NOT SO LONG AGO 🤔

Sen. DURBIN: We need to support law enforcement and policies that improve—not erode—trust between them and our communities. I will not sit idly by while this President tramples the Constitution.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

🚨 #Pennsylvania Republicans are pulling out all the stops to remove 3 Democratic State Supreme Court Justices this year! Help keep them on the bench. There's also seats up in #WI & #NC next year. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/state...

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

I think it's time to read the epilogue to Walter Benjamin's 1935 essay, on fascism and aesthetics web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/...

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

Mr. Trump started his speech by encouraging the military leaders who were assembled at the meeting that they are free to applaud or even leave the room if they disagree with his comments. But he added that if they leave the room, "there goes your rank, there goes your future." Yerp, there we go.

Two minutes into his speech to military leaders, Trump is ranting about renaming the "Gulf of America"

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Same as it ever was.

US Rep. Nancy Mace is such a hateful lunatic. But this response to her is delightful.

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Democrats won’t cosign on hurting our friends and neighbors. This is a Republican run government. This is on them.

Hey, Texans.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

79. American citizen.

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Weird how Robert Redford and Ozzy Ozborne had zero people calling them pieces of shit after they died, by the simple virtue of not being giant pieces of shit

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. It’s an endless series of baloney.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

Angus: I was just in Western Canada, where our farmers are having a great year—because we’re exporting into what used to be American markets. Your former allies are walking away, leaving your farmers—who voted for you—in what they’re calling Farmageddon. Donald—we’re moving on.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

This Court is one reason why the United States is in such sorry shape. www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/p...

Rep. Jeffries (D-NY) on OMB Director Vought threat to layoff federal workers amid a possible government shutdown: "We will not be intimidated by Russ Vought, who's completely and totally out of control...As a negotiating tactic, our response to Russ Vought is simple: Get lost."
