Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

🙄

Things like this keep happening.

ICE in Portland: “Dear God, they’re Jazzercising in formation! Light ‘em up!”

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…

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Which charity will he give our money to? The Help a Billionaire Foundation?

Reminder that we have a rogue president who disregards his oath of office, is an enemy of the Constitution, orders the murder of foreign nationals, and has partially demolished the White House.

NEW: Trump is going to steal $230M in taxpayer dollars by having his DOJ pay him a settlement for his legal trouble. Watch. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Has he heard about the destruction of OUR White House? He never seems to know hear or see anything. How can he possibly be considered a leader? #MickeytheDunce

Donald Trump is tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build a $250M ballroom for his rich friends

It’s so fucked up. substack.com/@logicallyjc...

"Dumps brown liquid."

If you couldn't catch it live, you can watch it here at your leisure. The government is screwing with evidence. www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

This president has made it clear what he thinks of us. We are human scum. He would literally dump excrement on our heads if he could. Let’s be real: his video was a threat against the physical safety of every one of us. The worst may not happen. Stay optimistic but be cautious out there. Peace.

Did anyone really believe Trump had switched sides to Ukraine? Me neither - the Kremlin stooge is just stalling….again

This is quite a hed/subhed. 1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex. 2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands 3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

Most of us who have watched Trump's political career see it. People who have worked directly with him see it. Now even heads of other countries see it. It's high time for America's "free" press to acknowledge it: Trump is a Russian asset. #ProudBlue

New NYT euphemism just dropped

More and more is becoming known about the talks in #Washington. A slap in the face and #humiliation is what awaited the Ukrainians after being lured with #Tomahawks. This is strategy; trying to break the spirit of #Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting against the #Russians, supported by #China and the US.

I ❤️ my hometown. Well done…

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

Every now and then I still just sit back in amazement that so many folks practically worship one of the weirdest people to ever live.

I’ve said before this could the the thing that brings Trump down. There must be an investigation to learn if this is true. And what were the circumstances of this bombing? What info did the U.S. have? Who gave the order to go ahead? Was it Trump himself?

Awesome!

All those former Pentagon reporters should cover No Kings today 🚫👑

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Lots of nussy signs today. I love you, America 😂😂

Exactly the right message.

Amid reports that there were some survivors of the most recent U.S. boat bombing, I ask: would it be acceptable for Marines to pull up and shoot those survivors down in the water? What’s the logical difference between that and what we’ve been doing? Trump has crossed the line into murder.

Truly amazing and distressing how far down the road to authoritarianism we’ve come in a short time and how easily folks adapt to the new reality. Even those of us who oppose it. Reading about this in history books is one thing; living it is quite another.

This sounds familiar.

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

President Trump's tariffs will cost businesses more than $1.2 trillion this year, with most of that cost being passed on to customers, according to a new study from S&P Global.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

OMG! Clearly, a message from radical anarchists who want violence because they hate America!!! (Republicans are shameless liars addicted to fictional talking points.)

If we played this for people ten years ago, they would have thought it’s parody. youtu.be/sJkuO2ocr1g

Ireland is taking its cue from Australia by banning Candace Owens for eternity. “We haven’t had snakes here in thousands of years - why invite one in.”

“The actions taken by some of those federal agents clearly violated the Constitution,” the judge said... “Individuals are allowed to protest. They are allowed to speak... it is a bedrock right that upholds our democracy.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/16/j...

“More than 20 citizens have reported being held for over a day without being able to call their loved ones or a lawyer. In some cases their families couldn’t find them.” #KavanaughStops

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Raskin: "There's a regime of fear that has come down on the Republican Party. They've looked at what happened to Liz Cheney, to Adam Kinzinger, to Mitt Romney, to others who have taken on the president. They insist on absolute 100% loyalty above everything else."

🧑‍🌾 SOYBEAN FARMERS: “MAGA now stands for ‘Make Argentina Great Again’ — a bailout is like putting a band-aid on a bullet hole.” Trump’s Tariffs are ☠️ them. Are you guys listening? @rustygrills @RepChrisTodd @RepFaison @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @GovBillLee

Kinsley gaffe at the end there, my weasel.

Friends, narrative is important (otherwise, propaganda wouldn't throw billions at it). Please, always frame Georgia as a Russian takeover and an important front-line of our common European fight for freedom and peace. Also, call the Georgian Dream a regime, not a government.
