A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.

We simply are not going to survive if the resources of our society are focused on imaginary problems while we ignore real ones.

Over the course of 10 years, he lowered our standards to the point where he can completely destroy the East wing of the White House and the Republican Party is like, "well, he is the president."

Trump won't release the Epstein Files, but he will release violent criminals, thieves, and fraudsters from prison. That tracks.

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

🧵Let's talk about the obvious: Where in the fuck did all the historic artwork and priceless furnishings go, including the gold leaf Steinway piano that was presented to FDR from the Steinway family? Did Trump steal all this when he demolished the East Wing? Why aren't Dems demanding to know?

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

2023: Gov. Bill Lee signs record tax break for corporations 2024: Lee signs new record tax giveaway for corporations ($2B most of which went out of state) 2025, Jan: Lee signs $1.1B voucher handout to private school parents 2025, Oct: Lee says state can’t afford to feed kids

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

It is what you think it is… they mean to starve the poor folks.

I think it's fucking crazy that trump was in office for *four years* and now he owns a third of the ninth circuit. the NINTH circuit!!!!

Trump is turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System, or BDS. He's creating many new avenues for media companies, law firms, universities, etc to channel tribute payments as he directs. Feeding the BDS is the cost of doing business in Trump's America. newrepublic.com/article/2021...

“How DARE Cracker Barrel change their logo 😡🤬😡🤬 I’ll never eat there again!” “Destroy the White House harder, daddy 🥵🤤”

This is insane. Pure megalomania

“Drone strike on a kindergarten” is not a sentence that should fucking exist, but it does, it happened this morning, in Ukraine.

Trump promised in the summer he wouldn’t touch this. And then he bulldozed it. Just like he swore he knew nothing about Project 2025. And then he put its authors in charge. Just like he promised to lower prices. And then started a trade war with the whole world m. Please learn, guys. He lies.

The “oh well he was in the military, of course he’s racist” type arguments are getting on my nerves, condescending bullshit from people who have no idea how big and diverse the military is

The real headline: "US military strikes alleged drug vessel in the Pacific in another violation of international law and democratic practices." Make it known, and make the media pay for downplaying this outright murder. @cnn.com

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

🧵 This scene from Bridgeview was just captured on TikTok from multiple angles— An Uber driver picked up a passenger & was immediately surrounded by ICE SRT agents. She says they almost rammed her off the road. One of them approaches with a shield. They point weapons at her and grab her passenger.

Breaking News: President Trump is having the White House’s entire East Wing demolished to make way for his $200 million ballroom. The project is far more extensive than he initially let on.

💙💛

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B. That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Priorities.

Show me you think you own the place without actually saying it: Trump Administration Live Updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

🧵Know his name—Robert Citrone. He heads Discovery Capital Management, big GOP donor, and longtime Bessent friend. He bet big on the Argentine economy when Milei took over, and his Argentine investments now in big trouble. Thus Bessent has intervened.

Soooo...he lied. The White House is demolishing the entirety of the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s $200 million ballroom, a construction project that is far more extensive than he initially let on, a senior administration official said on Wednesday. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I published a book on the role that the Trump Pentagon played in enabling January 6. The very first sentence of any report on this breaking news should inform Americans that the odds of another January 6 succeeding—say, in January 2029—just increased by 1000%, and that was likely the point of this.

Everyone who carefully constructed obfuscations in politics over the last hundred years must feel like a real dummy. Actually you can call it The Department of Murder. You can post a video of yourself dumping diarrhea on the public. You can go on TV and say "I am stealing from you lol"

Well, Well, Well..

One of Trump's most successful cons is that he is a patriot. The bitter truth is that Trump is an antipatriot. He destroys things that make America worthy of love and admiration. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mar-...

Anyone who thinks a president literally stealing 230 million from us is "small ball" does not deserve to hold office. The crap that these losers get away with saying and doing is untenable. We HAVE to get them out of office.

Oh look, Trump's $40 billion bailout just got a lot more expensive to finance. Argentina's peso has fallen to an all-time low against the US dollar. It has now collapsed 99.8% since 2009. Only someone with 6 bankruptcies would look at that and say, “I’ll take 40 billion dollars worth!”

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Whenever you hear someone invoke the unitary executive, remember the image below. This was an inevitable result of the unitary executive theory: Empowering a president to tyrannically destroy institutions that ensured our government reflects the rule of law rather than his personal whim.

Imagine being a Republican voter. Winning the election. Then realizing you have won the Presidency, The Senate, and the House. Your party essentially runs the government. The government gets shutdown.....then you blame the other party.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Trump just murdered some more people, this time on the Pacific side of South America

Experts in civil unrest don’t think a civil war is around the corner. But they’re still nervous about what happens next: “The fabric of what binds America together at this point is basically on its final thread,” one source tells WIRED.

Pretty much everything all in one small paragraph.
