #framewashing works. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Trump's audience in calling for sedition charges against Democrats isn't just them, it's also members of his own party. He must intimidate anyone thinking of walking away from him because of Epstein/economy/Ukraine with threats of arrest/violence. He's keeping people of his OWN party in line.

The geography of this will be interesting. I doubt GOP frontliners will want to be anywhere near the rambling, sputtering, gobbledygook, political poison known as Trump.

This guy doesn't want people to believe what they can clearly see in their cupboards or pocketbooks ...

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.

I mean, there's "out of touch" and then there's whatever the fuck this is: "They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Awwww-Hahahaha. Hahahahhahahahahahhaaha.

It looks like one of Saddam's palaces. American government style is meant to be understated. This is some gaudy shit by a guy with zero style.

Seriously. This should be enough to keep the government closed.

Magnets? What the fuck are those

(1 of 3) I used to negotiate for a living, and I'm trying to determine how many basic rules of negotiation these eight schmucks who somehow stumbled into becoming United States Senators violated. The list seems endless. For instance, if your negotiating partner is fucking crazy sociopathic ghoul...

The Democratic Senators who negotiated the shutdown end couldn't even bring half the caucus over. They just cut a "deal" and said the hell with everyone else who was fighting. And this is the headline we get because of it. www.axios.com/2025/11/10/g...

They are trying to grab the high road by saying they are walking away from a fight with a bully. But everyone who's ever been on a playground knows that's not how you stand up to a bully. Sometimes you gotta fight even if you don't want to.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

It is very notable that several Dems are putting out strong statements that effectively backhand members of their caucus

What the Senate Democrats agreed to is NOT a deal! Its a capitulation to Trump and his ghouls who are letting familes starve, are actively trying to destroy the social safety net, and are willing to let people go uninsured. How did so many Democratic bedwetters get elected?

And Trump is appealing an order to release SNAP funds. Because he refuses to abide by a law that requires him to distribute the money. An administration full of ghouls.

Duffy is acting like this is some nebulous event happening to the Administration, ignoring the reality that Trump's clown car holds all the power levers.

They go too far.

A lot of Republican flailing and yelling into the wind about the shutdown today. They are lost and panicking. The Dems need to hold the line for ACA subsidies and government employee back pay. www.cnn.com/webview/poli...

Now is not the time for democrats to cave on the shutdown. They can get both ACA subsidies and ensure backpay for government employees if they hold the line. AOC and Bernie need to rip hearts and lungs out this morning and make sure no one wavers.

Spanberger looks...dare I say? Presidential!

Any Dem reopening the government is helping Trump and Homan to kidnap more people. There is absolutely no benefit to re-opening the government. They're telling you every day that when ICE gets more money, it's gonna be full on disaster. If your Senator is offering up a CR, they're on Trump's side

a) there was no bathroom originally there. Truman renovation installed the bathroom & created what is the "Lincoln Bedroom" b) luxurious Victorian water closets would never have been made w/ marble, because it stains & you can't tell if it's clean or not. they used white porcelain lies everywhere!

Republicans are mostly to blame for the shutdown (and I've said this since September). But Democrats knew that Trump flanked by Russ Vought would use SNAP as a pain point. Still, there's only one person who can end this: Trump. And he's shown no interest. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ridiculous. They control all three branches. If the GOP need votes, then they should be trying to cut a deal, not just bringing up the same damn bill every day.

Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

They're building tent camps in PA, Utah and Kansas for the middle of winter.

Its fucking ugly. They took a shoebox and added some shitty gold leaf. The architect must have done it on budget in case they didn't get paid.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

The Senator has his eyes wide open and sees the threat.

Proof that Democrats want to govern, and are concerned about the nation's health. It's absolutely insane how the CDC has been essentially destroyed and public health communications has been undermined by MAGA. Dem Govs form public health alliance. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The assault on the Constitution continues. Trump labeling the press a threat to national security is setting the stage for an illegal attack and crackdown on the press we usually only see in banana republics.

Anywhere from 3 to 6 million people attended the June protests. They were considered to be the largest single protest march in the history of the country. Duffy can't fathom that not everyone is in the Cult Of Trump.

That noise you heard were thousands of brains twisting at the same time.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Signal needs to add a mushroom cloud emoji. I need more than they're offering to express myself today/
