People aren't as dumb as Republicans think. He's on an ego-tour of Asia, boycotting talks to end the shutdown, and cutting people off SNAP benefits even though there's $5B left in the contingency fund.

Breaking WaPo: The White House just fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that was expected to review some of Trump's construction projects, including his planned arch in Washington. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is so fucked up.

Coffee prices are up 21%. Ground beef prices up 13%. Big reason why? Trump’s chaotic tariffs on Brazil. I voted to repeal these tariffs along with every Democrat and a few Republicans, and it PASSED the Senate. All eyes now on House Republicans who are still on vacation.

Jonathan Karl breaks news in "Retribution" — reprinting the calendar page where Mike Pence kept notes from the heated conversation he had with Trump on the morning of Jan. 6. Trump to Pence: "You'll go down as a wimp ... I made a big mistake 5 years ago." tinyurl.com/bdub2m7u

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

One year ago

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

The states say suspending SNAP "is both contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act," and "irreparably harming their states." "A harm that increases every day SNAP benefits are delayed."

Last November, Trump became the first convicted felon to be elected president. Roughly a year later, he's still pushing to wipe away that historic conviction. #FelonPresident #Pinks www.axios.com/2025/10/28/t...

The real question is: Why the hell do they keep giving him cognitive tests?

Americans love Canada! Trump? Not so much.

The president is in Asia while the U.S. government has been shut down for almost a month.

For the first time in modern history, Donald Trump is shutting down SNAP. That means 42 MILLION Americans will miss out on food assistance funds starting November 1. Donald Trump is choosing to let mommas and their babies go hungry.

New in PN: The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter intimidation "If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

Earlier this year Johnson and Johnson announced $55 billion in new investments in U.S.-based plants. Most were in Trump dominated states, including Texas. This doesn’t seem super smart… #RadioFreeAmerica www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...

Nick Fuentes: "It was December 18...That's Joseph Stalin's birthday. I'm a fan." Tucker Carlson: "You're a fan of Stalin?" Nick Fuentes: "Always an admirer." Tucker Carlson: "Well that's uh...Okay. We'll circle back to that." Spoiler: Tucker never circles back.

Trump: "People don't care if we send in our military, if we send in our National Guard, if we send in Space Command, they don't care who it is, they just want to be safe ... we're gonna go into Chicago ... we can do as we want to do."

get a load of Trump's brain flitting from topic to topic as the troops stand there silently

Love AOC 😂 Meanwhile, Trump’s still trying to remember where the hands go on that clock.

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Man, I can’t stop thinking about the folks in Jamaica. This hurricane looks like it’s going to be brutal.

Why did Trump's doctor order an MRI?

Over the past eight months—coinciding with the Trump administration’s inconsistent messaging on support—Russia has conducted more strikes on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure than during any comparable period of the war.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

The cruelty is a feature, not a bug & SNAP benefits are weaponized in disgusting ways to smear beneficiaries. My thoughts on how Trump is pissing away money while denying financial assistance to lower-income households, including children, the elderly, & the disabled. youtu.be/lfn8LXy3-Mw?...

Great. 🫠

"Trump tariffs force cancellation of Hudson Valley's long-running Christmas festival. Organizers said tariffs 'tripled' costs of stars and lights..." www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

Trump’s tariffs give him a new way to dole out rewards and punishment. Experts warn that this will surely devastate America’s economy—and its democracy.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Heads up: Indiana's Republican governor just called a special session to consider a new congressional map. Trump and JD Vance have been pressuring Republicans in the state for months to further gerrymander their map.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. She was elected more than a month ago.

He doesn't care about law. He doesn't care about rules. He doesn't care about the country. He doesn't care about truth. He doesn't care about right or wrong. He only cares about himself. And most importantly—what he can get away with.

This means war.

What a disgrace. And what an embarrassment for @cnn.com.

"Are you enjoying my favor, or suffering my displeasure?" is the only real throughline in Donald Trump's approach to "governing." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/totally-br...

The only thing that will ever fix this deeply damaged man is heart failure.

Trump praised him as a “friend,” a “great American,” and a “patriot.” The banking institution tied to the Mellon family (BNY Mellon) has faced lawsuits for financial ties to Epstein’s network.

Fox News is attacking anyone who criticizes Trump's destruction of the East Wing of the White House @jimacosta.bsky.social did a straight forward 'man on the street' segment about it and Jesse Watters made it seem like Acosta had some sort of emotional breakdown about it. He didn't.
