The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million from an emergency food assistance program that delivered meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks across the country. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.

For @johnfugelsang.bsky.social, Christianity is about “siding with the underdog and the marginalized,” but the right has “hijacked” rhetoric around the faith “as cover for meanness.” He says many turn away from organized religion because “they’re turned off to all the cruelty and hypocrisy.” #Velshi

Hey it’s Russell Peters night in Riyadh - it’ll be a fantastic night for all at the comedy festival - well, probably not for Manahel al-Otaibi as she’s spending 11 years in prison for being “outspoken” about women’s rights www.amnesty.org.uk/urgent-actio...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Stephen Miller looks like the villain in a movie about tax audits.

So. Who is taking bets on how long this time?

NEW: Reuters took a closer look at violent crime in D.C. after President Trump began a show of force here. Despite the big investment of federal resources, it's really hard at this point to see any dramatic changes. www.reuters.com/world/us/did...

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Who could have known this would happen?

Sen. Andy Kim: "What Donald Trump is clearly showing is that we do not have three functioning branches of government — we have one branch trying to dominate the other two, and we see congressional Republicans acting as if they are cabinet members in Trump's administration."

When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.

Insurance companies are planning to raise rates on working families—all because President Trump is refusing to work with Democrats to protect access to health care. It’s going to devastate Americans’ finances and make people sicker.

Ret. General Mark Hertling on the speeches presented by the Secretary of War and the POTUS to top military officials: “It’s illegal.” m.youtube.com/shorts/R0A0G...

This is the Democrats’ shutdown message right here:

We noticed you liked and reposted our pin post so we challenge you to share this

I'll never forgive my fellow Americans for electing this utter piece of shit. They enabled an entire government full of the worst human beings imaginable and most Americans are too ignorant to even understand what they've done.

California leads. Thank you @governor.ca.gov 👏 #Dontpokethebear

Some pumpkins are great, some aren’t. 🎃

These are bad people and they’re proud of it

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress just shut down the government. Why? They don’t want to lower your health care costs.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Wouldn’t this be lovely…🫶🏼♥️🫶🏼 #VoteDemocratic #Pinks

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Donald Trump SHUT DOWN the government last night. Why? Because he and Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the whole government than lower your health care costs. It’s shameful. www.youtube.com/shorts/TvQQ8...

BREAKING: U.S. private companies lost 32,000 jobs in September, far below expectations of a 51,000 gain, payrolls processor ADP reported Wednesday. This marks the biggest decline since March 2023. t.co/wSC5ra79e3

Everyone: Hello, we would like society to improve. Billionaires: Too bad, go scream into the void instead. Everyone: Okay. Billionaires: Also, we have bought all the voids. It now costs $100 to scream into the void.

AOC: Donald Trump is trying to play this bluffing game of, well, maybe what we're going to do is hold the entire all the federal workforce hostage and fire everybody. Donald Trump has been firing everybody.

Why does David Brooks still have a job at the @nytimes.com ? Day 5. @sulliview.bsky.social

Greetings from war-torn Portland. It rained yesterday. I had a delicious fresh hop IPA. The grocery clerk told me about her labradoodle. Pray for us.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

Is Ted Cruz lecturing us on being nicer to pedophiles?

From the Onion:

What happens when a miscarriage is treated like a crime? That’s not a hypothetical anymore. It’s happening in the U.S. right now. 🧵 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ezra Klein is never ever ever going to say he’s wrong. He knows he’s wrong, though. He just thinks he’s smarter than y’all.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
