The Epstein Recess continues.

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

Pritzker on Fox on ICE agents: "The problem is, who's holding the bad ones accountable? Because the bad ones, frankly, are the ones we're seeing all the time."

How long until Maryland U.S. attorney Kelly Hayes is fired for having integrity? www.cnbc.com/2025/10/23/t...

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Totally would not shock me if he just bulldozes the entire White House by the end of his term.

Sheeeet🤯 "when asked “what proportion of climate scientists think that global warming is caused mostly by human activities?” - only 30% of middle-school & 45% of high-school science teachers selected the correct option of “81 to 100%."

Priorities.

Trump says raising prices makes the country wealthy

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

Trump would try to demolish his AirBnb rental. Or at least paint it gold.

NEW: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services just got an email telling furloughed workers to return to work Monday. They will be paid starting Monday, but won’t get backpay for precious furlough days until the shutdown ends.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

My god it’s hideous

Warren: So now Trump wants to give Argentina $40 billion. He talked about how tough things are for the people in Argentina and how hard they’re fighting for their economic survival. Look around America. Look at all the farmers sitting on soybeans they’ve got no buyer for now.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch.

2.8 million people in FL will soon be hungry thanks to Trump & his Republican cohorts in Congress. Children will go hungry just because Senate republicans refuse to extend healthcare subsidies & end this shutdown. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn baynews9.com/fl/tampa/new...

Ethics Watchdog Group Seeks Investigation Into Border Czar and Contracts The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center has called on the Homeland Security inspector general to investigate potential conflicts of interest and ethics violations by border czar Tom Homan and his senior adviser Mark Hall.

“Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter.”

Q: Has Speaker Johnson reached out to you since the January 6er made a threat on your life? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: No

Democrats block government funding bill for a 12th time after marathon floor protest

NEWS: Trump to demolish the entire East Wing of the White House without prior approval, Trump sanctions Russia and cancels meeting with Putin, White House moves closer to federal takeover of 2026 election, and more. An urgent news update: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Mike Johnson has not heard anything about the entire East Wing being demolished and cannot speak to that.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Real talk…

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

The Supreme Court is on the verge of gutting the Voting Rights Act's equal opportunity protections for minority voters — 12 years after they first rolled back its safeguards against voter suppression.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

Big news here: the White House has backed down from shutting down I-5 this weekend following our reporting last night.

Trump on No Kings: "This is not a king. They're referring to me as a king. I'm not a king."

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."
