Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

I'm now convinced this is an imposter, and not the same ghoul who hounded David Hogg on the street.

The system is fucked.

The Supreme Court is so illegitimate that cases are often about fictional matters with plaintiffs who have been harmed in no way, now to the point where they are not aware that they are plaintiffs in a Supreme Court case.

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

New plot wrinkle!

“The essence of democracy and freedom is being unpredictable... Loving your country means being with other people.” — Timothy Snyder #NoKings

Oregon is proud to stand with Illinois in their lawsuit challenging the president’s unlawful and unnecessary deployment in their state.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

The Trump administration has now reversed the layoffs of a lot of federal employees. At the CDC, officials said some staff were mistakenly terminated due to a procedural error.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members. They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment. He is a seriously unwell individual.

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

“The cat is such a perfect symbol of beauty and superiority that it seems scarcely possible for any true aesthete and civilised cynic to do other than worship it.” - H.P. Lovecraft

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th” 👉👉 nokings.org

Tariff money is not a Trump Regime slush fund. It is tax money deposited into the US treasury and Congress has sole authority over the appropriation of tax dollars.

She certainly didn't hold back!

That’s quite a telling statement, Stephen Miller. I guess you’re calling all the shots now?

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina says a coup is underway after soldiers joined the Gen Z revolt.

Goodwill has priced itself out of the range people it was supposed to assist. Please stop giving to them. Let their inventory dry up! youtube.com/shorts/ISRWz...

It’s pronounced cyclist.

"Business leaders – panicked to the point of paranoia about a candidate whose most radical position seems to be 'free bus fares' and not, you know, 'seize the means of production' or 'wheel out the guillotines' – will surely salt the earth out of spite, but they'll just be hurting themselves."

The new pope is quoting Hannah Arendt. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Do you see where this is headed?

The Trump administration recommends you do not get vaccinated, even though Trump gets vaccinated.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

Smithsonian museums, research centers, and the National Zoo temporarily closed Sunday due to the federal government shutdown.

House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans. How did that work out for the extremists the last time they tried it?

Let me talk to you a second. If you are having a rough morning, please stop what you are doing. Turn everything off. Turn the volume up, and just chill and listen to this once or twice or more. It's such a chill vibe. 🥰 The rest of the day will be better. 🥰

#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Good morning, friends! You're juggling so many responsibilities, balancing countless projects & handling challenges that others probably aren’t even aware of. Yet, you're giving it your all. Celebrate your resilience & treat yourself with kindness & love. Give yourself grace.
