"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

At times Trump explicitly favors some racial groups, like white South Africans, while targeting others for worse treatment, particularly African-Americans and Latinos. Trump is “weaponizing the tools of the Civil Rights Movement” against the people intended to be its beneficiaries. trib.al/2FFlcEk

3 months since Larry Burton went missing in Greensboro

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said information on “substantial support” for farmers would be released next week.

The government is shutting down. Immigration courts are wide open

Photojournalist @yourstorymatters.bsky.social says a federal officer shot him multiple times with pepper balls while he was clearly marked as press and covering a protest at an Illinois ICE facility Sept. 26.

ICYMI: Trump announced the deployment of at least 200 military troops to Portland, Oregon, claiming he is defending the country against “domestic terrorists.” The president said he is “authorizing Full Force” in the “War ravaged” blue city.

Why did he agree to come on then? Pretty sad when the propaganda you're pushing falls apart under questioning and you just bail. I mean, at least his cohorts would make up a stupid lie and pretend they knew what they were talking about. This is weak.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Rieckhoff: And if you watched that speech, you'd think that our enemies are fat generals, the city of Portland, Trump's political enemies and DEI

Newsom signs first-in-the-nation AI safety disclosures law

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

“It’s no accident that after his post authorizing the ‘Secretary of War’ to use ‘Full Force’ against an imaginary organization the right like to call ‘Antifa’, he tweeted out a cartoon of himself firing Powell.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

youtube.com/watch?v=EB42... Maga Republicans who voted for Trump killed Charlie Kirk, killed the church people, killed in Louisiana, and killed in Texas. They're just sad ,disturbed in the brain if they have one , just garbage 🗑

Since we're saving coal & manufacturing & playing all the greatest hits, your regular reminder that most Americans now work in the non-tradable services sector, experience trade only as consumers, & the mercantilism does nothing but make them poorer when they shop at Target, Costco, & Walmart.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Trump orders the Guard deployed to Portland after falsely declaring it a war-ravaged city. Meanwhile, the military’s top generals are on their way to Quantico for a ominous meeting with the president. And can Democrats “win” a government shutdown? Tim and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQyd...

"I'm old enough to remember Democrats relishing Rahm Emanuel...recruiting candidates who were appropriate for different parts of the country and different districts, and the Democrats won a big victory in 2006." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast

I’m sorry, was it the DEMOCRATS who defunded Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give tax breaks to billionaires Nope-that was Trump With votes from MAGA Senators like Roger Marshall Now hundreds of rural hospitals will probably have to close And only the Democrats are trying to stop this

he looks like he's in a monty python sketch he looks like he inspired megan amram's avatar he looks like he is telling riggs he has diplomatic immunity

Tanks and heavy armored vehicles headed to Portland

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

My son Ben left this world far too early on Saturday! His dream was always to travel the world. Please share this candle so it can travel the world for him.🕊️Rest in peace Ben.💔 I will not be online for the time being. Thank you for your understanding.💔

Dictators don't get voted out, they get forced out. When will Republicans realize Trump will destroy their lives too?

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Bad Bunny? I am so old....never heard of him. Well maybe once.

So Trump, Johnson, and JD are endlessly repeating the lie that Dems want to shut down the government to get healthcare for "illegals." So why are Dem leaders not on every TV and social media platform debunking this?

Trump's America is stupidity, racism, discrimination, hate, violence, domestic terrorism, lies, conspiracies, fascist, illegal, incompetent, irresponsible, cruel, destructive, and reckless. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

24k gold...LOL!! liar liar pants on fire psychopath.

Can't we just get healthcare

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Hmmm....perhaps to avenge kirks death since it was a murderous attack on Mormons? Speculation I know but the American flags in truck bed are a distinct hint to me. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.
