The President of the United States has declared war on the United States Government

Hot take: Shutdown procedure is too complicated to understand, so people fall back on priors—Republicans hate government, Democrats like it.

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...

Democrats should run on one promise: release the Epstein files. They’d crush.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

He’s realized that Roberts made him king

flip.it/BDK-JS Sadly, it’s looking increasingly like the only thing that will get Americans to reject the current anti-science madness may be a major and terrifying increase in deadly dissuades once conquered by vaccination

flip.it/o4xy4i This shows that he no longer feels vulnerable and can do whatever he wants. I believe it also shows that he never plans for MAGA to face the voters in a free election

Lies and hatred are all they have. The key elements of authoritarianism

Let me translate: People in Maga world don’t believe that anyone should receive Kamal help from the government. They believe if you don’t have enough money for healthcare, housing, transportation it is your fault. In fact, some have explicitly said that if you are sick, it is your fault.

Totalitarianism brought to you by John Roberts

Here's the assignment folks. Write op-eds for your local papers and campus newspapers too. Just. Say. No. This is a classic authoritarian move and risks the future of higher education and science and innovation in the US. Speak out today. No time to lose. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

60 minutes is dead to me. It is now no better than TASS under the USSR

There is a reason the Soviet Union’s economy collapsed and took the state with it. Centrally planned economies don’t work. Despite Trump/MAGAs stated hatred of “socialism” they are in fact, engaging in it. Our results will be no better if this continues

Trump started his trade war with China April 2nd. A lot of these soybean farmers had not planted seed yet, and they knew what happened last time. But they 'bet the farm' trump would bail them out, regardless. Last time the $28 Billion was the single largest industry bailout in history.

That’s a lie. A big lie. A really big lie. And I’m pretty damn sure he knows it.

If policies and programs need to be cut, as Johnson says, why is it only happening in blue states? www.npr.org/2025/10/02/n...

I have been riding the DC metro, alone, since I was in middle school, and brought my children on it when they were even younger

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

I don’t and now will never watch anything on CBS. If I could opt out on cable I would

When are we going to be like France (masses in the streets), S Korea (arrest the coup-leading “president”), or other recent examples of people uniting against bad government? I know a general strike is a start (for those of us who can). What else, between now and the next No Kings march 10/18?

Not shocking but still insane that 40% of the country supports a federal government that spends its entire time threatening Americans and trying to destroy things

This is how you do it.

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

FACT CHECK: Donald Trump’s trade war is crushing soybean farmers. Full stop. Republicans like Bessent down to TN’s Rep. Rusty Grills sound delusional blaming Biden. That math ain’t mathin’! Soybean sales to China under Biden last year: $13B Soybean sales to China under Trump this year: $0

Don’t take too much comfort from all the talk about how our generals take an oath to the constitution and not to the president, and that they are “normie” people. Amongst them there is likely to be several more “General Flynn” type lunatics. Be certain that Hegseth will try to elevate them

The Pope has come out strongly against Trump policies on immigration and the death penalty. JD Vance converted to Catholicism but supports Trump’s policies. What does that make Vance? A CINO. Catholic In Name Only

We lost the giant today. Jane Goodall live a good life, a life of consequence. I’m only sad that she lived long enough to see denegration of science in this country

The Trump ministration is pulling money from blue states and blue cities. What I would like to see is a consortium of blue states to organize withholding money from the federal government. I’m not naïve. I know this is difficult. Trump has openly called for war against us.

flip.it/kvY4xX This chaos, completely the opposite f the lain language of the constitution, is brought to you by your friendly billionaire and king-loving John Roberts

apple.news/ASkA50fXCSq2... @laurabullard.bsky.social This is a good article but the ideas discussed are pseudo-intellectual. They have two fatal flaws: 1. Any attempt to plumb human behavior without the benefit of our best tools, i.e. science and its subset cognitive science, are doomed. 1/x

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
