The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

In Opinion “The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

Trump is rigging maps to build a Congress that serves only him, not the people. @AOC knows the power to stop him is in California’s hands—Prop 50 is how we fight back and win. #YesOnProp50

Can someone smarter than me explain why Democrats aren’t holding a press conference in front of the demolished East Wing?

Release the Epstein Files.

We're to the point where this man literally lies as often as Trump ... as in every time he speaks. I didn't think that was even possible.

Donald Trump managed to stall these prosecutions until he was elected and they were dropped. Now he is demanding the taxpayers give him $230 million dollars. His grifting for money will never end.

This isn't complicated, he's just straight up extorting the Justice Deparment and looting taxpayers to put $230 million in his own pocket. Don't hold your breath waiting for any Republicans in the party to speak up about this either. https://nyti.ms/4oxtpQW

He's shitting on the American people, the Constitution, and he's tearing down the White House. Legacy media normalizes all of it.

NOT AN IMMIGRANT. NOT A BLACK MAN. NOT A BROWN MAN. NOT A TRANS. YOU GUESSED IT.....WHITE MAGA MALE!!

Pam Bondi, who was paid what might as well be a retainer for her services, is presumably who will approve the nine-figure payout from DOJ to Donald. www.google.com/url?q=https:...

JD Vance, your thoughts on this racist Trump appointee?

Agree with @gregsargent.bsky.social here.

The Defense Department banned nearly 600 books from schools on military bases — but in a win for free speech, a federal judge just ordered those books back to the shelves.

“This is not something that’s coming,” the Georgia politician and activist says of authoritarianism. “It’s here." Stacey Abrams has a new mission: defending democracy and diversity, equity, and inclusion in equal measure. Interview: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"I don't know anything about that so I'm afraid I can't comment." --Speaker Mike Johnson, repeatedly

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

#MAGA donors now own over 1/2 the voting machines in #America & this is the reason the #PumkinfacedDicktaster & #Reublicans want to do away with #mailinBallets they want all #American voters 2 use their manual manipulated machines 4 the midterms #IMPEACHTRUMP #NOKINGS #BLUECREW #REPLACEMIKEJOHNSOM

“Are you asking the DOJ to pay you? How much?" TRUMP: *pretends not to understand the Q 🤷🏼 … says he’ll give it to charity 🤥 … rambles for 2 minutes about how the election was stolen from him 🥸* Endless corruption and greed

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go. *Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

Keys to the office? Check! ✅ Sworn in as Congresswoman? Not quite 🙅🏻‍♂️

📌 Lie • Blame • Repeat 🐥

... as @sarahkendzior.bsky.social warned us NINE years ago.

Everything happening in the U.S. now is easier to understand when you stop thinking a political party took power and realize instead that an organized crime ring did.

"Trump is demanding that the Justice Dept. pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him." Rather than rely on the bribes he's solicited from foreign and U.S. businesses, Trump is going direct – trying to raid the U.S. Treasury. (Gift link to NYT story)

Parisa Salehi, a longtime government watchdog known for uncovering fraud and waste, was abruptly fired by Trump. The administration cited “changing priorities.” Her dismissal is the latest in a sweeping purge of inspectors general.

The DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, as first reported by Bloomberg, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the General Requirements section that prohibit surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.

The man should be in prison. But sure, let's pay him a quarter of a billion for being a criminal.

Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

For three weeks the government has been shut down. For three weeks, people’s health costs have spiked. And the President and Republicans in Congress are having a picnic? It’s no picnic for the American people.

Trump in FULL PANIC as MILITARY Generals SUDDENLY TURN on him

Make Asbestos Great Again

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Literally

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

So interesting to me that there is a distinct whiff of misogyny coming from so many “progressive”candidates. From Bernie saying “we can’t agree on everything” after campaigning a pro-life candidate to now Graham Platner saying that women need to “act like an adult” to avoid getting r*ped.

Real talk…
