"But Sir, the people are starving." "Let them eat cake." - Trump

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

The “president” is not just unhinged & unwell. He is also a colossal vindictive asshole and a completely incompetent moron. When I have more characters, I’ll tell you what I really think.

FAFO 😠

Trump is running everything into the ground while grifting billions for himself and his family.

24,576 pounds of cheddar cheese to Food Bank for the Heartland in Nebraska; 270,000 eggs to Harvest Hope Food Bank in South Carolina; 4,640 pounds of chicken legs to Maui Food Bank in Hawaii --> just some of the food aid canceled by Trump projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Trump “determined” that drug cartels are “non-state armed groups” whose actions “constitute an armed attack against the United States.” trib.al/BfqOvCn

MAGA told you it was about protecting kids. But when Trump fought to hide the Epstein files—because he’s in them—they defended him instead. The mask is off. It was never about pedophiles. It was always about Trump. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.

The Trump administration illegally defunded the police in NYC to pressure Democratic leaders Trump, two days later: “I reversed the cuts…It was my honor to do so.” You can’t make this sh*t up.

If Joe Biden’s “spiritual advisor” had pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12 year old girl, Fox would be playing that shit on a loop 24/7.

Even Grok knows the truth and is shouting it in ALL CAPS.

Which party incites violence again?

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl. He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

History 101. “They’re having problems with their economy again” (1975) by Ron Cobb.

Trump's weakness is a chronic condition, and it's getting worse. www.newsletter.samuel-warde.com/p/trumps-wea...

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year. I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

So Qatar gets NATO Article 5 level protection, but Ukraine does not? This is raw corruption in action.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Trump has quietly decided that the U.S. is now in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels that he views as terrorists.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

NGL I’M PROUD: That the Generals and SNCOs at Quantico had the military bearing to not cheer or clap for that disgraceful speech. @SecWar is a drunk, sexual assaulting racist who thought it was clever to give fuck ups in the armed forces permission to be drunks, racists, sexual assaulters!

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

ICE Is Buying a Tool to Track Hundreds of Millions of Phones, Without Warrants Trump is quietly building a surveillance state, and almost no one is paying attention.

It's funny how the isolationists used to warn that war always comes home, but now they're the ones literally declaring war on fellow Americans

It's those doggone Jewish space lasers again. 🤡

“Stop the Lying, Trump and Republicans Own This Government Shutdown” Read ⁦‪John Harwood‬⁩ for Zeteo:

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com The growing embrace of James Talarico, a Texas Democratic lawmaker running for Senate, suggests that “things have gotten so bad in this country that even some of us who don’t have faith ourselves find comfort in listening to those who do,” Michelle Goldberg writes.

MAGA/GOP want to rule. Rule over the ashes. 😠 (Otherwise they might have to share a drinking fountain with a colored person.)

Rep. Jason Crow: "Donald Trump and his administration will do anything they want to do. Period It doesn't matter what the law says. It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. It doesn't what Congress says. It's time for us to acknowledge that fact."

They'd impeach him? The President? He says that like it's a bad thing. 😠

Calling all medical professionals to voice their opinions..

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Illegal people eating our healthcare?? Oh wait, that's aimed at the gullible; the MAGA/GOP. 😠

Anytime/every time this chucklefuck steps foot in a briefing room with press the first question should be: "You said that you 'create stories' as a cover for dangerous lies. Why should we believe anything you say here today?"

Rep. Lieu: “Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were expecting rousing applause and standing ovations from our nation's generals, and they were met with silence…The generals knew that what Trump was saying was wrong. We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our cities.”

Shocker of all shockers...

This morning was pure psychopathy. On the world stage. In front of generals and admirals who have actual important work to do. Performative partisan political rhetoric from an angry macho dimwitted sociopath and a ranting rambling repetitive narcissist in chief. Absurd. Troubling. And surreal.

"If your CEO is smart enough to suck up to Trump by giving him a 24-carat plaque, you can get an exemption from the tariffs. If you’re a farmer — that is, part of a group Trump sees as loyal supporters — you might be lucky enough to get a taxpayer-funded bailout. Everyone else? You’ll be paying."

I wonder how Pete Hegseth feels about fat presidents?

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.
