got some bad news for anyone who voted for Trump because he promised to bring down prices www.ft.com/content/dd6d...

79% of Americans, including 75% of Republicans, think the Trump regime should release the Epstein files. Yet the White House and Speaker Mike Johnson are desperately trying to hide the facts about Trump’s sex predator ex-friend. Why? What’s in those files that has Trump so worried?

Can think of a lot of hospitals, schools and food pantries that could use twenty billion dollars to actually help our own citizens…

One might refer Vance to a mirror. trib.al/DV9pD5X

It is all grift and corruption

Even the phrase "liberal bias" is misleading. They're not going after "liberal bias," but *criticism of the regime.* Those are two different things.

GOP/Trump authoritarian regime is fully committed to lie filled propaganda.

We will not compromise the privacy of Washington voters by turning over confidential information that both state and federal law prohibit us from disclosing. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/09/23/w...

Klobuchar: "Pardoning the insurrectionists, what happened with the Eric Adams case when they dropped those charges, the decision not to pursue a reported bribe attempt on Border Czar Homan for $50,000 -- all these are in same milieu. But this thing? This thing is actually using the law as a weapon."

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Pritzker: "MAGA Republicans in Congress may be in control now, but in 2026 they will not be unless Donald Trump does something to change this country fundamentally. And that is what he's trying to do ... we Democrats are going to win in 2026, but not if Donald Trump is allowed to cheat."

Another example of a little, fragile, insecure man needing to find a victim he can bully in order to reassure himself. This isn’t strength it is the saddest sort of weakness.

Same week: 1. “Trump added $3 billion [in wealth] over the last year, leveraging the presidency for profit.” 2. “.. sales of foods commonly purchased when financial times get tough are on the rise ..” @zacheverson.com @nytimes.com www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

This gold ornamentation fetish flows from the soul of a damaged little boy, now a pathological narcissist, who needs to have his fragile ego stroked constantly. A strong, confident person doesn’t need this kind of ego-stroking.

Make Lies-to-congress Illegal Again

Trump declares war against any Americans that resist his dictatorship.

if I were a member of the current Trump administration I would not be excited about the concept of “illegal pardons”

Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration? This will end it pretty much entirely. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Shutting down USAID will cost taxpayers $6.4 billion over two years. That’s enough money to save more than one million children’s lives. Read @nickkristof.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Nick Kristof went to talk to some of the moms losing their beloved children to Trump’s aid cuts. We are paying storage on already existing food rather than release it to starving kids. “I loved my child so much” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Meanwhile, the meanest and most accurate thing you can say about Jimmy Fallon is that the Trump administration isn’t worried about him in the slightest.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @repricklarsen.bsky.social Time to speak out loud and clear. We want and need your leadership NOW! We can’t wait for 2026. They won’t let something like elections stop them from overthrowing our democracy.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

FT: “.. Trump pledged on the campaign trail last year that he would ‘cut your energy and electricity prices in half, within 12 months of taking the oath of office’ ..” 🤡 @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/4e19...

Where are the op-eds about What The GOP Who Controls Congress Must Do to end the worst Article I crisis in history? Where are the calls for corporations to Do Things? Where are the takes about how Kirk's assassination is a warning to the right? What is Ben Shapiro doing on Ezra Klein's show? 🤷‍♂️👇🤦‍♂️

Mike Johnson. John Thune. Susan Collins. Lisa Murkowski. Total free passes. The GOP, as a political party, & the leaders in charge of Congress, amidst unprecedented corruption & fascist lawbreaking, don't even exist to the people on the NYT op-ed page. They literally are not actors in 🇺🇸 politics.

“A real president doesn’t push an angry, hateful, divisive message in the aftermath of a political assassination…pit American against American…incite violence…prioritize silencing dissent and seeking retribution…prefer dictatorship over democracy.” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-a-rea...

@murray.senate.gov Senator Murray, please, please, please do not let Schumer weenie out!!

My column: Our Allies Are Asking: ‘Why Does Putin Still Own Trump?’ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

as much as he is a standard-issue extremist with the usual indifference to human life, i wonder if, also, vought’s hatred is shaped by what must have been a profound feeling of helplessness in the face of nature. he wants to fill that wound by forcing others to feel as helpless as he did

“I can’t stand the word empathy” —Charlie Kirk

When the entire Republican Party is engaged in a massive propaganda effort, full of falsehoods and fear, of course they won’t mention any facts that contradict their propaganda. Their Fox News minions gobble it up.

It’s time to stop thinking America is heading toward fascism. We’re there. www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-thr...

It's not good enough to say Trump is heading toward fascism. It's not good enough to say it seems like he might become dictatorial. The media--& the public--needs to tell the truth & do so without mealy-mouthed rhetoric. We can't overcome this problem if we think it exists somewhere in the future.

GOP/Trump regime: “Sure we have elections, but only we can win. You know just like Russia and Hungary.”

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

This is the central question facing the USA: will we have “will we have free, fair, and democratic” elections in 2026/28? The GOP/Trump authoritarian regime is moving quickly to ensure that we don’t. Will America be a democracy or a totalitarian dictatorship?

Duckworth: "It was an illegal move by the Trump administration. There's a thing called due process in this country and that needed to have happened. And the fact it happened in international waters actually opens Americans to a similar action by our adversaries"

Vote Trump in, get rising unemployment. Because this so-called businessman doesn’t have the faintest idea how the economy works.

Congratulations to the GOP/Trump regime on rapidly destroying manufacturing jobs!

Never forget. responsibility for Trump 2.0 is 100% at the feet of the full Republican Party. McConnell deserves his traitor status, but that does not absolve the entire mechanism of the GOP.

Apparently, Chuck Schumer is an operative of the Republican Party.

CARNEY: “.. Our relationship with the United States, so essential for so many industries, was once one of our greatest strengths, and in many cases, in certain sectors, has become a vulnerability.” 🇨🇦 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

BARTLETT: Negative consequences from tariffs didn’t happen right away — “and WH lies convinced many .. that the economists were wrong. Now the chickens are coming home to roost ..”

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

If we survive this fascist treason, we’re going to need serious Nuremberg-like trials. No half-assed Merrick Garland shit. Prominent people need to be clapped in irons.
