"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Complete disregard for human life

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Newsom: Joe Rogan is the Facebook of podcasting.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

[looks around for jake tapper] hey man, do you, uh, want to write about this?

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.

Facts. 💯👊🏻

This explains so much

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

But they are afraid they may have to release the Epstein files if they go back into session.

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt."

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

toleration.....

🎀🎀

I can’t believe how furious this makes me

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad. They didn’t misrepresent anything. Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Imagine if we did this but instead of paying people to racially profile and terrorize communities and grab mostly innocent people we did it for teachers

They thought they could silence us. We had a surprise for them: www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/how-americ...

Midday reminder. He doesn’t care. But we must. Participate in your democracy. Use your voice by contacting your members of Congress. Remind them that they work for YOU. 📱 202-224-3121

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war. “Seizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go. 1/2

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Worst. President. EVER.

I don’t know if Kamala Harris plans to run in 2028, but this here is a master class in how to handle a loaded question. “I never listen to polls. If I listened to polls, I would never have run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here in this interview.” 🔥

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

And Epstein files dodger. Release The Files‼️

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice. He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Trump’s mandate to fast-track 10,000 new hires is coming at a cost: quality. As anyone can see from the cache of videos all over the internet, ICE is a mess. Not only has training been cut from 13 weeks to 6 weeks. They’re letting people with criminal records, failed drug tests…

Donald Trump is building a ballroom twice the size of the White House. He says it’s “his money,” but it’s really from companies chasing favors. Meanwhile, farmers can’t sell soybeans and the government’s shut down. This isn’t what Americans voted for.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Donald Trump is a broken man who's breaking our country.

Stefanik endorsed, campaigned, and fundraised for George Santos.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly on CNN: "We have many ideas on how to bring down the cost of healthcare, to continue to do that, and we've already demonstrated it in the working families tax cut. We had real reforms to Medicaid that have brought down the cost and saved about $185b for taxpayers."

We're back to sharks and batteries, folks.

Jeffries: "Republicans are the party of lawlessness and disorder, including the ongoing crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave which is running the largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country in real time. And we hear nothing but crickets from Mike Johnson."
