Releasing funds that exist to keep children from going hungry = too complicated. Finding money for salaries and living expenses for members of the House to barely work since July = no problem.

📌 Kudos Rachel Maddow for breaking this down for us 🐥

First Amelia Earhart, now Jimmy Hoffa… @joshscampbell.bsky.social

"As he was being taken to jail on the DUI charge, the intoxicated [ICE] agent not only asked the deputy if he was Haitian, but told another deputy he was going to check the deputy’s immigration status after he was released, the camera footage shows." apple.news/AzK8-ecHXRkCUJfZwqKwurg

Trump citing his MoCA test to question Crockett and AOC's IQ is like a man bragging he passed his eye exam while driving off a cliff.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

So while even Josh Hawley is willing to bring a bill to the floor to make sure the most vulnerable don’t starve, Thune wants to use hunger as leverage to force a Dem surrender.

Let the Trump admin argue in court the legal technicalities on why people should starve. Great optics for them.

On the one hand I’d love to see it because Gaines would get destroyed, on the other hand AOC has about a thousand other things better to do than waste her time with this grifter. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

When hungry people who lost their SNAP benefits show up at Republicans’ district offices angry since they are running the country, their staff can attempt to explain to them that it’s not their fault because of the intricacies of the senate filibuster rule. While they hide.

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isn’t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be the worst thing for Dems.

If some of the people paying to build the ballroom are doing so because they are in the Epstein files that Trump is covering up, then it is only right for it to be named the Epstein Ballroom.

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

My daughter is 19 with her first job making $22 an hour at Panda Express. If she works 40 hours a week, she will make more annually than a teacher in MO. That's absolutely criminal, I know most teachers work far more than 40 hours a week grading homework, planning lessons, etc.

Man, I can’t stop thinking about the folks in Jamaica. This hurricane looks like it’s going to be brutal.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Some politicians flip-flop, but Marge cartwheels.

“We’re Just Reporting What He Said,” Say Journalists, As Civilization Burns in Background.

I can only assume that the CEOs of huge companies and leaders of foreign governments who continue to bribe Trump while getting tremendous benefits and breaks from the govt think that Republicans will stay in power forever or Democrats will forgive and forget.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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.

Yeah, we know. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I wonder how things would’ve played out if JD Vance was VP on J6, 2021 instead of Pence?

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

It only cost us $40 billion.

Sleepy Joe never provided for his son the way Donald Trump has smh

Johnson has subordinated himself to the president so much that even Trump in private jokes that "I'm the speaker and the president," @anniekarni.bsky.social reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

One of the greatest Started/Goings of all-time.

He always wants to eliminate mail-in voting, which is the only safe and unhackable way to vote, especially now that Trump's Republican donors have purchased Dominion.

Dr. Oz is really out there pushing the bounds of humanity. Let’s elect compassionate healthcare providers (like me) instead of the fools who put this guy in charge.

After working on his ballroom all week and destroying the East Wing of the WH, Trump is now flying around the world to make deals with autocrats while refusing to negotiate with Democrats to reopen the US government.

And he’s saying, with a net worth of $521 million, that he is also “feeling the pain” of his admin’s farm policies just like the farmers he is putting out of business, because of his investment in farm land.

From his perch as a long-time global currency trader on Wall Street, Bessent also invested $25 million in Midwest land, which he leases out to actual farmers. He is not a “soybean farmer.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is what they voted for. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

Not much longer to wait now for the imminent presidential drone strikes on 1211 Sixth Ave

I’m sure Bessent was out on the back forty under the hood of his combine and had to be dragged into this interview.

Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

The Bolsonaros learning the hard lesson that so many have had to face before - the second you are no longer useful to Trump he will sell you out.

Trump and MAGA spent the last 4 years saying that Lula was an evil communist who illegally persecuted his friend Bolsonaro. But now it’s “deal” time.

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

Russia now owns another Republican member of Congress. Likely bought at a bargain price.

But I was informed by the WH and some members of the media that Karoline’s Leavitt’s statement was taken out of context and this isn’t his main priority.
