has anybody seen Jake Tapper. perhaps he was kidnapped by aliens

Look, I’ve been incredibly outspoken against the very real problems the gerontocratic Dem power structure has made for itself, including its submission to corporate interests, but if you keep a fucking Nazi tattoo on your fucking body for LONGER THAN A LITERAL DECADE that’s a *you* problem.

BLUE. JAYS. WIN.

"Whether people like that or not"

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

Let the herpes covid monkeys ruin us

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

US Senate votes to rescind Trump’s tariffs on Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There has been a lot of hay made over the Kim Davis challenge against Obergefell at SCOTUS, whether or not they'll decide to take up the case. IMO, I'd pay a lot more attention to efforts like this to erode gay marriage:

Reminder:

I get a real chuckle out of Republicans saying year after year they are coming up with a health care plan, but never actually showing us what it is. Republicans gutted Medicaid. Now they want to gut the ACA too. That’s their health care plan.

WASH POST: “A federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop… an officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting — and all charges against the man were dropped.” 🤔https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/10/27/dc-traffic-stop-shooting-dispute/

Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers. Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom. Gee, I wonder why?

28 days of government shutdown. 0 days of justice for the Epstein survivors.  Mike Johnson must stop protecting pedophiles and release the Epstein files.

Just in: Zohran Mamdani caught calling someone "bro", but our investigation has unearthed the truth. This person was not, in fact, his biological brother. Why did he lie? Tune in tonight at 10 for this and more breaking news.

So he’s the most unpopular president in recent history, by far. Why does the corporate media coverage not reflect that?

More illegal boat strikes by the US, this time killing 14 (with one survivor) in four separate attacks off eastern Mexican coast. Once again, no evidence or legal justification provided. Bears repeating that these strikes are illegal, immoral, and ineffective

The racism is just… out in the open.

We live in an episode of Veep

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

"Ceasefire"

NEW: A federal judge lambasted top Trump administration officials over “troubling” comments they made about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, saying many of them are “exaggerated if not simply inaccurate” and threaten his right to a fair trial.

Corsi was evidently the go-between connecting Roger Stone to Julian Assange in the 2016 election plot. It remains a bit of a mystery how he avoided federal charges despite leaking his plea agreement paperwork and backing out of the deal he’d struck with the SCO. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Complete disregard for human life

Setting aside that Medicare-for-all especially is extremely popular, there’s a bigger point: Political parties shape public opinion. If Democrats just follow polls, jettisoning morally correct, good policies because they aren’t immediately popular, they’ll lose every battle. And deserve it.

The Pettiness of It All open.substack.com/pub/marytrum...

TEN YEARS AGO WRITER: "How about a novel with a crazy president who can't stop talking about his new $300 million gold ballroom while millions of Americans go without food." AGENT: "That's a little heavy-handed. No politician would be that stupid. Come up with a more subtle, believable scenario."

Democratic erosion but for public health. They are slowly grinding the infrastructure into bits. So dangerous. Children will literally die.

This is literally everything the Democratic Party has been doing for the last 40 years, what exactly are they asking to change? You practically have to threaten a Dem elected with being drawn and quartered to talk about anything other than health care (in the vaguest terms possible, of course).

This thread makes a point I find myself coming to often these days. It's hard to make this point in a way that doesn't sound like a threat, but it's just a fact that for centuries the wealthy in America worried that the mob would come get them and did all they could to avoid that fate.
