Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

Pepper ball rounds Trump immigration agents are firing at protesters: www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/v...

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder... “I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown. This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Trump says he’s increasing tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by 10% because Ontario’s commercial that accurately used Ronald Reagan’s words about tariffs made him sad

It just got 10% dumber. Not a joke: Trump just imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on Canada because he still doesn't understand that Reagan was a vehement free trader. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

Popok: Letitia James appeared in court today in Virginia, and she's already filed multiple motions against the DOJ, Trump, and Lindsey Halligan. The first motion is a motion to dismiss because Lindsey Halligan has been improperly, illegally appointed to be the U.S. attorney.

Rand Paul should name names.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Doug Ford's ad using Reagan's words slamming tariffs just aired during the World Series

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs. Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Is that Jonathan Karl blaming democrats for the shutdown? Corporate media is ridiculous.

JUST IN: Israeli officials halt the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and ramp up military strikes after accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire. Israeli officials are pushing for military operations to resume “in full force.”

NEWS: The Gaza "ceasefire" is collapsing before our eyes as both sides accuse each other of violations. There have been major Israeli military strikes across Gaza today. Yet, MAGA Mike is going on TV and calling for Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings, said Tuesday that Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom would 'overwhelm the White House itself,' which is about 55,000 square feet..." www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

What an absolute disgrace

That’s not how I expected the second half of this headline to go. “Part of White House Reduced to Rubble” should be followed by “What the Fuck.”

We just sat down with AZ AG Kris Mayes moments after she filed a federal lawsuit over MAGA Mike's refusal to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva. Mayes didn’t mince words: “There’s no legitimate reason. Except, of course, that she said she would be the last vote needed to release the Epstein files."

Ezra Levin: A hallmark of authoritarianism is it makes you feel like shit on a daily basis. That's what it does. And so in that environment, during this authoritarian breakthrough moment, celebrating success is an act of defiance. #NoKings @indivisibleguide.bsky.social

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

🚨 Married GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales allegedly had an affair with his senior aide, Regina Aviles — who was found dead after she supposedly doused herself in gasoline and set herself on fire, per The Daily Mail. Uvalde Police are blocking release of the 911 call, video & records. (Daily Mail)

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network has officially been named the #1 publisher in the country and The MeidasTouch Podcast the #1 podcast overall according to new industry data released by Podscribe, the leading independent audio and video analytics firm.

Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win. Kander: That shit pisses me off. Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

The Trump administration claims that "Americans will experience disruptions to Social Security services" due to the Republican government shutdown. There is no legal requirement for this. Trump is threatening to hold your earned benefits hostage.

The shutdown robs us of this Friday's jobs report. The ADP report has stepped into the void. It says jobs fell by -32k in September. But be careful: The absence of the BLS data doesn't make the ADP numbers any more reliable. And they haven't been very useful in the past.

It's official: 🏛️➡️ 🚫

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
