The US hit an all-time high $38 trillion in national debt, thanks to Donald trump. This marks a +$500 Billion jump in October, or +$23 billion per day, again, thanks to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is bad for the economy, business, and your pocket. Support MAGA, lose money.

Big props to the Social Security Administration for letting the people they serve know that they are open, but limited in service, during the shutdown, and that self-serve on the website is an excellent option, if possible. Without violating the Hatch Act and making baseless political claims!

Just a reminder that Republicans own this shutdown

"Viewpoint diversity" is ever only invoked to force the inclusion of rightwing dogmas. You never hear any "viewpoint diversity" advocates clamoring for Buddhist perspectives, Navajo ideas, or Zoroastrian ideas. True viewpoint diversity has nothing to do with American left-right politics.

The Trump administration is adamant that people not take or share photos of the White House destruction, so please keep this photo amongst us. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings

We decided there were just too many great signs at yesterday’s “No Kings” rallies to stop at a Top 15. So without further ado, enjoy the Top 40 “No Kings” signs, curated by our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski. Follow along this thread — here are 31-40:

Don’t know him or where he was, but DAMN, it makes me feel great to see this guy, this sign and this American.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Friday night in Downtown Portland: a play at Portland Center Stage, delicious pho at Luc Lac. The city appears to be full of interesting people having fun. Nothing burning down (at all).

Sic semper tyrannis.

Argentina gets $20 billion, Qatar gets an airbase in Iowa, while our soldiers are being fed by food banks. Orgs like Army Emergency Relief are stepping in amidst Trump’s shutdown, and you can make a donation at any of the links in this thread:

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.  The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees. Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

I desperately hope that the upcoming No Kings marches are very large, very noisy and very explicit in the condemnation of armed federal agents cavalierly violating 4th amendment rights. This is not okay

This is the lesson of 2025

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

Rep. Ted Lieu is so good at this.

This is heroism. An uplifting story.

Working around the clock? You just gave the Republican House Conference yet another week off during a government shutdown.
