1930s Germany - “I was just following orders” 2020s USA - “I didn’t see it”.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

He knows it. He keeps it alive. The wreckage of the country does not matter.

Mike Johnson in denial….

Very good news for Ukraine--and very bad news for Putin. It means Ukraine will have the means to fight the war indefinitely even without any US support. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

@danpasternack.bsky.social Thank you for doing these shows for “I Like Me” I attended something similar with Cary Elwes discussing “The Princess Bride” before a showing. Any thought to recording any of the sessions and making them accessible to people who don’t live where showings are?

We are the laughing stock of the world. Only maga live in the alternate reality.

“.. ‘You didn’t congratulate us on the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan,” Rama told Macron, leading Aliyev to burst out laughing.” 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Reuters travelled to northern Cameroon - where the U.S. had played a leading role in the malaria response for nearly a decade - to document how Trump's sudden cuts are contributing to delayed malaria diagnoses, inadequate treatment and a growing number of deaths. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Sometimes the word “deplorable” is too tame.

“The surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this year…” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Trump is making malaria great again:

I don’t think many realize how prescient and relevant the movie 9 to 5 was, and is. Though blanketed in comedy, the real story of what women had to experience and suffer through in the workplace was overlooked. Mind you, it came out just a few years after women were finally given financial autonomy

In July, solar alone provided 96% of new capacity in the United States. @sundayofaction.bsky.social

The lawyer best known for defending Harvey Weinstein argued it was actually “refreshing” to know Trump’s son-in-law was openly raking it in, while also shaping U.S. policy.

lol fuck kid rock 😆

Trump Tells Military to Use American Cities As "Training Grounds" youtu.be/GR0ObvcZqEQ?...

Once again, Democrats should say they will pursue charges against any corrupt Trump official.

"Lutnick, in a notable break with the DOJ, claimed late pedophile Epstein was 'the greatest blackmailer ever' — and may have traded the feds video of his rich and well-connected associates getting massages from young women in exchange for a controversial 2008 plea deal."

Donald Trump and his MAGA puppets, like my opponent Ryan Mackenzie, lie about healthcare for undocumented immigrants because they would rather not tell the truth about healthcare for American citizens.

Our democracy is badly broken when a president can illegally suspend projects for Blue states in order to punish his political enemies. They continue to break the law, and expect us to go along. Hell no.

Racist.

The math isn’t mathing.

And the Trump administration is using the shutdown as yet another pretext to illegally fire civil servants—something they’ve prioritized since day one.

New Social Security applications could be delayed. The CDC will be limited in providing public health information. Federal workers will not be paid. SNAP funding could run out by the end of the month.

During a government shutdown, the FDA will not be able to ensure that meat, milk and eggs are safe for the public to eat. The NIH will not be able to provide new research grants. Air traffic safety oversight will be limited.

I'm reminded of a lesson I was taught in Corporals Course of the difference between leadership and command. Hegseth is not a leader. He does not inspire others. He is in command. He demands respect because he can't earn it. He is the human equivalent of a blue sticker on a windshield.

Right in time for Yom Kippur to begin tonight.

❌ LOSS: A South Carolina court denied a voter's request to temporarily block the state from sharing voter data with the Justice Department, ruling that the state's "right to privacy" does not cover data sharing between state and federal authorities for election security.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than release the Epstein files

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

God rest her soul🙏🏻

*Not *that* pedophile!

landlords in the most overpriced cities in the world crying and puking bc they have to hire actual licensed professionals and not fuck around real stupid with shit that will blow up their building if they do it wrong

my coworker at my last job said one time that he didn't support rent control bc then landlords wouldn't be able to use that money for fixes and improvements and I said "they're not doing that anyway"

What if deepfakes were entertainment? Not of celebrities and public figures. Deepfakes of you. That’s the chilling, central question at the heart of OpenAI’s new Sora app. www.wired.com/story/openai...

BREAKING The Trump admin is using the government shutdown to try to pause Kilmar Abrego Garcia's habeas corpus case, which has a hearing scheduled next week. Abrego's lawyers oppose. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Priorities.

Wait, what? www.c-span.org/clip/senate-...

His Magasty thought he'd get a maga rally with 4 star generals. Instead he got a funeral.

Ok people this is true Found the cspan video and clipped it. Ted Cruz indeed wants to protect pedophiles. www.c-span.org/clip/senate-...

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

A whopping 38% of Russia’s refining capacity is now offline, according to The Economist. Gasoline output fell by 1 million tons in September which has created a 20% domestic shortfall. Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.

Does the Trump team provide knee pads for all these organizations bending the knee to our tyrant? What the ADL is doing is a shanda.

People support Democrats because they know Dems are protecting Affordable Health Care subsidies They know #GOPLiesAboutEverything Trump & GOP do not care but only want bigger tax breaks for the rich 1- youtube.com/shorts/tgCRY... 2- www.rawstory.com/government-s... #GOPShutdown #TrumpShutdown

Man is really on the good shit. He woke up and was like “these tunnels are unconstitutional under the 14th amendment because they’re black”

@jodyhamilton.bsky.social @bellagerencser.bsky.social The F-47 Bob mentioned reminds me of the Southpark episode where he has sex with Satan & Fox personalities are fawning over him and saying he’s “Fucking Satan” as if Fucking is a verb instead of an adjective but we all know it means he is Satan
