They didn’t drain the swamp. They sold VIP tickets to it.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

Rep. Dean is correct—Trump is unwell. Scarier is that America isn't being run by Trump, but Stephen Miller. Miller is so much crazier that it's the difference between a rabid homicidal skunk with a swastika tattoo and a kitten that vomits and bites when petted. Miller directs the DHS/DOJ agendas.

"You don’t need to be a mental-health professional to see that something’s very seriously off with Trump—particularly after nearly three years of watching his erratic and abnormal behavior in the White House." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Jane Goodall was a hero who used her life to make the world a better place. If the world uplifted and amplified people like her over fascists and billionaires, the world would be a very different place. #3E

Jane Goodall on Donald Trump: “I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another

In a new interview, Howard Lutnick reveals the reason why Trump, Bondi and Mike Johnson have been working so hard to cover up the Epstein files, which we pretty much already knew but now it’s coming from someone who was friends with Epstein. nypost.com/2025/10/01/u...

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

It’s going to take a lot of time and money for the next Democratic president’s administration to remove all this tacky crap.

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.

We are now in the domain of not just illegal impoundments, but targeted illegal impoundments to punish liberal spaces. Not different from what Trump is doing to to universities.

Priorities.

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

There was no characterization. That’s what he said. But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

When reality hits.

A whopping 38% of Russia’s refining capacity is now offline, according to The Economist. Gasoline output fell by 1 million tons in September which has created a 20% domestic shortfall. Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts. BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

Also in this clip- Johnson repeats the lie that Democrats want to fund healthcare for undocumented immigrants - that is flat out false This is #DonaldTrumpsShutdown because he and Republicans want billionaire tax breaks over health care for Americans

CBS REPORTER: “Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for the health care subsidies. Can you clarify what you’re talking about?” TRUMP: *compares heart sizes, rambles about immigration, makes it clear the talking point is a lie* (parroted by Burchett)

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

FLASHBACK — TRUMP ON A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN 2013: "Problems start from the top. The President's the leader. he’s got to get everybody in a room and lead.”🤔

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Trump is posting racist AI videos, saying ‘I don't need to deal with them’. JD Vance is lying about what Democrats are asking saying we want to fund healthcare for illegals, which is impossible and doesn’t happen.” Bad faith. #TrumpShutdown

NEWS: Mike Johnson just refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva AGAIN, leaving Arizona's 7th without a Congresswoman during the shutdown, and preventing the 218th signature to force the vote on the Epstein Files. Just over 6 hours until we shutdown. I have the latest.

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

Russ Vought: "Let it be said -- there are all manner of authorities to keep this administration's policy agenda moving forward, and that includes reducing the size and scope of the federal government, and we will be looking for opportunities to do that."

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

🧑‍🌾 @timmiller.bsky.social on the Trump FARMER BAILOUT: “Tariffs caused a trade war, farmers can’t sell… and now you and I will have to pay them. The stupidest policy I think I’ve ever seen. A land speed record for policy disaster.” The very tariffs he said would help them are killing them.

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are being arrested based on ‘how they look’

Capitalism and corporatism have been exposed as global scams—thus, the rise in fascism. Fascism is profitable. The alternatives aren't. We must unite in solidarity against authoritarianism and corruption. ✊

Stephen Miller has been lying to Donald Trump about what's happening in Portland because Stephen Miller knows that Donald is dumb enough to believe anything.

"The Trump administration will launch a program to find out how much money an artificial intelligence algorithm could save the federal government by denying care to Medicare patients... "It will affect patients in AZ, OH, OK, NJ, TX, and WA starting January 1..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

"Because of changes that are starting to roll out from Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill... about 2.4 million people could lose access to the food stamps per month... "Millions more will see their monthly benefit amounts shrink because of changes mandated by the law... www.cbsnews.com/news/food-st...

I keep using the term "non compos mentis" to describe Trump because that's how he's acting. It's beyond his longstanding history of total ignorance, habitual lying, and constant exaggeration. He's genuinely disconnected from reality and often incapable of expressing coherent thoughts.

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.
