“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this. 1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline. Chaos on repeat.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

Trump's PR secretary was telling the truth (for once) when she said the ballroom was his top priority. Yikes. "he talks with a tone of childlike wonder when he discusses his ballroom, convenes regular meetings on the project, and even gushes about the kind of elite galas he’ll emcee..."

He told everyone who he was and what he was going to do. And yet those who voted for him seem surprised. Just a year ago too. Seems like a decade

28 October 1938 | Dutch Jewish boy Rudi René Hond was born in Amsterdam. In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. --- A short video about the first two gas chambers created near Auschwitz II-Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

My two takeaways on this: 1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there. 2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

Goodness gracious

Don't watch Maddow tonight if you own a smart phone and ever want to sleep again. All about the spyware ICE is using. And that this Admin is using on all of us. JFC.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Millions of Americans (kids, veterans, disabled, seniors) are about to face food insecurity -- possible starvation even -- because of Trump's Epstein Shut Down For example: MI: 1.47M OH: 1.39M PA: 2.00M GA: 1.41 M

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

It never fails, the folks that scream false-flag are the ones that engage in such activities

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Duffy Discovers States' Rights Don't Apply To Blue States, Threatens Funding

Who's raising this incel??? metro.co.uk/2025/10/26/t...

To be clear: this is complete bullshit. The 12th amendment states that anyone who is ineligible to run for POTUS is also ineligible to run for VP.

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

📌 Kudos Rachel Maddow for breaking this down for us 🐥

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

We voted for their farms because we know Democratic policies are better for farmers. Unfortunately, farmers didn’t vote for their farms. And they’ll keep voting Republican.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I think about this ALL the time.

Tell me more about the greatest country in the world…. 🙄

From everything I’ve found outside social media: HILLARY CLINTON HAS *NOT* ENDORSED CUOMO IN 2025 @hillaryclinton.bsky.social, you might want to pipe in

Davids: I’ve heard some of my Republican colleagues encourage Donald Trump to be transparent about this idea of importing beef from Argentina. I’ll just say this — we don’t need transparency to know this policy is garbage. We need to be supporting American ranchers, farmers, and this ain’t it.

When donors build what taxpayers can’t see...democracy has a transparency problem. The danger isn’t that it’s a bunker—it’s that you’re not allowed to ask.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war. “Seizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go. 1/2

UPDATE: This ad just ran again during the World Series 🇨🇦 You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAKE. Reagan said it. Trump is lying.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

PAYCHECK $0.00 A single dad holding back tears on national TV because his federal paycheck can’t cover food and rent, while Trump’s building a $350 million ballroom at the White House. Is America great yet?

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

Trump & Power-hungry Republicans across the country are writing the next horror story: “The Death of Democracy.” They are trying to make the US a 1-party country like Cuba, North Korea, or Russia. But Prop 50 is the twist ending we need & you can be the hero. #VoteYesOnProp50

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

No, you mfer. That is not the goal of the health system.

Susan Collins Democracy Alert Level: “Concerning.”

🚨”The real animals are the ones that have HSI across their shirts.” I am grieving the realization that humanity was only “a thing” because this kind of gross dehumanization was illegal. ICE is hate. 1/2

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.

Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

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.

On one hand: federal workers are stuck without pay, bills piling up, families stressed. On the other hand: bailouts, luxury projects being pushed ahead as priorities. Is this America first?

Trump nominee for Ambassador to South Africa won’t affirm voting rights for black Americans. This should've been an easy answer, yet, like most of Trump's picks, they refuse to answer directly. They know they're in the wrong and only work to support their authoritarian leader.
