Is this even legal? (Not that Trump would care anyway.)

When the Romans took over Greek cities, they would dismantle the amphitheaters and strip the blocks to build arenas. Forsaking literature and art to promote bloodsport sounds like pure MAGA, don’t it?

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History" Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

If you voted for this, I hope you don't get paid

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Afternoon Thingummies

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*. *Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

There are going to be thousands of settlements to compensate all the victims of Trump firings. Bet.

Hope everybody here gets up in the morning and calls at least 10 senators and 10 House members to let them know how you feel about the shutdown. Let them know that you want your healthcare and others healthcare protected Medicare Medicaid ACA kept in place I try to make at least 10 calls it matters!

FWIW, not all female bosses on the Hill have bad reputations. Plenty of them inspire loyalty because they treat their staff well. Every Warren campaign staffer I know loves her. Patty Murray has a deep alumni team that admires her. AOC treats her staff well. Same with Tina Smith

Say what you will about the failures of the American media over the past decade, I won't argue with you, but I will say this: Don't put Lawrence O'Donnell on that list. One of the few who has a pair and isn't afraid. Same goes for Rachel Maddow. Not afraid.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

October 9th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

True, it aligns with all other intelligence!

Thinking a baby is carried in the placenta = Trump Derangement Syndrome

WE coined “TDS” to describe the delusions people will commit to to worship trump…like pretending a pregnant woman taking Tylenol is more insane than being in charge of America’s health and not knowing what a placenta is…they can’t even come up with their own insults…

Is lil marco looking for his mommy in the crowd? Please someone get me out of the clown circus? You've sold your soul buddy. Once you slosh around in the shit pit, there you shall remain.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

hey stupid men, do you want women deciding how rusty the scalpel is for your vasectomy? there is such a thing as expertise, have expert knowledge in a field of endeavor. if you have 3 kids and don’t know what a Placenta is, you are unfit to make any medical decisions about anything.

Miller is WRONG. Trump isn’t a KING or an EMPEROR. He has no right to do whatever the hell he wants. Miller has overstepped himself. This is ridiculous. We’re letting some guy who wasn’t even elected call the shots here? Are we stupid? Sometimes I don’t understand how we survived 249 years? 😳

Unfortunately, I think the internet has brought out every bad actor out of the dregs of Society. The people that used to hide in the shadows now feel emboldened, because we have a monster as President, they’re not afraid to be MONSTERS too. It makes me sad that there are so many cruel people. 😔😢💔

Mainstream Media is DYING a long slow death. Trump definitely accelerated this.

Trump has real issues with intelligent, successful, black women.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @adamzyglis)

Sen. Elissa Slotkin on Letitia James being indicted: "It's part of a bigger trend of the President of the United States using the Department of Justice, using the legal system, to go after political adversaries."

All this only happened because we let one guy control the military. True democracy would be every citizen having one soldier

He wants Letitia James in prison because he commited fraud and got caught. The audacity!

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Senator Kennedy of Louisiana Chump, Says It's Up To Congress, Not You Donny Downturn.......

And she’s not nearly as smart as John Mitchell

She is a victim turned accomplice. The Pedo nazi regime abused her til she aged out. Then they groomed her to be complicit and participate in their crimes. She belived her pedo presisent when he said he will take care of her. She failed to resist. She never tried be a decentt human.

I'm willing to bet #PamBondi ends up in prison.

Someone should tell Pam Bondi she should read about President Nixon and his Attorney General. One went to prison the other didn’t. Hint, Nixon wasn’t even tried.

Once again, ANTIFA means Anti Facist! It is a concept, not a group or organization. An anti-facist is a person who doesn't want power concentrated into a person or group, like Kings/Queens or monarchs. We want democratic rule. Got it? #SheShed #DefendersofDemocracy

As #DefendersOfDemocracy we refuse to go quietly into night and pledge to fight in order to strengthen and improve the lives of all people, and secure democracy for generations to come. Here is our Defenders of Democracy team!

Because it’s completely unnecessary for anybody.

Holy Mike can’t hold up Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in ceremony forever. that 218th vote in favor of Tom Massie’s discharge petition is coming, sooner or later. buckle your seat belt, things are about to hit the fan! open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

James is an excellent role model. We all must be fearless

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck the DOJ

Republicans won’t show up to vote on paying our troops during the shutdown because avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump and his friends is more important.

Mike Johnson has had the House adjourned for weeks to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Is it really too much to ask to simply have House Republicans show up to work once in a while?

Some good news! A librarian got fired for refusing to remove LBGTQ books and sued the county, its board of commissioners, the library board, and members of both government boards for violating her 1st amendment rights, and discriminatory and retaliatory firing. www.rawstory.com/wyoming-libr...

Let’s be clear. Trump was prosecuted because he COMMITTED CRIMES.
