The White House has historic landmark status and should be protected from a monster tearing off a limb.

Fox News Guest Column: “I’m glad Trump is demolishing the White House to build a ballroom while the government is shutdown and I can’t afford meat. This is why I voted for him.”

Bloomberg: The US has refused to support the "Big Seven" plan to transfer €140 billion in frozen russian assets to Ukraine.

Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and it’s parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

Whistles take over Chicago as the small, inexpensive device becomes popular way to alert of ICE activity

Walk & Talk - An anonymous Senate Dem, John Fetterman or Angus King, or one or two others, are throwing shade on the No Kings rally Saturday; why these people are in Congress is beyond me, they run when everything in the world says to fight like hell youtu.be/699nPSQFDGU?...

Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan and Ukraine need to cut out Trump from any further negotiations about Ukraine, because Trump represents Putin & not the West.

When Putin arrived in Alaska, Trump met him personally & rolled out the red carpet. When Zelensky arrived in DC, NO US representative was there, only Ukrainian Embassy staff. There was no red carpet. Trump has allied with Putin against the West.

Since Trump has now clarified that he supports Putin & is not prepared to do anything for Ukraine, he & the US should be cut out of any discussions about Putin's war in Ukraine. The EU, the UK, Canada, Japan & Ukraine should do so. Why is the US still a member of NATO?

We have to face reality: 1. Trump & thus the US support Putin & not Ukraine, the West, freedom or democracy. 2. Ukraine can produce nearly all the arms it needs itself. 3. Europe & the remnants of the West must provide Ukraine with the necessary financing to defeat Putin.

I have persistently argued that Trump is Putin's obedient servant and that all his objections about Putin have just been insubstantial statements to delude his base that he is not Putin's obedient servant. I am afraid that I have been right all along: Trump serves Putin.

A serious problem in the US is that it has become generally acceptable to lie. This took quite some time, but Trump is the apogee of lying. Fortunately, his crude lying is making it publicly acceptable to say that Trump (and others) lie.

It looks like Ukraine after a Russian cruise missile attack

Texans can no longer afford the state fair in Donald Trump's economy. Or they fear the secret police. Or both. Either way, this represents nearly a 20% DROP in attendance over last year. Republicans have managed to kill a huge revenue source for the state and hundreds of businesses.

I know this sounds like an overstatement but I would walk into traffic for Brookie. If you're in PA please adopt her. Look at that face.

I think a lot of us are having various feelings of sadness and disgust at this latest vandalism and I just want to remind you it’s ok to admire and respect OUR White House and want the person occupying it is be worthy of the responsibility. It isn’t cringe to WANT to love your country.

Social media is going to be increasingly flooded with posts like these over the next 6 weeks.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting. I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him. Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

When you have something to hide…

Censoring everything.

We own that house. Release the photos.

Boy they really underplayed the damage. And no mention of whether it’s legal or permitted.

The second email on Sept. 15, also sent by AIPAC, encourages donations to Angie Craig in MN, Haley Stevens in MI and Laura Fine in IL-09 Links to all three of these candidates lead to the same "Pro-Israel Network" donation page using Democracy Engine as the vendor

Here's my original story that explains this discrepancy. Many (maybe even most) of her donors are marked by "ActBlue," but over 150 are unmarked meaning they appear as individual donors in FEC filings evanstonnow.com/aipac-donors...

As I reported Friday, over 150 of Fine's donations making up over $300,000 came through donors with deep ties to AIPAC and histories of supporting candidate through AIPAC But none of Fine's donations I identified were earmarked through ANY organization or conduit

So...what appears to be happening here is this: AIPAC is soliciting donations to campaigns through its emails to donors, including links to hidden webpages using Democracy Engine LLC as a vendor and the donations show in FEC filings as direct donations from donor to candidate

AIPAC is dangerously foreign interference with American elections. Wonder why the democrats are not calling this out in the same way they did Russia….. Oh wait they are being helped by this interference….

Russian State TV Pundit Says ‘Putin Understands Trump All Too Well’ and ‘Can Manipulate Him’

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

So how many gov't msgs are getting deleted off signal? Illegally.

wow, someone didn't see "Superman"

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

“No normal American could ever afford to have something like this made” lol set my aunt free in hobby lobby with $20, she’ll have it done in 2 hrs

By the way - everything I ever skeeted is off record. Just letting you know.

This is all amazing, especially the part where Halligan (the prosecutor pushing the Comey and James cases) says in their Signal chat, “By the way—everything I ever sent you is off record." As @annabower.bsky.social notes, and as Halligan ought to know, it doesn't work that way!

Federal workers have missed their first paycheck due to the shutdown and most are gearing up to miss even more. With no end in sight, federal workers are drawing down their savings accounts and retirement plans. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social and @emmarjanssen.bsky.social:

The original reporting from back in September and the information provided by the authorities and the Congressman paint a much different picture of what we are now learning. It’s stunning to read the reporting from then and compare it to new reports.
