“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024

BANNON: “Trump will be president in 2028 and get a third term. People oughta get accommodated with that.” “What about the constitution?” BANNON: “He’s a vehicle of divine providence.” (PSA: Believe them. He is not joking.)

The President’s main priority should be the millions of Americans facing higher health care costs, missed paychecks, and food insecurity – not a ballroom.

🤷🏼

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall? What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

MAGA, he doesn’t need your approval anymore. He just wanted your vote.

😎🌵🪴 well yeah, apparently we do summarily execute people

“Betty Ford had the best quote for how special the East Wing is: ‘If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart,” Anita McBride. 😢😭 #whitehouse #eastwing

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons. It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets. Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

"nearly half..." ??? it's an open book test. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

He’s selling pardons for God’s sake. apnews.com/article/trum...

NEW: Trump's Big, Beautiful Betrayal includes an $8.8 billion bailout for pharmaceutical companies.   That's right. Premiums are about to go through the roof and 15 million are going to lose their health care—   But Republicans think Big Pharma deserves a golden parachute.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The USDA releases its annual food security report today, possibly for the last time, after the Trump administration moved to end the survey and tighten SNAP rules.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

You gotta imagine how weird it felt to drive that backhoe today just looking back at everybody going “you sure about this everybody’s sure about this?”

Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda. This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. "Calling this movement 'No Kings' turns out to have been a stroke of genius, because Trump’s response was to essentially say *Yeah, I’m the king — and because I’m the king, I can poop on people!*"

So we are supposed to believe that Trump had proof that the survivors of his latest attack were narco terrorists, but then he let them go home?

“The demonstrations were very small.”

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Breathtaking incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Seems like a reasonable request

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing. I have a model that has been working. I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

The wildest part about the largest protest in American history is that the president’s response was to post a video literally proving the point of the protest.

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

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.”

Can’t say I’ve seen too many palm trees here in Illinois. Maybe in the President’s home state of Florida though.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

And this is what democracy looks like in California at No Kings!

My 17 year old made these

This doesn’t even include the ones who had pending case but he had their charges dropped.

My sign for tomorrow

Some more we made last time.

My husband is carrying this sign. The rest of us are still working on ours.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Because this isn’t the movement of Reagan or Eisenhower or even Bush… if you still find yourself defending it, maybe the joke’s on you—because history never laughs with those who excuse the inexcusable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
