Is it successful as "cost-cutting, pro-market" when you come running to Daddy Trump for $40Billion of US tax funded dollars?

A decade after a landmark study proved that feeding peanut products to young babies could prevent development of life-threatening allergies, new research finds the change has made a big difference in the real world.

ABC's Jonathan Karl has a new book which contains "previously unpublished" notes from Mike Pence revealing that Donald Trump berated him and called him a wimp on Jan. 6, 2021. #trump

Gonna be a new mom for Halloween because my life is scary enough as it is (not knowing when I’ll shower or post next)

Despite many of them being wealthy and not in need of publicity, it’s incredibly disappointing that so many British thespian ‘luvvies’ don’t have a backbone in standing up for an already marginalised minority against a billionaire bully bankrolling transphobia off the back of this series! 😖 #Shame

But I was informed by the WH and some members of the media that Karoline’s Leavitt’s statement was taken out of context and this isn’t his main priority.

Wait! They tore down the East Wing even though plans for the new ballroom haven’t been approved yet? Why the rush?

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power. It will be the economic pain.

Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

So many things he does lay claim to extraordinary powers no president has ever used before. meanwhile, keeping 42 million people from starving during a shutdown — which presidents have done, he claims is impossible. In reality he just doesn’t feel any particular obligation to human life.

"We don't have a lot of answers about exactly what happened," he said. "What I will tell you is that today we're operating as if this is not an incident where someone came in with the design to inflict mass damage on a college campus."

Apparently separation of powers doesn’t work as well when there’s one branch of government.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

👇🏽

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

President Catherine Connolly, elected in landside in Irish election taking 63% of the vote, with a reasonable enough turnout of 46% A 34-point winning margin is largest in the history of the presidency, eclipsing Michael D Higgins’ win in 2018 www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

For the Americans I know you don’t hear much global news but Ireland just elected Catherine Connolly as our president by a laaaaandslide ✊🏽

Irish President-Elect Catherine Connolly received the most votes, ever, in a presidential election & won by a landslide. She’s known for her support of ppl with disabilities, the Irish language, LGBTQ ppl & equal rights. She’s the third woman president. She’s also a respected feminist. #Aras25

BREAKING: Progressive Catherine Connolly just won Ireland's presidential election in a landslide victory against her center-right rival. 💪 The tide is TURNING!

Catherine Connolly, militante de la réunification de l’Irlande, élue présidente

Dear Lisa Murkowski Dear Bill Cassidy Dear John Thune Dear Susan Collins Dear Thom Tillis Dear Joni Ernst Dear Shelley Moore Capito Dear Mitch McConnell Dear James Lankford What in the actual fresh fuck are you doing? He's knocking down the White House & giving bombs to #ICEstapo #GOPCowards #GOP

The Epstein Recess continues.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

I started posting on reddit and immediately regretted it Apparently wanting to start well above the living wage for a job that requires a degree and a postgrad qualification is being "entitled". No wonder no one in this country can get paid decently

Bovino, dressed up as an agent in Chicago, accused a woman of threatening him when he saw her recording him. She was thrown to the ground. He's accused of throwing a tear gas canister. Who are the criminals? www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/23/f...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

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

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.

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.

This is another absurdity. Listen to what he tries to claim about Free Speech.

Federal Goons pull over woman, threaten to arrest her for allegedly trying to "impede" by following them.

Tired of just talking about how things should change? Maybe it's time to step up into an advocacy role! bikeportland.org/2025/10/23/s...

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

ME: *wakes up after getting to sleep at 5am, depleted* ME: Okay let's dance. PHONE: *family crisis* ME: *scraping self back together* okay let's go NEWS: The east wing is gone HUSBAND: I just read the list of weapons ICE is getting. Should we get gas masks? *scene*

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

"who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America’s prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business and additional millions are tied to imports" Reagan

Every time the U.S. has said who can and cannot govern overseas, we’ve ended up in either a hot war or a proxy war.

Both TikTok and Meta are breaching the DSA, according to EU Commission. The platforms are not transparent enough with their data for research use, and Meta makes reporting illegal content and appealing moderation decisions too difficult.

Instagram and Facebook are breaking the EU’s illegal content rules

President Trump is plowing ahead with plans to build a grand ballroom where the East Wing of the White House currently stands. The plans have not gone through the committee tasked with overseeing such projects. n.pr/48FiK1R

OTTAWA – The parliamentary budget officer says federal assistance to help Canadians recover from natural disasters could increase by more than $1 billion over the next 10 years.
