So the GOP has taken these stances on the Gov shutdown: 1. Epstein files? What Epstein files? 2. The GOP cant govern. That is the Dems job and those meanie Dems made the gov shutdown 3. We have vid of some Dems saying Healthcare is a basic right, so we are raising the price on all Americans

Question: If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within, what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

I am sorry to all the POC that us white people didnt protest more when the kidnapping started When the GOP starts grabbing white people, and NOW suddenly white people are alarmed. I am sorry It was a five alarm fire the minute the first brown person was grabbed. Not when the first white person is

My heart goes out to all the people who, like me, take meds to deal with chronic health conditions This is an unnecessary cruel act by the Trump administration. People will be forced off their meds and, in some cases, die.

If the GOP implement tariffs (quasi-sales tax) to raise funds to pay farmers a bailout for trade problems(GOP caused), how is that not the GOP taxing people to pay for the farmers' vote? To me, this should be illegal. The public shouldn't be paying farmers to vote GOP

Just saw the book Trump wrote complaining about the UN and demanding an investigation He is simply regurgitating the crap that Fox News says We have a weak minded fool running this country

I cant help but feel we are going to see 1 shocking news story after another until people forget the words "Release the Epstein Files"

Nothing makes me focus on the suffering of women and children more than this administration blaming Tylenol for autism. Speaking of victims... Release the Epstein Files

It should go without saying that any company that associates itself with the group suppressing free speech is gonna lose money The little people are pissed

The only tv rodent I still have faith in is Lemmewinks I can just imagine him traveling up the arse of Mordor(Trump) past the army of butt kissers and ghoulish billionaires to stop the beating heart of Moron(again Trump)

Kimmel should donate a box of adult diapers to Turning Point USA It would be more thoughtful.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

So wait. Fox News and the entire Right Wing has trashed the left without evidence for days as being the cause of the violence Kimmel correctly refers to the Kirk shooter as being MAGA and his show gets canceled? Heartbreaking to see our freedoms dying and so many morons cheering for it

Imagine that. Stephen Miller's racist quotas is ruining things

The news should consist of 3 things right now. 1. Where are the Epstein files? 2. WTF has ICE done now? 3. Genocide The 4 letter racist should be forgotten and the more we type his name the more he is discussed I am gonna start resisting in this little way. Don't let the Right control the convo

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Ok.... taking a news break for the rest of the day Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stays safe This was one awful week Gonna take the wife skydiving for her birthday. She so cool

Weird, I write one post and my feed goes blank. Wonder what happened I try to be chill with my words so I hope this is a network thing and not trolling

The film industry suffers from remaking the same action movie over and over Reminds me of the era when westerns were constantly being remade Cash grabs that occasionally have a fun supporting cast to make up for the weak story and repetitive lead casting Lazy producers make lots of bad movies

So Pete Hegseth insisted on changing his title to "Secretary of War" from "Secretary of Defense" That's right. Hegseth had to be a SoW. And he makes for one bitch of a Sow at that.

Makes ya wonder if Trump's economy will make it to Xmas

The WH threatening any Republican that signs the Epstein discharge petition. It’s 100 percent clear Trump is covering up criminal child sex trafficking

We need to clear up things for people who claim they are "centrists" or moderate It is obvious it is all about the money for them. Most likely social issues prevent centrists from labeling themselves left/right, which is pretty weak Their distaste for social issues corrodes our Democracy

Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

At least once a week Trump reminds us the country is bordering on collapse. Remove 1 card and poof... Biden ate ice cream about once a week. Rocking economy. Didn't threaten the public. Great choice Republicans

10 bucks says this is the entire purpose of their press conference They think they are "owning the libs" by asking Trump if he is dead

I just want to say to all the independent journalists, scientists, doctors and yes even lawyers, who have kept the general public informed during this crapfest of GOP administration-- THANK YOU. Really the list goes on, but I am starting with that. Thanks to @BlueSky too for providing a safe place

So... Trump does a photo op with Putin and a week later is MAYBE on death's door??? I guess Putin gave Trump the old radioactive isotope butt spank Pretty damn fishy

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Making my own post about this. The sandwich guy getting arrested by 20 guys with some using riot shields is a perfect likeness of the movie Gladiator Crazy despot(Trump) using personal army to end democracy and impose authoritarian rule. Sound familiar? Sandwich Guy: "They call me, Subway"

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

This thread really speaks to me. My family gives soft jabs about not believing everything you read on social....duh I compare the posts of professionals and extrapolate any themes. Skeptically When various fields are all complaining, things must be going bad. I gave up on sharing results

A coworker who previously lived in Jersey during 9/11 screamed something similar at me when I said Gitmo was an awful idea and torturing folks for info was an awful idea We stopped talking. Closest thing I could get to a work divorce

What happens when you defund schools for 22 years under a GOP supermajority? krcgtv.com/news/local/m...

Superb and scathingly sceptic post (by ⁦‪@bryce.lol‬⁩, natch) on Morgan Stanley’s prediction of a $3tn data centre capex boom. on.ft.com/3U4pHks

Anyone else feel like we should have had a Trump List a long time ago? Let's compile a list of all of the creeps who have gone to Maralago and turned a blind eye to the NUMEROUS crimes committed there

Rep. Al Green: DOJ’s letter targets 4 of 38 Texas districts, all represented by people of color. Watch Rep. Green’s full remarks on YouTube by clicking here: youtu.be/2aG49V1N78Y?...

Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas

Stephen Colbert and the team at the Late Show was the ONLY thing I took the time to watch on CBS I don't need to watch anything there anymore Advertising there is a waste I have boycotted Fox News and their networks for years. This will be easy

Me: Trump is selling snake oil My daughter: I bet it smells like spray tan

I think MAGA is one dustbowl away from the good Ole days now The diseases, lack of civil rights, and inhumanity have already made their comeback.

Drew just sent me this

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?
