the thing about the venezuela invasion is that we need to see the epstein files

it is incredibly funny that Matt Taibbi, who considers himself very internet savvy, does not seem to know, or hopes to pretend before a judge that he does not know, what the word "owned" signifies in internet-speak

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle. This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Good one!

Good ones!

I shot some people on Fifth Avenue today.

Nothing in recent weeks has come closer to articulating the gut punch that I am feeling, and maybe that you are, too — those of us raised on Schoolhouse Rock and Emma Lazarus's "The New Colossus" and Pax Americana — than this did. via @thebulwark.bsky.social

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

dizzying

I can nazi anything else after seeing this image

Pelosi's also a no

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Thrilled to see @gavinnewsom.bsky.social settle into his role as the Democratic version of Ted Cruz -- pretending to run for president, but really living out his dream of becoming a podcaster no one fucking wants to listen to.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable. I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

Not planning next year's flu shots? Sounds bad. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Ok that made me laugh

Speaking of dumb, Tom Homan openly confessed to a corrupt quid pro quo on live television and thinks it's a federal crime to inform immigrants of their legal rights under the Constitution.

Embarrassing. He's addressing his NATO counterparts in Brussels acting like he's at a Trump rally or on location for Fox at a rodeo.

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

this is a challenge to overcome, but how?

It difficult to keep up..... he's moving so fast

Excellent post

I could not have done this without my two @macdowell1907.bsky.social residencies. Artist residencies are invaluable for taking time and space and meeting other people who are trying to live a creative life.

Four years ago today, when Facebook suspended Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, Mark Zuckerberg said "the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great."
