The headlines these days are like: DHS Announces Swastika as New Logo Trump Caught in Cabinet meeting with Pants Down CDC Announces Free Measles Injections for Children War with Random Country Imminent for No Reason President Pardons Pedophiles and Insurrectionists

It’s about to be a cold winter, and many Maryland families rely on federal programs to heat their homes. One of those programs, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, is being delayed because of Trump’s federal shutdown.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Big old hawk crashed into my front door this afternoon and then took a few minutes to shake it off before flying off.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw. "Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks. Lairmore won't confirm. "I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

“Morituri te salutamus Oberster Fuhrer de Gestapo Noem” Trump bought 2 new Gulfstream G700 private jets for Kristi Noem ~$80 million each paid for courtesy of The Long Suffering American Taxpayer But no $$ for Medicare, USAID, starving Americans, etc etc www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is Idaho 💙

A No Kings organizer in Franconia, VA tells @eggerdc.bsky.social that the turnout has been "beyond anything we had expected"

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Trump’s EPA canceled a $20M flood protection grant for the area in May, calling it “wasteful DEI spending.”

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Kamala Harris was correct about everything she warned us about.

Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

Rand Paul argues to Will Cain that killing people withou process is bad: "Let's say there's a house in your neighborhood & they're selling fentanyl & thousands of people have died & you're mad, do you go over there and just kill them or burn them? No, you go to a judge and you get a warrant."

"In the context of the larger fight against cancer, the failure to pass the Give Kids a Chance Act is just one of many political setbacks." A failure, a disgrace, and an abdication of congressional responsibility.

Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

Credit to Mika Brzezinski for not putting up with Tom Homan's BS this morning. This was a hard-hitting interview.

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

My office is intervening in a lawsuit to defend our shield law and stop Texas from imposing its cruel abortion ban here in New York.  Our shield law exists to protect New Yorkers from out-of-state extremists, and our state will always stand as a safe haven for freedom of choice.

Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.

James Carville just sent me an email with the subject line "Earth to Allison Gill." What the fuck? Fuck you, dude.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"! Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective. #TerrifiedOfTheEPSTEIN_Files 😨

This part.

Protesters fill the streets against ICE in Chicago 9/6/25

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

My melocactus is fruiting. They look like little white chili peppers. I want to eat them but I also want to save the seeds.

I’ll drink to that! 🥃

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

Funny how that works.

ICE arrested the father of one of the volunteers at the food bank our podcast network partners with. The volunteer has worked over 400 hours helping distribute food to those in need. The food bank is raising money to help his family. You can give here: www.gofundme.com/f/ice-arrest...

to be clear around 200 rounds struck CDC facilities, many / most of the remaining 300 were likely fired by police. in a situation like this people returning fire tend to empty their weapons repeatedly.
