Trump directs Pentagon to ‘immediately’ start testing US nuclear weapons. US president references China and Russia in Truth Social post shortly before meeting with President Xi Jinping. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S., according to internal Defense Department memos. - WSJ

Can’t wait until malnourishment reaches the point where you need healthcare, but then are denied healthcare because it was completely unaffordable. Great plan, Republicans. Y’all are geniuses.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Oh look! A list of 83 Bible verses about feeding the hungry! No reason! www.openbible.info/topics/feeding

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

So the New York Times has decided they've had a good run, but journalism is not their thing anymore.

"In one call, a federal agent describes being rammed and run off the road by an unknown assailant. In another, a woman sobs as she describes seeing federal law enforcement officers force a man out of his car and point rifles at him as he lies down in the street" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/911-aud...

Melania Trump doesn't want people talking about her relationship with Epstein or the fact that he alleged that the first time she & Donald had sex was on his private jet. Michael Wolff is suing Melania, and he wants answers. Give this conversation a listen! open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Stay awake.

Our commander in chief is insane and is pushing the world towards destruction.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months. 700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

Let's not lose sight all of this, the shutdown, 24 million Americans about to lose their health insurance, 42 million Americans about to go hungry, is all because the GOP needs to keep the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein Files from being sworn in. 1/

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls. But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

The refusal to fund SNAP will drive millions into hunger. But when the Trump administration chooses cruelty, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social chooses courage. Grateful for her joining this suit to keep people fed.

the cruelty is the point

We also wonder this

Epstein's clients didn't stop r*ping kids when he was arrested. They never stopped. Releasing the unredacted files isn't just about justice for the now adult victims. It's also about saving children who are being abused RIGHT NOW. And the GOP will starve children to protect the monsters.

I will never forget my immigrant neighbors coming to my house with a thermos of hot water and enchiladas during a 4 days below zero power outage. I don’t even know them yet they made sure I was ok. It really helped me.

UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE DON'T QUALIFY FOR SNAP BUT I PROMISE YOU IF YOU SHOWED UP AT THEIR DOOR HUNGRY, THEY WOULD FEED YOU!!

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue? MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Worth remembering…

Tip of the effin' ICEberg, this is.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

An American president threatened to use military force against American cities while on foreign soil. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

There are military families that depend on SNAP benefits. Veterans, low-wage workers at places like Walmart and Amazon, too. But sure, Republicans, keep telling us the people who get them are just lazy and won’t work, while billionaire donors keep getting more tax cuts.

A federal judge has intensified her oversight of Trump’s immigration crackdown on Chicago, now requiring top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino to appear daily in court and to turn over all reports of agents’ use of force and body-camera footage.

JD Vance is lying. He knows he’s lying. But he doesn’t care. Trump has taught Vance & all the others in my former political party that the truth doesn’t matter.

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What despicable men.

Shannon - please submit your video of this to this site. Continue to do the right thing for this woman. Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

It’s pretty convenient how they aren’t releasing employment data with the government shut down.

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian." He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

"One agent appeared to grab a woman’s phone as she recorded him. When she tried to retrieve her phone, he grabbed her by the hair, pulled her across the road and pushed her to the ground." Happening in tiny Durango, CO today. www.durangoherald.com/articles/con...

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

Here is Mike Johnson complaining he is tired. 40 million people are about to starve. Rep. Grijalva was elected five weeks ago and he still hasn’t sworn her in. AND YOU SAY YOU’RE TIRED?
