House Speaker Mike Johnson tells reporters he was not aware he was House Speaker. When shown proof, he said it looked like a.i. and then after shown again, said he didn't know if he was that Mike Johnson

He bulldozed the White House. During a shutdown. To build a ballroom.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. "What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

Kristi Noem dresses ICE GOONS in camouflage to imitate National Guard

Trump's shutdown isn't just imperiling millions of Americans' healthcare coverage. Nearly 42M people could lose critical food assistance when SNAP funding runs out in two weeks. Republicans think this shutdown is about punishing Democrats. But in reality, it hurts everyone.

Government employees are going unpaid during the shutdown, food stamps and other programs are about to come to a screeching halt, and the tariffs continue to hurt ordinary Americans, but the mobster doesn’t care. “Fuck you, pay me.”

It would be nice if Congress was aware that they have a different job and different powers from second string untrained reporter - I know it's confusing because they end up on TV a lot but there are other parts to the gig

A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer Trump's drive for retribution against his perceived “Deep State” enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.

Behold: Republican permitting reform.

I’m surprised by this, not because the WH is an architectural masterpiece [it isn’t], but because Trump is throwing away so much money. He could sell every brick, plank, window frame etc to the tech bros/Qatar/Israel/Saudis for $100k+ a piece. Maybe he still will. And it’s defo not a bribe! No sir!👀

Donald Trump broke a promise and then ruined something? Well, I never.

here is a clip of the East Wing of the White House being demolished for Trump's ballroom just now

Legal experts are sounding the alarm on a shocking federal appeals court ruling that all but permitted President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon. They warn that, if upheld, the order would give Trump unbridled power to use the military domestically

🧵 1/2 WTF is wrong with these I🧊 monsters? Bragging about dragging, smashing windows with pregnant women and children! Do their families know how they spend their days?

Just going to leave this here.

Breaking: Paul Ingrassia just announced that he's withdrawing from consideration.

New in PN: A rickety dictatorship "Trump’s increasingly desperate attempts to incite a civil war in advance of the midterms and the rejection of his party’s healthcare evisceration each demonstrate growing vulnerabilities of the nascent MAGA tyranny."

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

Let's see how that government ban on White House demolition photos is going. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Under Mike Johnson, the House has conducted just 20 days of business in the last 16 weeks and refused to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva. Don't forget what this is really about: keeping the release of the Epstein Files at bay.

Crazy

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

Trumpism really has unleashed a Lovecraftian fuckstorm of abyssal monsters upon this country.

We got to get that full $80 billion of US taxpayer money down there quick to help Milei hang on to a couple more seats in the legislature. It’s an America First thing.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

We would LOVE to see this entire administration in a PRISON COSTUME…. Hehehehe.🖖😉

Has any media outlet written about the actual policies and procedures that are supposed to be followed before you tear down a wing of the White House?

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act? www.gao.gov/legal/approp...

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Jeffries: "Republicans are the party of lawlessness and disorder, including the ongoing crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave which is running the largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country in real time. And we hear nothing but crickets from Mike Johnson."

If the survey is of congressional Republicans? All of it, clearly

It IS your money, after all.

Did corporate media underplay coverage of No Kings because it was peaceful? That's a depressing but likely theory. pressingissues.org/to-the-natio...

Once again, trigger discipline of a guy playing a video game in an arcade. These rejects are playing Call of Duty on our streets.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Keep up the pressure, my bitches! We got this! 💙💙💙 TnT www.npr.org/2025/10/21/n...

Since 8 million people protested Tangerine Palpatine on Saturday, he’s doing everything he can to take back control of the narrative by getting you mad about bulldozing the White House and shitting on everyone.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Ca$hApp still doesn't understand that MAGAts are fucking racist Nazis! youtu.be/3cCdiCttNf0?...
