Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

FLASHBACK: “Do you feel lucky to get out of here without an investigation? How many girls were there?” The Holler’s Kanew asked a retiring Rep. Byrd about girls he apologized for sexually abusing. This is what @aftynbehn.bsky.social was protesting. This is what they’re attacking her for. #TN7

This fckn dude

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

in a moment when too much of the remaining opinion column space in the states seems to have been set aside for farcical, garbled thinking, so grateful for @elienyc.bsky.social, for his moral clarity, and for the way he wields the form.

Terrific

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

Ummm...sure seems like it's true, shocking. 🤣 "I didn't know dirty donald is" - Epstein

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

Just about an hour apart by the way

Damn, this is so powerful. MeidasTouch nailed it.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

If people are working full-time jobs and still need food stamps to survive, then they aren’t the welfare queens. Their employers are.

This isn’t a game. Some middle class families in Connecticut are going to get a $25,000 increase in health care premiums in a week. Democrats shouldn’t support a budget that does that to people - just as a means to pay for a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

👇🏽

yes--make it make sense

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

And coincidentally, $40 billion was about the exact same amount of money that USAID administered -- for the whole world.

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

or reopen rural hospitals?

I’ll admit that I am weird enough to want my taxes to pay for education help for disabled kids in America, rather than bailing out Argentina.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

REMINDER: American businesses and consumers will pay the 100% import tax www.cnbc.com/2025/10/10/t...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

The weird snipe at @stevevladeck.bsky.social aside, Ilan misses the entire point that even the framers accepted the general idea of judicial oversight re: the president's deployment of military forces. Congress enacted a statutory regime. The president is bound by it. Courts have equitable powers.

Day 5 of the shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table instead of going on island retreats.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

War-torn Portland, Oregon

Once again, I am asking why the U.S. is bailing out Argentina’s economy instead of helping the tens of millions of Americans who are struggling because of Trump’s tariffs and the shitty job market. What happened to America First!?

I'm surprised NBC hasn't been forced to fire this journalist yet

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
