A HOPEFUL POINT OF VIEW WHAT DO YOU THINK? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

THIS ABOUT SUMS IT UP: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0A4...

"Federal workers aren’t supposed to be loyal to any president or their policies. Instead, they are supposed to be committed to following laws and to helping the government function well for the public. But Trump has been trying to politicize the civil service since taking office."

Trump said he aced a very hard IQ test, turns out it was the one where you have to tell a lion from a camel. The only thing is… it wasn’t an IQ test. Yikes. He said it was very hard, though. He bragged he ‘got them all right,’ like he just cracked the Da Vinci Code.

Those who open shoot clergy with pepper rounds in public will without hesitation cull their flocks in private.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof. He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within." Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?

Rep. Luna is a threat to national security.

One of these guys is running for Congress on an explicitly pro-LGBTQ platform. Hell yeah. www.advocate.com/politics/dyl...

Sen. Jacky Rosen is introducing a resolution to issue a formal Senate condemnation of Trump for seeking a $230 million payout from the Justice Department for past cases pertaining to him, with the Nevada Democrat labeling it an act of “self-dealing.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This is what corporations should be doing to face this moment!! 🤝 Door Dash now we just need you to pay employees their fair share.

THE PIC OF THE EAST WING DESTRUCTION: IS IT TRUE THAT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD A "HITLER BUNKER" DISGUISED BY THE NEW WING

THERE IS ALSO THE QUESTION OF REPUBLICAN OWNERSHIP OF THE SOFTWARE THAT COUNTS OUR VOTES DEMAND YOUR SECRETARY OF STATE RE-CALIBRATE! (Dominion machines were bought by "Liberty Vote")

Proof The Trump Regime will send troops into all 50 states to steal the 2026 elections. Democrats must formulate a plan to stop this or the Mid-Terms will be stolen. If Republicans retain power after 2026, we are doomed as a nation. Democracy is dying in real time. Can Democracy be saved? #ProudBlue

If you think warrantless roundups, the military in our cities & soaring prices/tariffs are bad, then there's 1 way to stop it: Winning the House majority in '26, but MAGA's trying to cheat by eliminating Democratic districts. #VoteYesonProp50 to save democracy! Volunteer today: linktr.ee/cadem

In Chicago, ICE tried to seize a Latino man—but his Black neighbors refused to let it happen. They stepped in, stood tall, and claimed him as their own. That’s what solidarity looks like: when the people say no, the raid ends there. This is how we win: together.🔥

GOOD FOR A LAUGH

I can't with him! He puts down AOC and Jasmine Crockett saying he is smarter and they should try to take the test he did. He's talking about the Montreal Test. 🙄 www.mdcalc.com/calc/10044/m...

Viva México, Vive le Canada, I stand with Canada and Mexico.

From scientist Matthew Cappucci: "The NOAA aircraft that was investigating Melissa today had to leave the storm early due to "severe turbulence." Melissa is STILL intensifying. This is extremely rare. The aircraft are BUILT for severe turbulence and extreme conditions. "Melissa is truly a monster.""

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly riding to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia as soon as Friday. He doesn’t want to follow through with the criminal case because he realizes there is nothing to it and Garcia was not a gang member.

A thoughtful response to presidential malpractice. Revisiting following Trump’s recent reiteration.

The Trump regime's USDA has announced it will not use the $6 billion already in reserve to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), even as more than 42 million Americans face the loss of food benefits. Hit the pic ⬇️ & contact your reps! resist.bot/petitions/PX...

One thing this government shutdown had made extremely clear is Democrats are the ONLY party fighting for families and U.S. citizens. Gov. Walz explains... Republicans refusing to reopen the government is a complete abdication of their duty to serve, while they still receive their paychecks.

The cruelty is a feature, not a bug & SNAP benefits are weaponized in disgusting ways to smear beneficiaries. My thoughts on how Trump is pissing away money while denying financial assistance to lower-income households, including children, the elderly, & the disabled. youtu.be/lfn8LXy3-Mw?...

Approximately 36–37% of those receiving federal food assistance are white. This demo makes up the largest racial group among SNAP participants Trump's Epstein Shut Down is about to leave people of all stripes & colors (kids, veterans, disabled, seniors) without basic food

We already know this. He can't keep a secret to save his life.

Biden deserves this, and his speech was powerful. "In over 50 years of public life, this is one of the worst I've seen. Our very democracy is at stake in my view. It's no time to give up. It's time to get up. Get up now!" www.cbsnews.com/news/boston-...

When Pam Bondi was appointed U.S. Attorney General, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy media gave her a thumbs up. If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. https://bit.ly/47a0rR6

NOT WEIRD JUST CORRUPT WHO WANTS THAT?

SNAP food benefits have never stopped during a government shutdown. The only difference this time is the admin's refusal to use USDA contingency funds that kept the program running in every past shutdown.

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos. By @eltragon.bsky.social

Trump brags about an MRI, his third-term fantasy, ICE raid chaos, CNN head orders reporters to soften coverage of East Wing demolition after White House meeting, Mike Johnson lies through the shutdown—and more in today’s unfiltered Meidas+ Bulletin.

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

SO TRUE BEARS REPEATING MORE OFTEN THAN THEY REPEAT THEIR LIES

I sure hope he's right.

Last week: -Trump pardoned Binance's founder after a $2B deal with his crypto firm -Hegseth awards a DoD contract to a Don Jr.-backed firm -Trump orders his DOJ cronies pay him $230M in "compensation" We must not become numb to this. https://popular.info/p/3-scandals-in-4-days-that-would-define

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
