“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

UPDATE: This ad just ran again during the World Series 🇨🇦 You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAKE. Reagan said it. Trump is lying.

The Doug Ford ad using Reagan’s words to make the case against Trump’s tariffs just aired AGAIN during the World Series.

It’s easy to gloss over the details in his daily madness. He basically admits he is using tariffs to be petty and vindictive. Nothing to do with the economy. Not a care for those it hurts on both sides of the border. Let’s see who in Congress calls him out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

Meiselas: Scott Perry says that Democrats join the military just so they can run for office — and that Democrats hate the military. Deluzio: Just an unbelievable load of bullshit. I’d dare him to go say that in front of the Democrats in his district who are veterans — there are thousands of them.

That's the authoritarian dream

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

The leader of the "Law and Order" party is a walking crime spree, and his party is either too terrified to do anything about it, or all in on the criming.

Arizona sued House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) for refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D), arguing that the delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation for purely partisan gain.

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

1. Here are some facts about the guy, Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million so Trump could pay the troops during the government shutdown. 🧵

Same judge considering Comey’s motion to dismiss on the ground that Halligan was illegally appointed. Judge Currie - a Clinton appointee - will consider whether to consolidate the James and Comey motions.

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.   Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself. Americans will not forget.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

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?...

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters — only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days. If they expect us to eventually give up and back down, they are sorely mistaken. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...

This is insane

FLAG: The Trump admin says the Justice Department will monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey ahead of the Nov. 4 election, following requests by Republican officials in those states. Democrats call the move an obvious attempt at voter suppression.

Trump’s drug wars: In 9 months, he’s threatened to attack Mexico and annex Canada. He started a tariff battle with China over fentanyl, bombed Colombian fishermen and is now gearing up to strike Venezuela. There is no end game. He’s just a bully. With an army. Looking for someone to push around.

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?

big tough guys deploying tear gas to protect us from inflatable dinosaur Halloween decorations

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown. This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

The Trump administration has just agreed to buy thousands of drone parts from Donald Trump Jr.’s new drone company.

Love him or hate him, he understands the way the game is played now and he's playing it better than anyone else. Call ‘em out Newsom!!

Hands off NYC : Thousands of demonstrators have gathered outside the Trump Tower!

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

He does not care if the American people starve. He doesn’t care if we die. We are nothing to him.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions. Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions. Food prices are rising. The government has been shut down for 25 days. What is Trump focused on? Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

Trump just turned the Caribbean into his personal war zone missile strikes, dozens dead, and an aircraft carrier on patrol. This is a war crime and it’s flying a MAGA flag. #TrumpWar #CaribbeanCrisis #USDemocracy #Pinks

"The president’s statement announcing the relief funding emphasized the number of times he won Missouri’s electoral votes, as if there were some kind of connection between his political support in the state and his eagerness to provide disaster aid..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

Trump brags about being the Speaker of the house and the President in closed door meetings. Whatever Trump says Johnson does no matter how wrong or how much it makes him look like a concubine. Johnson has no morals. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

Timothy Mellon is the donor of the $130 million for the troops. In case you’re wondering what he’s like, he said in his autobiography that Black people have become “even more belligerent” because of social programs, and people who receive government assistance are slaves.

Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification. Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

@joanhussey1.bsky.social is running for Mayor of Bloomfield to: 🎯Revitalize business districts 🎯Bring fresh voices into our government 🎯Make the town affordable & prosperous 5C on your ballot - #VoteNJ Local elections matter!

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder... “I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

The NYT reports the mystery donor who gave $130M to pay troops during the shutdown is reclusive billionaire Timothy Mellon of Wyoming. Also… www.9news.com/article/news...

Donald Trump is using DOJ to prosecute his enemies. DOJ is trampling on civil rights and defending the deployment of military in our cities. Yet, too many well meaning people continue to give federal prosecutors and DOJ lawyers the benefit of the doubt. STOP. Watch and share. youtu.be/yZR90S5DUKE
