Sorry I can't get over this but it's just so funny to say "The test starts off with giraffes and elephants but the questions get way harder than that"

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

That's the authoritarian dream

He's got his father's con

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

🇨🇦 After Trump’s temper tantrum over the (VERY REAL) Reagan anti-tariffs ad, Canada says they will now turn towards making deals with Asia instead. MAGA = Making Asia Great Again & Making Argentina Great Again

Things were better a year ago.

I can't understate just how courageous Jack Smith is and has been. The letter his legal team wrote yesterday is amazing work. But it also underscores the TRUE FUCKING PERIL that truth tellers are facing! Courage in real time ♥️ I honestly pray this doesn't go the Navalny route & I don't pray.🙏🏼 Hero👇🏼

Trump: “I don't think we're gonna ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.” What. The. Fuck?

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.

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

Can we maybe not do this?

Such a coincidence that they tear down the East Wing at the same time that Mike Johnson is keeping Congress out of session, avoiding any accountability for this or for Epstein. Let’s be clear: if he can bulldoze the White House without permission, he’s not a tenant — he’s the owner. He’s a king.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

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

When the nazis fled Germany they went to Argentina . 🍊🤡 is giving Argentina $40M and a beef contract Coincidence? I don’t think so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am pretty amazed Trump actually got someone to tear down a huge percentage of the WH without any word getting out beforehand. That in itself seems extremely bad

I like how Joe Biden never fired artillery rounds over an interstate.

No Kings Maine

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

Cuomo saying he’s the only one who can stand up to Trump is like Trump saying he’s the only one who can stand up to Putin

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson and House Republicans just announced their new healthcare plan: Die.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @jesseduquette.bsky.social )

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

i’ll never get over this

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not. He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone. Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants. They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

They did this with this dude more than twice too
