IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

Their outrage always seems to skip the actual predators.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight. That is not a foundation of our democracy.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

🤦🏻‍♀️

Kash was begging for a Community Note

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."

It's not very hard. The people ripping you off are the billionaires who are forcing you to pay them far too much for Energy, Food, Housing, 'Public' Transport...

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

ALL of this...

Jeffries: "Why don't Republicans want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Is it the Epstein files?"

The image below being used by Oregon Republicans to show Portland 'burning to the ground' is actually from South America. If there is no crisis, MANUFACTURE ONE. That's the Republican plan. They've been lying for years and years. You can NEVER trust them, so don't!

Good question from CNN. Maybe Jake Tapper could look into the memory issues more here.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland. That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead. This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her. Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

"everybody has a smartphone these days lol" false. that's something you made up. only 91% of Americans have smartphones. those last 9% are still people who deserve services (and probably need them more than anybody else). that's still like 30.6 million people

Something to keep an eye on: The official White House page has turned into a propaganda machine and has made a hit list on political Dems. Likely leading to more victims like Judge Goldstien, Melissa Hortman and their families. And of course no denouncing of the violence from Repub. Administration..

Such a bastard.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Abbott will not listen to any democratic governor. He is the one who sent busses of migrants like other MAGA states!

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

If Republicans are truly so concerned about healthcare, then why are millions of Americans still unable to afford basic treatment? Despite all the 'hard work, why are medicines and hospitals still out of reach for ordinary people? Maybe their priority isn’t the public it’s the insurance companies.

NHS increased use of the private sector under Labour govt. Private sector delivered 22.1% of ophthalmic, 20.5% of orthopaedic procedures. Numbers of NHS patients treated by private sector up by 10%. With profit margins of up to 40% money buys less. More efficient to expand NHS capacity.

Labour MPs who voted against welfare cuts concerned over the govt plans to change the assessment for universal credit disability benefits. Could trigger another mass rebellion. Why no focus on corporate welfare - bailouts, £895bn QE, subsidies, tax abuses, no end to profiteering.

AMERICA HAS A DRUG ISSUE LET'S START WITH THESE 4

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way. Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

“Trump is lying. Speaker Johnson is lying. Full stop.” Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Trump & Johnson claiming Dems are pushing for health coverage for undocumented immigrants.

Trump take electricity

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Congresswoman who is likely Epstein Files swing vote. go.bsky.app/15p2j48

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Trump is running everything into the ground while grifting billions for himself and his family.
