Well, well, well...

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

Hmmm, new follower of mine - if you follow 2,200 accounts but you only have 15 posts yourself? Is it just ME, or is that one huge red flag? I blocked them.

Want to NOT be followed by bots or spammers? I just realized that if they follows thousands of accounts, that is a RED FLAG. "Consider follow-sprees or indiscriminate following as signs of bot-like behavior, or attempts to appear more legitimate, which is a red flag in that context"

Minutes away from Italianesque stories about how leaders should exude virility

I've found that acts of kindness towards strangers - workers at a Guatemalan restaurant, a homeless woman, buskers at an airport - have *really* made a huge difference in my spirits. I cannot stop ICE single-handedly, but I can make a difference in someone's life for one day.

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again? I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale. That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

No lifetime maxes. Pre-ACA, insurance companies would put lifetime max costs on coverage. I had NICU nurses talk about kids who would hit their LIFETIME max before their first breath of non-hospital air. No pre-existing conditions. "No insurance if you had serious injuries." So my kid? Uninsurable.

In new AP-NORC poll here's Trump's approval with independent voters. Um, big yikes! - Job approval 21%-75% (-54) - Immigration 26%-66% (-40) - Economy 18%-78% (-60) - Health Care 16%-79% (-63) More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/we-have-15...

One more reason why Democrats need to take back Congress. We need hearings, subpoenas, and daylight on every back-channel to Moscow. We have no ‘friends’ at the Kremlin‼️

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

"The evil Jew is funding the entire US left" is a piece of rank, obvious antisemitism that we have just collectively decided to accept in public, because IOKYR.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” By @andykroll.bsky.social, with @newyorker.com

Spoiler alert. He's going to invoke the insurrection act

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.

⚠️ October "No Kings Day" protests the largest single-day political protest ever in the United States (Wikipedia has already been updated accordingly.) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

The New York times is dead to me. It has been dead to me for several years now.

Don't mess with We the People

Everyone should listen to this. It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now. This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility. He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

JD Vance said today on the TPUSA podcast that these guys were “just a bunch of kids in a chat room.” bsky.app/profile/blue...

A proposal: Dem pols drop words like "troubling", "concerning", "worrisome" and other flaccid synonyms from their vocabulary, and replace with more accurate words like "illegal", "unconstitutional", "unacceptable", "authoritarian", "despotic". Thank you.

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate. Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain? And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?

What exactly is the EPA protecting under Trump? The profit margins of his rich polluting donors?

“I was afraid to go over there,” he said. “I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back. ... These are Americans who know what freedom is — we’re being invaded by strangers.” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Is it just me, or does he look like one of the child doctors from the creepy '60s Sci-Fi movie "Village of the Damned?'

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York. He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Will Dems. push to keep Dominion Voting Systems out of 2026 & 2028 elections after a former Republican election figure, aligned with Trump, purchased the company?

"ICE Wants to Build a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team" Thoughts?

Miller seethes when people make fun of him online, so I do think ridiculing him is impactful. Better, though, would be to start calling him President Miller and telling folks he’s really in charge - that’ll drive Trump nuts.

1) It's so frustrating to feel helpless with all the hate and abuse of power that's terrorizing the Latino population in this country. So yesterday I took a friend to a Guatemalan/Salvadorean restaurant in a neighborhood that has been hard hit by ICE, an area I've never been to before...

Oh this is not great

This is a compelling, SIMPLE message that the Dems should emulate more often.

👀👀👀👀

What's it like living in Chicago today? This image gives us a strong sense of the fear that Chicagoans fear from Trump's secret police.

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

Snipers on the roof, pointing their guns at peaceful protesters. Welcome to Nazi America.

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no. Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.
