If one of your Senators is one of the four (Thune, Scott, Lankford, and Johnson) who has come out v Ingrassia for his Nazi views, you might call and ask when they're going to call out Stephen Miller, who is also a white nationalist, but who also serves as a gatekeeper to what Trump thinks is true.

The Republican shutdown means that nonessential federal employees like soldiers and TSA agents aren't being paid anymore, but rest assured that the truly vital work of this administration -- building a Dancing with the Stars ballroom for the dementia-addled president -- still goes on.

And the boobs at dhs spelled Colombia wrong, too!

Some news outlets played coy, calling it “brown liquid” or “sewage.” But let’s call it like it is, because it matters that the holder of an office that once required a bit of dignity thinks dropping shit on the heads of the people he’s supposed to represent is funny. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier" on.ft.com/4n9nlNd

Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

Donald Trump promised to unite the people of this nation, and then did exactly the opposite. But, in fairness, today, he united a record number of Americans to attend our historic "No Kings" rallies.

#NoKings Columbia, SC

The fact that Republican “fiscal conservatives” in Congress aren’t saying a word about Trump’s $40 billion bailout of Argentina (“America first!!!”) just shows that they’re complete hypocrites.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

What's being "made in the basement out of love"?

I love this for Dr. Phil, who is a charlatan.

Only the worst people...

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” By @megomatz.bsky.social & @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

“CDC will have lost its ability to detect outbreaks and respond to them. It will no longer be able to track diseases, in America and around the globe. That includes infectious threats like flu, foodborne illnesses, and Ebola, as well as chronic diseases and injuries.” time.com/7325192/cdc-...

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program. ➡️ Read more: https://propub.li/4odsKnn

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Is Qatar footing the bill?

Required reading. The magas are a bunch of dumbasses, but they're really good at messaging.

“This is not sustainable”

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Disgraceful, yes. Surprising, no.

Oooops

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Although border czar Tom Homan has repeatedly said he recused himself from any “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts,” ProPublica obtained records showing he has had at least some involvement in contracting conversations.

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts." On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

The year is 2003. 17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity." Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

Madeleine Dean is a badass. Mike Johnson is a pussy.

Judge Simon's right - he wasn't required to recuse, though he had the discretion to. The problem arises when principled judges recuse even if there's an appearance of bias but unprincipled judges like Alito and Thomas don't.

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.” - Trump, October 31, 2024

So the only people who get government welfare because they lost money from Trump tariffs are people who sold soybeans to the Chinese because they overwhelmingly voted for Trump, but no other businesses or people get any relief. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Remember when Republican pundits used to threaten to shoot Census workers if they knocked in their door?

Look, everything about this is embarrassing and horrible, but I’d like to zero in on him proudly and loudly trumpeting PROJECT 2025. Every member of the media who willingly snowed themselves when he said he knew nothing about it should be embarrassed to be seen in public ever again.

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.
