Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

Proof that Trump’s tariffs hurt no one but US the taxpayer and the FARMERS who risk losing China as a customer. We can’t bail them out every year because it’s a net loss to us … the TAXPAYER of BILLIONS!!!! State and local Republicans support Trump and making you pay too. #NorthCarolina #ncpol

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Listen to Donnie Bone Spurs here

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

What's wild here is Democrats are begging Republicans to please not let premiums skyrocket under Republican watch when Republicans would be blamed, and Republicans are like twirling their mustaches saying "no the premiums will go up under our tenure"

Flatly untrue: *No legal requirement to cut programs/employees under shutdowns. Never happened before. *In Feb, Vought told agencies to prioritize firing employees deemed non-essential during shutdown to enable DOGE mass firings that occurred before the shutdown. www.opm.gov/chcoc/latest...

Hegseth just tapped Anthony Tata to lead a “cultural refresh” at the Pentagon. Don’t be fooled: Tata once smeared Obama as a “terrorist leader.” This is a purge, and it puts loyalty to a man above the Constitution. In an hour or so...I have a full piece coming out on Anthony Tata. Stay tuned.

We Are All Jane Fonda. 🇺🇸

What kind of loser can’t keep the government running when his party controls the House of Representatives, Senate, Executive Branch, and SCOTUS? The kind of loser who bankrupts casinos; Donald Trump. The Biggest, Whiniest LOSER!

This bit, & the one in the next reskeet, need to be fully unpacked. What Hegseth is asserting here is that the zero defect concept, which plays an important role in an up or out military, is going away as long as he's SecDef. 1/

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Yes, let's absolutely talk more about the North Carolina state budget.

By the way, when Ingraham asks Homan about the 50 K in a bag, and he doesn’t deny it but just says I did nothing illegal, it’s pretty obvious that it or something very much like it happened. And if it did, crazy to shut down investigation so soon. Pretty clear administration isn’t being straight.

If the Rapture only happened to people who believe it is a real thing, this would be a much more pleasant and sane country to live in.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

The most powerful nation in the world has an idiot as president. An utter idiot.

Just like, stop COVID testing and the amount infected goes down. Same old playbook.

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:

#ResistanceRoots Upton Sinclair was born on this day in 1878 in Baltimore. A prolific writer and journalist, he is most famous for his 1906 novel The Jungle, exposing unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry. He ran for governor of California in 1934 on a platform of ending poverty. /1

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

(1,2) Gun violence affects all of us. Decent and important Americans are getting shot and killed every day. Bullets don't care if you are Republican or Democrat. If people who love Charlie Kirk want to honor him, they should join me to pass The Charlie Kirk Jaime Guttenberg Gun Safety Act.

NEVER FORGET: SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE = OUR MONEY. THEY ARE EARNED BENEFITS, NOT AN ENTITLEMENTS, NOT HANDOUTS, IT IS OUR MONEY, EVERY LAST PENNY!

JD Vance: “I don’t believe Trump” will improve the lives of his voters. { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }

JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }

JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }

Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social

Calling on @jaketapper.bsky.social to do the right thing.

This means his personal lawyer Todd Blanche is telling Maxwell to talk about Clinton and not about Trump.

If an asteroid was streaking toward Earth, would media do features on its speed and its shape but avoid warning us that we faced a huge die-off? If not, why do they cover Trump from 1,000 angles without stating explicitly that he’s building a dictatorship? Why do they avoid the most important fact?

Three things you can say about a man who appears in public looking like this: 1. Nobody loves him. Not a soul. 2. He's not of sound mind. 3. That ear was never even scratched.

Trump has no idea who stopped supplies to Ukraine... meanwhile in the past month he's redecorated the cabinet room, picked out where to put in a new flag pole, and is designing a new area for the rose garden to throw parties. Who's president while he's playing first lady?

Welcome to the USA of 2025, where condemning genocide is deemed antisemitism and can get you deported, but building concentration camps and calling bankers ‘Shylocks’ doesn’t get condemned by the news media at all.

Where's @jaketapper.bsky.social ?

We live in the dumbest possible timeline

“ICE” better catch a clue before they attack folks and then lie to a judge about being attacked. We are watching and recording them, as is our right. We’re not just relying on surveillance video.

It's sad, but I'd rather know than not. 😳👇

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor. No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state. 📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social, I’d hate for you to regret not looking into trump’s decline. You should work on that now, while it’s happening.

The man does not have the emotional, intellectual, or civic qualifications to lead this nation.
