Even Fox reporters refuse to follow the Pentagon’s new fascist rules…🤨

Day 16 of the Trump shutdown, where every day feels like a year for American citizens. #TrumpShutdownBadForUS

www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/f... FUCK CANDACE OWENS‼️ Nothing good is coming for this vampire.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far "Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

Daily Beast: Trump faces a MAGA backlash for giving Argentina a $20 billion bailout, as thousands of federal workers face layoffs & soybean farmers bear the brunt of his sweetheart deal. Are we great yet? #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Tell me again how it’s the drag queens our children shouldn’t be around. Every MAGA Republican accusation is actually a confession.

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

📣 Every American who gets a notice saying their health care premiums will go up needs to know it’s b/c Republicans are taking an extended paid vacation in order to help Trump cover up his relationship with sex-trafficker Epstein. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Imagine my surprise when Pat from SNL posted hundreds of vile, anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Hitler-loving messages. Correction: I’m told that it was actually William Hendrix, who worked for Kansas Republican AG Kris Kobach.

After losing her appeal, Candace Owens is indefinitely banned from Australia. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Look on the bright side. The worst men in America all just voluntarily added their identities to a database and then promptly demonstrated why they need to be separated from society. In the end, this saved us suffering rapes, robberies, murders, and battered women and children.

Interesting post, Mike, & I haven’t seen anyone else discuss purging local & state police of MAGA till now. I don’t think you go far enough though. 1. States need to reactivate State Guards & move Nat. Guard personnel & equipment to them. This makes them outside of federalization.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Breaking: Ewic says Daddums owns the government - so I guess he owns the shutdown too

No notes

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

A conversation with Jack Smith: youtu.be/DR79GW6SvxE?...

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

If you haven’t seen this, it’s the ultimate leopards ate my face, throwing their bigotry, hate and, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” right back in their face: www.reddit.com/r/Trumpvirus...

Military families are having to go to food banks to get food for their kids during the Trump shut down and Trump is selling gold watches on his social media site and selling American soil to the Qatari Air Force. Democrats are trying to save your health insurance.

A good way to use AI? "A data hoarder on Reddit used AI to create a searchable database of more than 8,100 files about Jeffrey Epstein released by the House Oversight Committee, making it one of the easiest ways to search through a very messy batch of files." #EpsteinFiles #Pinks

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Public health is not partisan. It is health for the public. That means all of us. Defend Public Health.

By the time of James' arraignment on October 24, DOJ will EITHER have dismissed Jim Comey's case, OR the evidence that Halligan was unlawfully appointed AND the evidence that EDVA knew they had no probable cause against Comey will be public. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/11/p...

NYC doesn’t mess around. It looks like they’ll be ready on Day 1 if the Trump regime attempts to occupy their city. More than 100 unions, faith leaders, and community organizers have pledged to stand with occupied cities, resist the regime, and protect New Yorkers. Read their full statement here:

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

They come from Indiana just like the guns in NYC come from Virginia. It's an open secret.

Picking on Black women who had to claw their way through NYC machine politics to get to their positions is just not going to work out for old white senile fascists. That's all I will say on that.

this is the guy who got rid of brokers fees in nyc, for anyone who doesn't live here. he rocks

FSB Warns: Big Tech Dominance and AI Risks in Finance Remain High — The Financial Stability Board reiterated concerns that financial institutions’ growing reliance on Big Tech and AI poses systemic risks to the global financial system. The watchdog said regulators are still in early…

‘To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op’: Malala Yousafzai on growing up, getting cynical – and how getting high nearly broke her

Don’t fall for the authoritarian hype – Reform and the hard right can be stopped in their tracks | Gordon Brown

Bold army sniper confronts Republican fascism, tells it how it is in simple terms:

After her landslide win in Southern Arizona, Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva is set to succeed her father, the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, to serve the remainder of his term. Creepy MAGA terrorist Mike Johnson is currently blocking her from being sworn in. I hate fascists.

Doesn't this just make you crave #nachos? (THIS is the blueprint for responding to provocations from the Orange Reich - bring a PARTY!!!!!)

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

"The president seizes on a grant of authority which is only supposed to be exercised in an 'emergency,' declares an endemic problem to be an acute one, then insists courts have no authority to review his emergency determination, no matter how divorced from the facts or law." — @lizdye.bsky.social

This is becoming urgent. Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death. PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.

I guess Rick Scott won’t be out and about any time soon after this confrontation with a voter.✊🏾
