Thank you to all veterans for your service to the American people and in defense of the Constitution!

Es Schneit. ❄️🌨☃️

If I’m the DNC, I’m buying ads targeting college towns that say “Republicans kept you from seeing your grandparents this Thanksgiving,” and everywhere else that say “Republicans kept you from seeing your grandkids this Thanksgiving.” That may hit hard.

Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to pause an order directing it to release SNAP benefits in full. The request came after the administration said it was working to release the benefits, suggesting the money was going to be dispersed.

While Trump’s lawyers file an emergency petition with the Supreme Court tonight to do everything they possibly can to avoid paying SNAP benefits to the needy so they can starve, Trump flies to his country club for another weekend of parties and golf.

I like to think I am a "Warm Demander."

NEW: DOJ alleges that James Comey authorized someone “at the FBI” to anonymously engage w/ the media. But documents suggest that that “someone”—Daniel Richman—may not have been officially employed by the FBI during any of the communications cited by prosecutors www.lawfaremedia.org/article/more...

Trump to Americans right now

MAGA likes to throw out their “Chinese spy” bs line against Swalwell every time he is winning an argument, meanwhile Trump has been pardoning convicted Chinese spies every month for personal benefit.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

Trump is now cutting air travel just before Thanksgiving. Who does that?

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said he’d be “apoplectic” if former President Joe Biden acted the same way Donald Trump is regarding recent military operations in Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea – a rare public rebuke from a member of Trump’s own party. www.rawstory.com/james-lankfo...

The Pentagon accepted a $130 million anonymous donation to pay active-duty troops during the government shutdown, a move that raises questions about private funding. The contribution will only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation. Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

This weekend is my Costco run weekend. Will be loading up a cart for my local food pantry. If you are able, please do the same. The need is enormous.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

…

Seems like an important detail

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

A GOP-led plan to move the Discovery space shuttle from the National Air and Space Museum, which has housed the orbiter since 2012, has set off a fight for its future. The Smithsonian said the Discovery cannot be moved without being taken apart.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Fetterman has nothing to say when Mike Johnson & House leadership calls millions of Democrats protesting at No Kings communists, Hamas supporters & antifa who hate America, but if you suggest Trump might be ruling like an autocrat he is quick to run back on Fox to condemn it.

I have to wonder if those two prosecutors from North Carolina in the Comey case are just like “omg this is so fucking stupid.”

Seven of the nine universities that the White House initially approached about a plan to steer more federal money toward schools aligned with President Trump’s priorities have refused to endorse the proposal.

Despite strong pressure from the Trump administration, colleges and universities, such as MIT and the University of Pennsylvania, are largely rejecting Trump's offer of preferential treatment for funding in exchange for compliance with his priorities.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000
