The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Epstein Epstein Epstein Not enough votes in Congress to impeach/remove. No will in the Cabinet to invoke the 25th. For the sake of the country, we need to make him as irrelevant as possible. Epstein Epstein Epstein

President Zelenskyy arrived in London for the Coalition of the Willing meeting and met with King Charles. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Is there any line this POS can cross to get Supreme Court to think we gave him too much immunity? He’s blowing up random people in boats, demolished 1/3 of The White House, having goons kidnap Americans off the streets, demanding $230 million from our DOJ, giving $40 Billion to random Countries FFS

They're sending a Navy carrier strike group to the Caribbean. Like, the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, destroyers and several aircraft squadrons. To nominally fight alleged drug traffickers that have so far been in tiny speed boats and subs. x.com/seanparnella...

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

I think you should hold his trials in the new ballroom and then tear it down.

if you've enjoyed 25 years of "unwinnable wars in the desert" get ready for our new feature "unwinnable wars in the jungle"

An anonymous donor gave the Pentagon $130 million? Yeah, totally normal. Like the Tooth Fairy filing 1099s.

The demolished East Wing is a monument to this regime's destruction of our system of checks and balances, and the process of democratic governance. It is a monument of rubble.

The government shutdown feels a bit like a decapitation strike aimed at the entire legislative branch. The administration can’t keep the government shutdown forever, but I could easily see them using the plenary executive theory to circumvent congressional appropriations authority, for example.

The Epstein Recess continues.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

@governor.ca.gov How about a State Law barring troops of any kind from standing within a quarter mile of a polling place?! #NoTrumpTakeover #SatesRights #Democracy

"My son - is he alive?" A Russian KAB struck a residential building in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, leaving the family trapped under debris. Ukrainian Warriors from the Khyzhak and Azov Brigades pulled a woman from the rubble. Unfortunately, her son did not survive.

The Rose Garden is gone. Everyday we see why Michelle Obama was finally proud of her country in 2008 & why many are ashamed in 2025. Everyday the people Hilary Clinton called deplorable do more deplorable things. Everyday something Kamala Harris said would happen, happens. America hates women.

Let's be clear about a few things - he's building/renovating/updating the bunker that sat under the East Wing - the ballroom is a cover story, just like the original East Wing - he lied and continues to lie about this - because he doesn't plan on leaving

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva: “Let’s be clear — Speaker Johnson knows I’ll be the 218th signature to release the Epstein files. His delay isn’t leadership — it’s obstruction, plain and simple. The victims deserve justice, and the truth will come out.”

Mamdani keeps talking about affordable grocery stores and accessible bus lines, but his opponents keep insisting he’s running to transform NYC into Mecca. Pure bigotry, nothing more.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is threatening to arrest top California officials.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting. They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, which used to sit south of the East Colonnade, was torn up as part of the East Wing demolition this week, according to NBC News.

Mass deportation of legal residents is not a hard right policy it’s a far right one. I mean, there’s not even the slightest doubt about that.

Betting RepubliKKKan Congress Won't Call For Jack Smiths Hearing Because They Can't Allow The Truth About Chump's Criminal Exploitations........

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

NBC News reported today that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s rush to get new recruits onto the street has meant they have pushed into their training program more than 200 people who have disqualifying criminal backgrounds, fail drug testing, or don’t meet the academic or physical requirements.

New plaque just dropped for the White House.

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 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.

🚨U.S. inflation rises to 3% in September as prices increase at the fastest rate since January. The White House says they will likely not release October’s inflation data next month, blaming the shutdown.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

It’s on his To Do list.

Keep going, good people. Live long enough to see their tribunals.

Could you imagine the release of the Epstein files and Jack Smith testifying in Congress?

Is EVERYONE EXCITED about the “Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom and Massage Parlor?”

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

Such a coincidence that they tear down the East Wing at the same time that Mike Johnson is keeping Congress out of session, avoiding any accountability for this or for Epstein. Let’s be clear: if he can bulldoze the White House without permission, he’s not a tenant — he’s the owner. He’s a king.

Those who'd sneer at outrage over the White House fancy themselves slick. Ears to the ground. They don't concern themselves with frippery when there's a war to be won. Well they don't know a goddamn thing. Symbols are powerful, and politics is a game of using them to your advantage.

Olha is a professional violinist. But at 22, instead of the stage, she went to the front line. She survived an injury, a coma, lost an eye - and returned to the army. 📹 DW
