Look at that….we in the US created a pandemic. Thanks RFK Jr and the Trump regime along with anti-vaxers. I swear. The regime is a bunch of asshats.

OPINION: DOGE wasn't about "waste & fraud". It's what Musk paid $250 million dollars to Trump for... ACCESS TO OUR DATA BANKS so he could train & test his GROK3 AI tool on it & to erase agencies to get rid of regs affecting him personally. And now we need a ballroom? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4LO...

US national debt surpasses a record $38 trillion This is roughly $111,000 of debt for every person in the US, and is equivalent to the value of the economies of 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 🇯🇵 🇩🇪 & 🇬🇧 combined. flip.it/KT3elC and this doesn’t include the costs of Trump’s putinous destruction. Will Trump double or triple it?

Betty Ford reportedly said that if the White House West Wing is the “mind” of the nation, then the East Wing — the traditional power center for first ladies — is the “heart.” apnews.com/article/white-house-east-wing-trump-ballroom-demolition-64c97f1056f26b1bfb85290cb42b115d

Oh. Well what could go wrong?

As U.S. wheat farmers face painful losses in the global market due to President Trump's policies, one domestic flour mill on a reservation in Oregon is expanding its production twelvefold. n.pr/4oaI5Wk

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

“The reforms should be made durable by adoption of necessary organizational and personnel changes. UCLA will also develop training materials to socialize international students to the norms of a campus dedicated to free inquiry and open debate.” lol. The delicious, pathetic, humorless irony of it.

So….folks are believing the $130 million donation for the military? Do we have any independent confirmation that this happened? I thought that we were all on the same page that this is just a Trump tall tale which he told in the moment to derail uncomfortable questions. No? It’s all checked out?

Thank you, Chicago.

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.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

Changes to Oklahoma’s curriculum rules make it so teachers aren’t supposed to tell students that the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — a defining incident of racial violence in Oklahoma history — was perpetrated by racists. ➡️ Full story: https://propub.li/3WXTkFm

The reason Trump illegally used an anonymous billionaire to pay soldiers during the Epstein Shutdown is because he's going to need troops for the Insurrection Act and martial law. The reason he'll let the poor die is because he doesn't give a shit about them. Their lives don't advance his schemes.

WH allows criminal bribe anonymity

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board pulled no punches Friday in castigating President Donald Trump for pardoning "crypto kingpin Changpeng Zhao, who happens to be a Trump family business partner.

For allies who rely on our constancy, a shutdown isn’t just a domestic issue. It sends a message that America’s greatest vulnerability may not be on the battlefield, but in our own governance. www.thebulwark.com/p/for-the-mi...

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

The casual bragging about how many boats and how many people the Pentagon has killed is what gets me. Celebrating your own utter disregard for human life is sociopathic. We don’t have a Department of Defense anymore, we have a cosplay convention for Call of Duty.

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them. That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

In Opinion “The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

Trump is rigging maps to build a Congress that serves only him, not the people. @AOC knows the power to stop him is in California’s hands—Prop 50 is how we fight back and win. #YesOnProp50

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

California is the first state to deploy National Guard to assist with food stock and distribution at food banks across the state as well as an 80 million emergency fund to help Californians survive the loss of SNAP under the government shutdown.

Girls this is what I have been saying since this bs started. Hunkering down a bit there eh? FYI at this point everyone in America and most of the world is all thinking the same thing…don’t even need to spell it out. Doubt we’ll be patient enough to wait for the renovations to be completed though.

It’s finally happening. Get ready to go, or to build the community networks in DC and where you are that will be necessary to protect those who will fight for human dignity. refusefascism.org/events/nov5/ If you can’t participate, you can keep others calm through steady reassurance and kindness.

They just bought Dominion. Pretty sure any states that use them will be GOP forever.

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.

In CA, the National Guard is being deployed in humanitarian efforts rather than law enforcement in a made up “war zone” 🇺🇸🙌 #GOPShutdown #TrumpShutdown abc7news.com/post/governo...

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 elections — filling his administration with election deniers, weaponizing the Justice Department, and attacking the rule of law. Trump’s allies are preparing to control every part of the election process.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod. And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.
