The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

50 states and 340 million people. He can’t win. Remember that too.

We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office. The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense. The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace. Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

I will say, watching the behavior of the Generals today, respectful but reserved and apolitical in the face of Trump was heartening. Hopefully the next generation of officers, the young ones, see that and take it to heart.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Trump says he can do things for venegence... Irreversible cuts... if Dems don't pass his big fat billionaire tax scam. Dems - hold the line! Fire everyone....we don't care! Trump gets fed money from those of us in a very few states. He should remember that. 1/

Remember how MAGA swore Milei was turning Argentina around and his radical cuts were the blueprint we needed to use here? Well, now Argentina’s stock market is the worst on the planet and we’re giving them a $20 billion dollar bailout. Fun times.

Crypto. I think the billionaires will try and steal the countries hard currency and prop up social supports on crypto for it to fail. Not just the states either. The maple MAGAts want to do that too

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Still happening.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 1,514 measles cases as of Sept. 24, the highest number of annual cases since the United States declared measles eliminated in 2000. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

Looking for the helpers. ❤️ (Sorry it’s on Facebook) www.facebook.com/thedodosite/...

McMorrow: Meanwhile, farmers are being told, “You’ll be okay because we’re going to bail you out.” Having pennies put back in your pocket while Donald Trump is building ballrooms or filling the Oval Office with gold décor from Home Depot just feels insulting. It is beyond insulting.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

Here’s the thing, while everyday Americans may momentarily fear the idea of military troops invading our cities, the reality is that there aren’t enough troops to do it everywhere. And even the number of troops that may be sent to a city is minuscule vs population size. It’s all theater for fear.

Charlie Kirk was the 18,533rd American shot and killed in 2025. Why is he the only one people are talking about? What about the 18,532 before him? What about the roughly 400 hundred who were shot and killed since then? Does anyone know any of their names?

Who are the extreme killers? 99% white republican males.

The “supreme court “ is no longer to be trusted.

An old term Yellow Journalism - is a type of news reporting that uses sensationalism, exaggeration, and even lies to attract readers and increase circulation, often by focusing on lurid or scandalous stories rather than objective facts In this way journalism as stating it’s almost an oxymoron

Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

The supposedly Christian Right's response to the violence that took Charlie Kirk (a violence they claim is abhorrent) is to call for greater violence against—well, everyone who doesn't align with them politically and theologically, apparently.

In a normal America, we can all agree that a major threat to our national security is the radicalization of young men and conspiracies that drive them to violence. But that would mean acknowledging the threats and also talking about right-wing extremism, which is the #1 domestic terror threat.

I’ve witnessed 50-plus years of politics. I lived through the unrest of the 1960s and 70s. I wanted to use this week’s Coffee Klatch to provide some context for this dangerous moment we’re facing right now. https://youtu.be/CVs1QmWYFmE

The MSM whitewashing of Kirk is in full swing. They talk about his advocacy for civil debate, but they won’t play anything he said to stoke incivility. They talk about his opposition to violence, but nobody talks about his role in J6. We are watching Kirk’s history being rewritten in real time.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

In summary: The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk. It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for. Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.
