Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

We need to normalize thinking about large-scale prosecutions of this admin as inevitable. Cabinet members on down to ICE stormtroopers are going to face justice for their rampage of criminality. And the public needs to know details of what happened. The murders, the bribes and embezzlement.

To prevent corruption, the Constitution prohibits the president and other officials from receiving benefits from outside influences. However, Congress must act to ensure these provisions are enforceable. Our latest report offers recommendations for reform. bit.ly/3XdgCaq

Wow: Trump is pardoning a convicted agent of the Chinese Communist Party

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

We've got you 👍

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

SNL Trump: "It'll be ready just in time for my third term." Melania: "That's right, we want this to be our forever home." Trump: "We're not leaving, we're doing something called COUP."

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

In the Vietnam war, "McNamara's Morons" were large numbers of men either too unqualified or unhinged to be soldiers. Today, the unfit violent thugs are being hired by ICE: Miller's Morons.

Judges might’ve ruled for Trump to fund SNAP but let’s be real he already let people starve once. He shut down USAID, ignored court orders, and watched warehouses of food rot while mothers and kids died waiting for help Congress had already approved. This is a war tactic.

A fun and safe Halloween evening to everyone, especially the kids.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

What the actual f*ck?!!! “Members of Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials.“

It's weird how even today, people think the Nazis were organized or competent simply because they managed to get soldiers marching in synchrony with fancy trim. Instead it was a cancer: A corrupt incompetent shitshow that only "got things done" by draining and ruining the body/country beneath.

Johnson basically says it here

While on a speaking tour in the U.S., Sami Hamdi had his visa revoked and was detained by ICE allegedly because of his pro-Palestine advocacy. This is yet another troubling example of the Trump administration weaponizing the immigration system to punish speech it disagrees with.

New comic: When worlds collide www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

the son of the President of the United States is on TV arguing the SPAC he is launching that invests in companies that do business with the Federal government does not present a conflict of interest we are not in a good place fam

NEW: Trump's DOJ rewrote a federal sentencing memo — erasing all references to the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s social media post that shared Barack Obama’s address. The career prosecutors who wrote the original memo have been suspended. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

"If today's Republican party not Nazi... then why Nazi-salute shaped?" www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...

I've seen some right wingers try to blame Democrats for "not voting on a clean bill for SNAP funding." They're lying: 1. The law ALREADY has funds to cover it, Trump is breaking the law by refusing to use them. 2. Republicans won't allow the House to vote on *anything* right now.

This Reagan quote makes Dear Leader fuhrerious!

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it. Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false. www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-b...

I can’t believe it, but this is true. Nakedly Nazi iconography posted by the Department of Labor.

Congress may as well not exist at this point under this Spineless Speaker. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

They have overplayed their hand. #AMERICA will defeat Trump and his co-conspirators.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

This is amazing!!
