California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

That adage about a broken, hypocritical clock . . .

State Rep. James Talarico raised $6.2 million in the first three weeks of his bid for Senate, a massive haul that far outpaces the earliest fundraising numbers tallied by recent Democratic statewide hopefuls.

WATCH: “If Trump & Republicans get what they want, millions will lose health care and the rest of us will see our monthly bills shoot up.” Sylvia explains why the Dems are fighting. #TrumpShutdown

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Focusing on the ridiculous veneer is a mistake because the substance of Trump's speech was as serious as a heart attack. The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

Sometimes it's a good thing Trump can't help talking and posting so much!

We’re seeing the likely start of a new vicious cycle: The more drag tariffs put on the economy and the more economic problems start to crop up, the more frequently Trump will turn to...more tariffs!

This is a welcoming account. 🏳️‍⚧️

Every time you hear Trump, Vance or a GOP leader talk about “illegal aliens” getting health care, remember they are trying desperately to dodge blame for an insurance premium jump about to hit 20M+ Americans Also they are lying www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

"The most striking thing was how little the president and his allies were bothering to hide what they were up to." Trump heard "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up" and took it seriously and literally.

This morning was pure psychopathy. On the world stage. In front of generals and admirals who have actual important work to do. Performative partisan political rhetoric from an angry macho dimwitted sociopath and a ranting rambling repetitive narcissist in chief. Absurd. Troubling. And surreal.

The President of the United States is a narcissistic psychopath who never developed a conscience or a normal human emotional operating system. His go-to interactions wth the world are self-aggrandizement, bullying, condescension, and the deconstruction of decent people.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Divine knew.

Fuck ICE. Cowardly bastards.

"It’s not the spending of government money on the insurance industry that irks the modern GOP. It’s the spending of government money on health care."

Behold the alcoholic Fox News host, Secretary of War,over the United States of America's military.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Trump: "We are discovering American muscle, reasserting American might, and beginning the next chapter in American military legends and lore. That's L-O-R-E. It is lore."

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of September!

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Well… the whole world can now see that the emperor is naked. How embarrassing.

"I do feel, both for the sake of political hygiene and the historical record, that someone should tell the simple truth: Donald Trump is a vulgar bigot and a reprehensible human being." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

A TV talk show chatterbox elevated to Secretary of Defense talking about standards is an undiluted lack of self-awareness.

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

They're also in charge of the Supreme court

MAGA: why won’t the radical, lunatic, communist, America-hating, enemy of the people libtards stop calling us names?

Brilyn Hollyhand, for a time, was handily meeting the moment. He went on a number of TV networks and podcasts to memorialize his “mentor” Kirk, while also angling to succeed him. Nobody wants to hand it to him. The latest False Flag from @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/private-je...

Pritzker: “In any other country…If federal agents marched down busy streets harassing civilians and demanding their papers, what would we say? I don’t think we’d have any trouble calling it what it is: Authoritarianism.”

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
