From another post: Once again Franklin Graham is asking for prayers for Trump: If Trump dies before I wake I Pray the Lord the news ain't Fake.

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Last week, I demanded the truth about Donald Trump’s call with Mohammed bin Salman regarding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Now, I’m being targeted in a sham investigation by DOW for calling this administration out on their corruption. I'm not backing down. We will get the truth.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I think Glenn Close deserves this award more than Eddie Murphy www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Ok. So what’s MTG’s long term play here?

I wonder if Trump is hiding a stained blue necktie?

It feels like it's going to be an insane news night tonight but for better or worse I have tickets to Stevie Nicks and dammit, I still intend to go.

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

I visited the Tybee Island Lighthouse. Originally built in 1736, it is one of seven remaining colonial era lighthouses in the US. It has survived fires, a Civil War, hurricanes, and even an earthquake. Not a bad place to be compelled to visit on a gray, rainy day. @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

So basically Melania just pretends to be with him on the limited special occasions in her contract?

This bathroom looks like the set for an unpleasant scene in a Ingmar Bergman film where the storyboard just says GRETEL CONFRONTS ALIENATION

CBS News endured a “traumatic” day Wednesday, as David Ellison’s Paramount slashed hundreds of jobs in a sweeping round of cuts. @nataliekorach.bsky.social has all the details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-news-l...

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Why? www.cnbc.com/2025/10/24/t...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza was not about achieving peace, protecting Gazans or supporting Palestinians. It was a real estate deal. Nothing more. Let’s call it Atlantic City 2.0. IYKYK.

How is it possible that Donald Trump has inflicted more destruction on the US in 9 months than Bin Laden achieved after 10+ years of planning?

He's doing to the White House what Osama bin Laden wanted to do, and we're all supposed to just sit there and watch?

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

From another post: The Trump Ceasefire™️ is about as real and long-lasting as Trump Steaks™️, Trump University™️, Trump Wireless™️, Trump Coins™️ and, allegedly, even Trump Himself™️.

This is what Democracy looks like. #NoKings

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

NEW: Jim Jordan wants to question Jack Smith about his search of Mar-a-Lago, but Merrick Garland executed that search months before Jack Smith was even appointed. One of several lies in this letter demanding Jack Smith's testimony. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

Yes, color me shocked.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

If you were making a new version of The Big Chill, who would you cast in place of these original actors: Kevin Kline William Hurt Glenn Close Jeff Goldblum Meg Tilly Mary Kay Place Jo Beth Williams Tom Berenger And… Kevin Costner ????

She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

I think it’s time for the American version of the Bolshevik revolution.
