They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

you know what fair

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released. DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

Basically, the situation is that smart Americans rigged the entire world to prevent dumb Americans from tasting the fruits of their own incompetence, but didn’t count on the masses voting to eat the turd apple.

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

the problem with 3) is that it's actually kind of hard for the GOP to cave. unless the GOP is just giving ACA subsidies away for a CR, you need to fully negotiate a bipartisan yearlong appropriations bill that can pass both houses, you have to do so fairly quickly, and right now there's nothing.

I think Dems can and should do better than people who are abusive to their staff members

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Or swear in a new member of Congress who was elected two weeks ago

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

thank you brett kavanaugh!

Marco Rubio is going to hell.

DEI for me, not for thee.

I think if it took you to October 5th, 2025 to realize that maybe this 1/6/21 business was maybe a big deal I think you shouldn't be allowed to comment on politics

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

It's almost as if the Democrats who decided to laser-focus on health care messaging going into the fight were in fact right.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

We (Democrats, reporters, society in general) should and should be able to make this into a big story.

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Lol I didn’t realize Johnson had already gone on record with this fucking disastrous bullshit. What in the world are they actually even thinking? It’s mind boggling.

Zach Bryan wrote an anti ICE song. officially declaring Woke 2 in full effect.

whats the point in "dealing" with the Trump administration when this is the person executing the deal, and is openly promising to violate the laws and break any agreeement? If you want to bargain for something in the shutdown fight, make firing Vought a condition of any funding package.

Oh so they're trying to lose Virginia by, like, Assad numbers, huh?

Drugs are not weapons of war. They are drugs. The president’s word on who is or is not a drug dealer is not trustworthy. He and his administration have been caught lying about that multiple times. Even if blowing up random boats were legal under the laws of armed combat, it’d be stupid strategy.

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023. www.connexionfrance.com/news/double-...

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Desperately need a law that says something like running a federal agency is a full time job and not something you can do in your spare time from another full time job.

The average and median weekly or annual hours worked per worker in the US has decreased over this same time period.

Quick thoughts: *These are two huge and complex organizations. They are not part-time gigs. They deserve full-time leaders. *You now have a single person in charge of the two largest sources of personal data in the government. *7 IRS leaders in less than 9 months.

Harris’s weren’t cringe. She was considered to have great meme game when the campaign started. But she’s a lady dem, so that had to get rewritten, and was by the end of the campaign.

Okay, look, I gotta ask because I feel like I’m having a stroke. Did we switch teams on the democracy versus economics messaging? Because the way I remember it, the libs ran on democracy and the left said they should focus on material issues like healthcare instead and now it’s opposite, I think?

About 60% of political punditry is some in like the top 15% of political interest saying “if only there were messages and candidates that appealed to people like me, we would never lose”
