Worth a listen👇

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

As the most powerful man alive descends into utter madness, it continues to feel like we're all just sitting here watching it happen and feeling helpless The agents he's referring to were engaged in intel-gathering during a domestic terror attack Everything else he says is a batshit psychotic rant

A good summary of the *latest* insanity. Crazy to think it'll get worse. Although ... I wonder how many of Donald's personal lawyers are left to fill the future vacancies 🤔? Perhaps they will share the jobs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hukr...

War ravaged Portland.

Ah, Donald's using the military again. This time to "War ravaged" (🤦‍♂️) Portland. She was right 👇

Of course. That's someone else that tried to hold Donald accountable.

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

Very deliberate incitement of hate, mixing religion with dehumanizing language, all to inspire violence and division.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

Ah, I thought they sounded familiar. Headlines from May 2025 and September 2025.

“.. days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act ‘now’ to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes ..” abcnews.go.com/US/former-fb...

A strongly worded letter isn't going to do it. But this might 👇

Donald's posts read like they were written by a child. There's his immature love of nicknames. So if you thought displaying portraits of the presidents would be dignified ... you've clearly not been paying any attention. Fortunately the internet has stepped in with alternative versions. Like this:

An advanced democracy holds a former leader accountable 👀 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Great news. Science 🎉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

2/ "Monthslong investigation ...failed to establish probable cause ... meaning that not only would they be unable to secure a conviction of Comey by proving the claims beyond a reasonable doubt, but that they couldn’t reach a significantly lower standard to secure an indictment, the sources said."

Ah, another critic of Donald. He seems to be working through his perceived enemies list. (Of course Donald may well have lost the 2016 election if it wasn't for Comey's actions. There's a lesson in there for Donald's current supporters)

Music to Putin's ears. Article 5, anyone? No? 🤷‍♂️

"China, the world's biggest buyer of soybeans, has yet to purchase any U.S. soybean cargoes from its autumn harvest, traders have said." - Reuters Those farmers that voted for Donald must be like: 🤔

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

🤷🏼

They don't say that, for good reason Over India and Pakistan? Nope. PM Modi said that Donald wasn't involved. Russia invading Ukraine? He didn't end that war in 24 hours. I guess he posted "VLADIMIR, STOP" but that doesn't seem to have worked. Israel continuing to destroy Gaza? Dept. of War? 🤔

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Given the last 24 hours, been thinking about this again: "Donoghue told Trump he would lose his "entire department" if he moved ahead." "I said, 'Mr. President, I would resign immediately"" What would've happened if the *current* bunch had been in place back then 🤔 www.npr.org/2022/06/23/1...

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

it was literally in a bag www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

At the risk of staying the obvious ... If you sign this, you are in no way a journalist.

Unreal: The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia has now resigned after Trump threatened to fire him for failing to find sufficient evidence to prosecute NY AG Letitia James. Reupping this piece/thread on how appallingly corrupt this all is:

This is amazing.

watching this trump news conference and it is just a nonstop stream of absolute nonsense and actual lies although, it is not clear whatsoever whether or not trump can distinguish between the truth and his own fantasies

A federal judge has thrown out President Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times. The suit, he says, "stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements" of federal court rules. It is "decidedly improper and impermissible." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Colbert unleashed. Once all of Donald's critics have been fired by the free speech people, hopefully the ratings collapse, advertisers leave, and that'll be that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGL...

Recall Donald's civil fraud case 👀

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

Ah the "free speech" (it was never about free speech) folk are at it again. He was a prominent critic of Donald who would relentlessly mock him, night after night. Cankles and all. Just like Stephen Colbert. Donald said before the election he hated being laughed at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real… Patel: That’s false Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation." (In other words, stagflation)

Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to -17 in our tracker, the worst of his second term www.economist.com/interactive/...
