"It’s comical that this big, brutal warrior would get on the stand to say that he literally felt assaulted by a sandwich exploding on his uniform. It’s more comical, though, that Dunn’s attorney then showed Larimore a photo of the sandwich on the ground. Wrapped. Not exploded."

"The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader." NYT, October 15, 2025

The regime in the White House is making devastating cuts to the social safety to finance tax cuts for the super rich. And the richest man in the world, who used his wealth to get this regime elected, is on track to be paid $274 million every day for the next 10 years. Oligarchy.

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

I thought this Washington Post headline about Elon Musk needed a bit of context.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

Makes more sense now

It pisses me off that NBC Nightly News showed actual footage from this presser and neglected to mention the guy from Novo Nordisk keeled over seconds later. And there was no mention of this now-iconic photo. Just, yay, cheaper weight loss drugs. No visuals of the sociopath sociopathing.

Day 290 The beef between the DOJ and Sean Dunn came to an end yesterday when he was acquitted on assault charges after throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer. The DOJ had tried to secure a felony charge, but the grand jury thought that was baloney. High steaks. You are all caught up.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Absolutely hilarious answer from Van Epps, calling Trump & Johnson’s Epstein files cover-up “a deliberative approach” 🤔 Matt clearly got Trump’s support in TN-7 because he will cover for pedophiles also. This was embarrassing👇🏽 ( @aftynbehn.bsky.social is a vote to release the files)

"When you're a star, they let you do it." 🤞

These are dark times to be sure. But I believe future generations will look back on this scourge and see not just what was destroyed but also what was born. Many of you are now sowing the seeds of fundamental reform. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mo0FnoBC7yc

REAL TALK - IS TRUMP FUCKING HIGH RN?! Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa with 237 MILLION people. Also its 45% Christian or 106 million. GN has been fighting a counter insurgency against Islamic terrorists for DECADES. we were helping them stop Boko Haram. GET HIM OFF ADDERAL

“The constant use of the word [terrorism] to denote unreal threats creates unreality. And unreality inside key institutions degrades capability. Security agencies that have been trained to follow political instructions about imaginary threats do not investigate actual threats.”

Trump says it’s “probably illegal” for seth meyers to be anti-Trump (Hard to imagine a better endorsement of Seth’s show)

“He said administration officials claimed they now have the authority to bomb people who are merely “affiliated” with groups that Trump has designated as “narco-terrorists.” But under questioning, they refused to say what “affiliated” even means.”

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.

"Took advantage" is an obscene euphemism for "raped." And the evidence that he did rape girls is in the fact that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than have us see that evidence.

MUST WATCH: I interview @jaketapper.bsky.social about his new counterterrorism book Race Against Terror. AND I ask him about Trumps mental capacity & WTF is happening in the White House. Watch on YouTube. Jake Tapper On National Security, Terrorism & Trump's Competence youtu.be/UAauJa9pwP4

The Trump administration mocks and dismisses protesters as "elderly hippies" but this underscores how truly terrified they are of the power of protesters.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

JD Vance says his wife isn't a Christian. At least they have that in common.

🤬🤬

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian." He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Without Black Americans, y’all wouldn’t care about South Korea. I learned about Juneteenth in 1994 at school in Osan Air Base bc it was celebrated by the military, every year, on base. That is how many Black Americans were in country.

Trump: “my numbers are up” Reality:

“So none of these Democrats are communists… people need to stop throwing around the C Word, it’s insulting to actual communists.” Another Daily Show gem

BREAKING: Trump just TAXED Americans another 10% for imports from Canada…. All because of a commercial that was run during the World Series. What a child.

Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

Knowing full GD well that children were inside.

The infrastructure renovations during Obama's administration were approved during the Bush administration. Just saying because apparently some are floating misinformation. Not that other presidents haven't done construction, it just wasn't Obama spending the $376M to have it done.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

HARK! President Pedo took back control of the narrative this week. All he had to do was kill more Venezuelan fishermen, bulldoze the White House and shit on everyone. Can we get back to sharing meme protest signs, frogs, and demanding the Epstein files now?

Q: Your response to people who say you haven't been transparent enough about demolishing the East Wing? TRUMP: I haven't been transparent? Really? I showed this to everybody that would listen. 3rd rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third rate reporter. Always have been

Raskin: I heard speaker Mike Johnson refer to a hate America rally, but that one already happened on January 6th, 2021

There it is. Sua sponte.

REAGAN: “When someone says let’s impose tariffs, it may look like they’re doing the patriotic thing… but over the long run trade barriers hurt every 🇺🇸 worker.” 🇨🇦 Ontario just ran this👇🏽powerful ad using Reagan’s voice against Trump’s trade war during game 7 of the ALCS ⚾️
