For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.

Shutdown City, baby It’s Wednesday. There are 398 days until the midterm elections. A Reagan judge fights for freedom, the Trump economy blows and Republicans can’t govern for crap.

Of course they did.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.

Another brutal jobs report. The economy lost 32,000 jobs in September, and August was revised from +54,000 all the way down to -3,000. That’s not just a slowdown—it’s a collapse. The economy is clearly in trouble under Trump, and Republicans are still in total denial.

It’s a bad look.

So “America First” is a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, US economic development of Gaza, and NATO-equivalent security guarantees for Qatar. Got it.

His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution. We’re in a very bad place.

And ... scene.

“Health care for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.” The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

Naturally Trump’s mouth gift wraps a perfect lawsuit for every government worker he fires after he makes it clear he is doing it solely for politics and is specifically targeting civil servants who are registered Democrats. He basically wrote their lawsuit for them today.

America is in the midst of a self-inflicted economic damage, federal government shutdown, and daily humiliation on the global stage. All within just nine months of Donald Trump returning to the White House with full GOP control of Washington.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours. It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

Quick reminder: Donald has the authority and ability to release the entire Epstein files right now

This.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Republicans don’t need a single Dem vote to keep the government open. Yet here is the banner at HUD today.

“I can’t see another reason,” Adelita Grijalva tells Rolling Stone. “It doesn’t change the majority, Democrats are still in the minority. That seems to be the only outstanding issue that I can see." Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Comically, tragically, unhinged The Bottomless Pit Of Donald's and the Republican's Malicious, sadistic, incompetence

“Moldovans are united in our desire for peace, democracy, and Europe — and in the courage to defend them.”

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year. They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency. Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Indiana Offers Tax Breaks To Attract Religious Doomsday Cults http://theonion.com/indiana-offers-tax-breaks-to-attract-religious-doomsday-cults/

I just signed an executive order calling on state agencies and departments to expedite our response to the ongoing economic impacts of the climate crisis. We’re taking a whole-of-government response to protect Californians, boost insurance coverage options, and reduce costs.

ICE are thug trash.

The Republicans want the shutdown so they can fire everyone. I think this goes to confirm that. Sad times.

Donald threatening a room full of senior military leaders. Tell me he isn't insane.

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

I'm very optomistic That a lot more bad news Is coming With this Freak Show government

Crony Capitalism The end result of all Republican Politics It's all Crony Capitalism now The Rich White Boy's Club

The campaign to force TikTok to sell or shutter its U.S. platform started out as an effort to counter Chinese influence and power. It’s ending up as an exercise in crony capitalism and political power-grabbing, johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

And we're live now with @muellershewrote.com talking about FASCISM...yes, FASCISM. It really angers Stephen Miller and MAGA when you use the word FASCISM to discuss the Trump regime.

Pure evil.

Sen. Lankford and others were "viciously attacked from the right as apostates....because they denounced political violence. That's no longer an acceptable thing to say in very large swaths of the Republican party." @jonathanbchait.bsky.social joins @monacharen.bsky.social on The Mona Charen Show:

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

I don't hate other Americans I hate Nazis I hate Fascists I hate Pedophiles I hate Rapists

Elon is still a Fucking Nazi Donald is still a Pedophile Rapist Felon Immutable facts

Until Democrats Have the equivalent of the Fox Propaganda Channel The zone will be theirs

National Review is all in on the invalidity of the Comey indictment AND the Halligan appointment. This case could be thrown out soon. www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/...

This isn’t making our communities safer; it’s a performative show of force and a waste of taxpayer dollars. It needs to end. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/28/a...
