A non-negotiable for Democrats in the 2028 primaries is that they must promise to expand and reform the court. The Supreme Court has lost all legitimacy to rule and it needs to be completely overhauled. Nothing less would be an abject failure and acquiescence to Republican ratfucking of the court.

A wide-ranging FBI sting has ensnared some of the top law enforcement officers around multiple Delta counties, in what the agency is alleging amounts to a “Delta drug conspiracy.” buff.ly/qVM7tUz

Jennifer Ludden of NPR notes that about one of every eight Americans gets an average of $187 a month in food assistance. Most of those who use SNAP are children, older Americans, veterans, people with disabilities, and working people

That’s Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Center, nephew of William F Buckley and one of many Council For National Policy members who worked to oppose anti-apartheid efforts in the 1980s. Also, his son was one of the first rioters inside the Capitol on Jan 6. Got four years for it.

How to determine if you're under an authoritarian government, In an authoritarian structure, the authoritarian believes that the people are accountable to the authoritarian and in a democracy the leader believes that the leader is accountable to the people.

This week, SCOTUS is hearing a case that essentially boils down to GOP states trying to silence black voters. Justice Kavanaugh is musing that racism might be over and the Voting Rights Act should be dismantled. Meanwhile the headlines coming out about Republicans this week:

Oh. Huh. Hm. Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

"They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day, the guy is falling downstairs. He said, It’s not our President. We can’t have it. I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs for, like, a month, stairs, like these stairs, I’m very—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record.

Thank you to the US Military leadership for their decorum and conduct during today's weak attempt by Hegseth and Trump to coax them into applause etc. They didn't take the bait because they aren't pathetic, weak, and misguided like Sec Def and POTUS. We are all fortunate for them and their service.

Okay I stopped taking Tylenol now where is my MedBed?

This is amazing. I was in Moldova last year, and saw all the corrupt money Putin was pouring into that country trying to buy the vote. If Moldova stands against this, Europe and democracy wins

Take a moment to ponder what the press, not only Fox News, but the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, TIME magazine, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, your local news channel would be like today, if Vice President Kamala Harris @kamalaharris.com had said this.

"It could only good happen. Don't take it. Don't take it!" - Donald Trump

Pretty sure the Soviets built airbases such as Bagram and Shindand. Hell, in Shindand I lived in a room that was: Soviet officer quarters ➡️ Taliban ➡️ US ➡️ Taliban 2.0

In June, 29% of Republicans were concerned about the direction of the country; now that number is 51%. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Imagine if Obama had Tucker Carlson kicked off the air

Maybe they should invest in a blue state that won’t cooperate with ICE instead of always fleeing to the union busting south.

I asked a Meta whistleblower: Did Meta stop research projects on child safety? Did Meta restrict info researchers collect? Did Meta modify research results? Did Meta require researchers to delete data? His answer: Yes, yes, yes, and yes. That says it all.

The Epstein Birthday Book Is Even Worse Than You Might Realize www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible. Manson didn’t kill anyone himself. But he was responsible. Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible. Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible. Justice matters.

ok I know I've already posted this one but I really gotta link to it again bc we've seen panel seven play out a couple times this week already, and this "White House raises questions about Trump's signature" bullshit is a prime example of panel six. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Every once in a while it’s worth highlighting how there is an extreme amount of heinous shit on Instagram that the company knows about but that they obviously don’t care about fixing. One could write an article like this every single day and never scratch the surface www.404media.co/instagram-ac...

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket." This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

the answer to "why has the supreme court gone insane" is the same as the answer to "why has elon musk gone insane" is the same as the answer to "why has my uncle gone insane" which is that people mostly mirror the prevailing beliefs in their social environment and they're immersed in nazi media

Mike Johnson: “It was a mistake to say President Trump was a confidential FBI informant. He was actually an undercover agent for the KGB.”

Mike Johnson would say literally anything about anything. Words are just noises he makes with the hole under his nose to manipulate people and situations. No connection whatsoever to facts or truth. Just like Donald.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

I would love to see the thought bubble over the heads of tech leaders listening to this bubbleheaded nonsense from this person who prolly does not know how to operate a cable remote. But more embarrassing? That they were there like greedy toadies pretending it was serious.

There’s a reason the White House is pushing hard against this discharge petition.   I’m signing so that the truth comes out. The survivors of Epstein’s abuse—and the American people—deserve answers.

As a gov shutdown looms, the GOP is in the House engaging in more politics of the absurd and helping to cover up the Epstein files for a WH that is threatening Members if they sign on to a discharge petition. To my colleagues across the aisle—do what is right. The petition is there at the desk.

I don't care what Pam Bondi or Donald Trump or anyone in this government has to say about it, however I will 100% believe every name provided by Epstein's victims.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

A diplomat from Russia buried her face in her phone to avoid seeing the crimes of her country while Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko addressed the UN Security Council. Svyrydenko was showing a photo of a child's body killed in a Russian attack.

It’s really important to remember that Republicans are cruel and mean and ruthless as any bully, but also like any bully they are a bunch of piss-pants cowards who run crying to their favorite podcasts when they get mean looks in restaurants.
