My two takeaways on this: 1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there. 2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Refusing to be numb is a radical act. Caring about the earth while they drill it. Caring about strangers while they deport them. Caring about truth while they erase it. You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Don’t let them make you be ashamed of your empathy and humanity. You’re still human. Stay that way.

A 17-year-old black kid was sentenced to 9 years in jail for ATTEMPTED MURDER. A drunk white guy KILLS another man with his car and gets ONLY 210 days in jail. Alcohol is an excuse for lighter sentences. It's because a lot of white people commit the crime. www.startribune.com/jail-time-in...

Welcome to Farmageddon, where our president puts Argentina's interests over American farmers and cattle ranchers. What happened to America first? #AmericanFarms #SaveOurFarms #Farmageddon #RuleofLaw

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Anyone who will execute people at sea, do a flyover as victims speak out, send troops into cities he feels threatened by, deport people to third-country prisons, or illegally fire members of agencies ... will do anything to stay in power. Anything. 🚫👑

No matter what good things they’ve done in their lives, every Republican member of congress should be judge by how they continue to put Trump over their country.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

The US debt has been growing at an astounding rate of nearly $70,000 per second over the past year. It now stands at $38 trillion. #TrumpShutdown #Resist #FightFascism #GOPShutdown

Early voting starts tomorrow in New York City. I hope people who live there vote for Zohran Mamdani. He is the type of person we need in the Democratic party.

Holy Mike Johnson has canceled House business again next week, meaning that over the last 17 weeks, the House of Representatives will have worked on Capitol Hill for just 20 days. It also means that the House will not be back at work before November 1, when SNAP benefits run out for 1 in 8 Americans

“I’m not going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country…We’re going to kill them. You know, they’re going to be, like, dead” - the antiwar president! Give him a Nobel!

Doug Ford's ad using Reagan's words slamming tariffs just aired during the World Series

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Vermont flooded in July. Families lost everything. And the federal government said “no.” This is not just wrong it’s unforgivable. People are hurting. Where’s the help?

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Social Security benefits are going up by 2.8 percent next year. But Medicare premiums are going up by 11.6 percent. And the cost of food is skyrocketing, too. Trumpflation is stealing your hard earned benefits.

And so it begins...

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

I'm in the email slaying portion of the morning.

Is this when the whites find out they’re the ones mostly on food stamps? Did they think SNAP was different?

If you're in Washington, DC, don't forget to visit these four structures that attest to the legacy of each president:

The Pentagon announces they are replacing The New York Times’ press credentials with the MyPillow guy’s media outlet.

Mike Johnson shamelessly lies: "We strengthened Medicaid. We improved healthcare access and we lowered premiums with our legislation."

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.

I pulled out few old receipts and used items I bought and returned.

I wonder what percentage of the millions Trump is giving Javier Milei will make its way back to Trump.

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

any ways if Kamala Harris was President the East Wing of the White House would still exist.

Four million Americans are disenfranchised from voting due to felonies. But not a 34X felon insurrectionist, pedophile rapist.

America has a dictator who loots the government for his private gain, locks up his opposition and launches dubious military strikes without any oversight.

If we had a functioning Congress, it would be requiring Trump to (1) Provide a complete list of all people/countries/corporations/mafia providing bribes, ur, “donations” for his tacky ballroom; and (2) An audited accounting of where all the money goes.

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.
