Wind turbines? "What about the poor birds?" Shipping emissions? "Fuck the birds!"

My favorite wall Trump never built remains the one between his administration(s) and his business

Imagine if KJP or Psaki had said this about the Republican base: not just that half of them were “deplorables” but that the GOP’s “main constituency is made up of domestic terrorists, white supremacists, and violent criminals”? The media, not just Fox, would be in meltdown. GOP would be screaming!

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

HARNESS THE ENERGY. Impeach, convict, remove. It is absolutely the most popular thing they could do.

D leaders need to show up at the protests this time. They were absent last time, and that contributed to the lack of media coverage.

All right. This is an opportunity. Prior #NoKings protests were huge but did not get the media coverage they deserved. Now R’s are anticipating NoKings will hurt them. So they are proactively lying in the media about 10/18. We shd use this: D leaders should be in the media talking about #NoKings.

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.

True bravery!

The Christian state of Alabama. "For more than a week, Mitchell was naked, wet and covered in feces on the concrete floor, the lawsuit alleged."

Atrocious! Whoever the President was on January 6, 2021 should have to account for this. That president should be brought before Congress to answer for his FBI's actions. I mean, what kind of irresponsible, weak-minded, dementia-adled abomination would allow such a thing to happen on his watch?!

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating. Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Republicans are choosing to protect pedophiles over paying our troops…

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2016...

“None of these statements are true.” MEMPHIS DA Steve Mulroy FACT-CHECKS @AGPamBondi’s sworn testimony before Congress. His post (with Spandau Ballet soundtrack 🎵): www.instagram.com/p/DPmv-WKEil...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

"But the Commander in Chief is on the golf course, and the Speaker of the House has recessed Congress. The government that demands obedience from its soldiers has stopped honoring the most basic obligation: to pay those who serve. This is not a funding glitch. It is a moral breakdown."

“The owners of industrial factory farms don’t want to alert nearby communities about releases of dangerous gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide because they don’t want to be held responsible for the brain and lung damage and deaths their emissions can cause,” according to the Center.

Lordy there are pictures:

Johnson and Lauer are stalling. If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip. The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

It raises taxes on seniors who use cannabis. It raises taxes on workers who use cannabis. It unfairly puts the burden of fixing the damn roads on people who use cannabis, rather than people who drive cars and companies who transport products in trucks.

Good lord. @apnews.com

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

I completely agree….

Among the more obvious differences, this was about using the Alabama National Guard to enforce federal law *in Alabama*, where the state government was defying court orders. Note that even in that much more extreme context, Kennedy used the Alabama National Guard, not some other state's.

Dear #BlueWizards, It is sad that so many people *still* can't understand Trump - even if it was hard at first... www.johnrraymond.greatlibrary.io/post/i-can-m... @aoc.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @realjakebroe.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @avindman.bsky.social

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

1. Thomas Massie is a Republican. 2. Mike Johnson just sent Republicans home with pay during a government shutdown to avoid his Constitutional duty to swear in a duly elected member of Congress in order to keep the Epstein files from the American people. #releasetheepsteinfiles

What are in the Epstein files that is worth keeping the government shutdown?

The ability of conservatives to convince a significant portion of the country Biden was President a year earlier than he was says nothing good about the general cognitive function of the electorate.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

"Part of the road funding comes with an approved 24% tax hike on cannabis sales in the state, a move many business owners spoke out against during negotiations. Lawmakers estimated $420 million annually from the new tax." 420 million in revenue is why 24%. Cannabis consumers are still a big joke.

Thanks, New Yorker

It's beyond time to call the President's intent to wage a "war from within" what it is: Treason. @citizensimpeachment.com does just that in its new article of impeachment. citizensimpeachment.com/article-of-i...
