The answer is yes. Just like Trump’s Azerbaijan hotel was a money laundering front for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

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.

Television broadcasters should list their license for using drm to require users pay to access public airwaves. That is currently the case with very little hardware being available to consumers for accessing content. Public airwaves belong to We the People. Demand atsc without DRM in your locality!

It's not “shutdown“, it's dead. We have been in a monarchy for weeks. We the people need to shut that shit down. We can rebuild something better. Single payer, for starters. The economy is just an AI bubble. It's time to start over.

I don't think I would bet money that the shutdown ends this year. They are going around it to find things they want to fund. There is zero oversight. They have more power to implement project 2025 than ever.

Trump has posted 62 AI videos to Truth Social. That's why my power bill keeps going up? Why are we subsidizing this shit?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

You matter (until you're accelerated to the speed of light, then you energy).

Preventing health care costs from exploding? Reopening the government? Lowering the cost of groceries?   Nope. Building himself a new $300 million ballroom.

😕

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025. This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Why would Dems trust a deal with Trump? Why would Ukraine make a deal with Putin?

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

GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles

IT's TIME for SINGLE PAYER! With millions being thrown off their healthcare insurance, the the stage is being set for single payer. A handful of rich making billions in profits is bad for We the People. National health is national wealth!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Demolishing historic structures is why New Yorkers hated him long before he ran for office.

Why haven't Thomas and Alito volunteered to be replaced already?

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

7 million people attended? How does Soros pay everyone without going broke?

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading". it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in. today's subway reading: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Everyone involved should have the benefit of due process.

Hard to believe this #NoKings footage of Chicago is real. (Is it?)

Already knew he was a shit bird.

Happening Now: Thousands out for a “No Kings” protest in Chicago

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

So no terrorism then?

I'm attending No Kings's event, “Mass Call: What's Next After No Kings?” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/democracy12/...

The NYC Mayoral Debate from Diaper Diplomacy.

You know who else called protesters unamerican? Joseph McCarthy. Mike Johnson's place in history could become even more infamous.

Birthday card idea: "Oh the hairs you will grow"

These are the hands that built America.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Sounds like indulgence of inappropriate impulses, not professional behavior. And what if evacuation of the plane is needed? This needs oversight. apnews.com/article/immi...

I imagine we'll see video of ice chasing and tackling sports mascots.

The House has no plans to go into session because nothing is more important than covering up the #EpsteinFiles.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: Make your voices heard. Join us in a peaceful protest across our country against the most corrupt, deceitful & criminal Administration in U.S. History. We say NO KINGS, NO CROOKS, NO SPRAY-TAN CONMAN! 👎 Check for a location near you at: www.nokings.org #BeThere 👍

We are ruled by clowns.

Is this why Oregon is being invaded?? They're taking over the farmer's markets to sell soy beans to the hippies?

Could the admin be asked to name who is "Antifa"? And are any on the Epstein list?

The GOP caved. The Dems caved. Wall Street caved. Big Law caved. The Ivy League universities caved. The DOJ caved. The FBI caved. The media caved. At America's moment of crisis, the only ones who stood strong against tyranny were the furries.

The Supreme Court is eroding the rule of law in service of a Christian nationalist agenda.

I'm OK with Dems voting to end the shutdown if the entire Epstein files are released.

Steven Miller is having people killed for fun. He's lying to the president about boats having drugs and showing Trump footage of BLM protests from years ago to get him to hostile occupy Portland to provoke an incident to justify declaring martial law.

How do we know the govt is actually shut down? The immigration courts are still running. Trump's presidential whoring room is still being built. This isn't like any shutdown we've seen before. They continue to do what they want and using "shutdown" to impound more money and fire more public servants

The price of electricity has risen since Trump took office and he is killing energy projects that tax payers have already invested in. That the opposition party isn't loudly prosecuting the case in the court of public opinion is puzzling.

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

History has many painful lessons.
