9 days into the Republican shutdown, Speaker Johnson still refuses to call us back because he’s afraid the Epstein files will finally be released. Meanwhile, Trump is threatening to invade American cities and jail his political opponents. At least my tiny kiwis are healthy and normal!

My choice for the Nobel Peace Prize this year: Chef José Andrés and the World Central Kitchen.

Maine Governor Janet Mills: "If Donald Trump stops federal funding to Maine, we the people of Maine will take out federal taxes from all paychecks and no taxes will be paid to the federal government." 💪🔥 THIS is how you treat a bully. I love that she is such a badass!! That's my governor!

Best description of Miller I've seen.

The Constitution defines Treason as a) levying war against the United States, and b) giving aid and comfort to our enemies constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic... Y'all, Trump is waging war against the United States. This is Treason.

I would love to see this framed by the corporate media as the government seeking to deny us our 1st amendment rights to peacefully protest the ICE crackdown by calling us violent insurrectionists. Because that's obviously what's happening.

I doubt that this would stick, but would definitely make a point. Peaceful protesters are being called violent insurrectionists by folks like him, so it seems fair to accuse him of incitement for the words he uses to blast judicial rulings he doesn't like.

If only.

I'm a big fan of our Dem. representative, Chellie Pingree!

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

This fascist regime is only in the 10th month of the first year, it is not sustainable for blue states to fund this, they need to send a clear message and weaponize state government against this egregious and excessive federal overreach.

Bet you didn’t know: His Secret Service code name is ‘Cleetus.’

The way this made me laugh! 🤣

They could at least offer us some cake.

No frost in the 15 day extended forecast, so we get to keep enjoying our giant zinnias for a while longer.

Many thanks for this thread. This is all reprehensible, but not at all surprising.

Just remember, "I was just following orders" didn't work to well for them.

Reminds me again. Who's inciting violence?

www.rawstory.com/trump-blue-s... So if they are going to target Blue states, does that make it a good time for the soft secession I've been reading about. Blue states supply the bulk of funding for the nation, so it they are going to be punished during the shutdown, I vote that funds be withheld.

One of the last blossoms of the season for our hibiscus. It certainly has been glorious!

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

www.rawstory.com/medbed-trump/ I wonder what he charges for one of those med beds?? Maybe we could get a better deal if we got them directly from the aliens.

Trump Crime Family!! 👀

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

This!

Oh shit! The Rapture!!! 😳

"a sheep in wolf's diapers " 😂🤣

Unfortunately, this is quite accurate.

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u... The attempt by the WH to blame Democrats after refusing to negotiate with them rings hollow in light of them blaming 2 recent shootings on them with zero evidence.
