Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

Completely unacceptable, but completely on brand.

👀👀👀👀

Coincidentally, Operation Rough Rider is also Jesse Watters grindr handle

It’s incredible how easily these people just… lie. For no reason. Then when they get caught lying, they’re like well obviously tariffs were going to raise prices.

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.

Many people are saying Trump gave some dude named Bubba a hummer and there are photos. SAD!

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo.

Huh. Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES. I thought other countries paid for those?

He’s panicking.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

These Epstein emails make at least one thing abundantly clear: The rumors that Trump “kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago and cut ties with him” were bullshit.

The Epstein floodgates are about to open. NYT is now reporting that the White House is trying to convince Republicans not to vote for the discharge petition, most recently meeting with Boebert. They’re also pressuring Mace.

🚨 🚨🚨🚨 Email from Epstein to Maxwell alleges that Trump spent “hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim Release the files.

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

There’s also a zero percent chance the real number is 3 trillion

Boom. Get fucked, bigots.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs! Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium. It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year. So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Contact info for Senators who appear to be caving.(found on Senator Schumer's Bluesky page)

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet. If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator. The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

That’s fair. We can definitely disagree and still be friends! That being said, like I said in the comments: I don’t like this deal. I just don’t think the Democrats are going to get a better one. It’s been 40 days of nothing but “no” from the GOP.

Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get. Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December. Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years! His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years. What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better. Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it. They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

This is a really stupid idea, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Trump: - Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment. - Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon. - Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs. All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.

Remember when Harris said she would go after price gouging companies and everyone yelled about communism? Fun times.

We’re less than a year into his presidency and we’re seeing recession-like layoffs, MTG is calling Trump a liar on CNN, Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro are beefing, and GOP influencer accounts are accusing Trump of gaslighting. Well-oiled machine!

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

It’s tough being the oldest president in history. Low energy! Sad!

Layoffs rise to recession-like levels in October. Best economy in the world. All he had to do was not fuck it up, and he fucked it up. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I’m kind of in burn it all down mode. I hope they nuke the filibuster. Think of all the fun stuff we can pass when we’re the majority again.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July? Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

It’s almost like pretending that Democrats had the worst approval rating in history and simply ignoring this unmitigated dumpster fire was a bad strategy.

It’s early, but this might be my favorite tweet.

The GOP was already freaking out about the impending Trump effect on the midterms. Now they’re fucking terrified.

👀👀👀👀

LET’S FUCKING GO!

Hey look. Communism.

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you. We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

Anytime a politician dies, my first thought is wondering how embarrassing Trump’s tweet about it is going to be.

Continuing the long tradition of not seeing any of the dumb shit Trump says (He saw it. 100%)

“Testing plans for US nuclear weapons won’t include explosions, energy secretary says.” Oh, cool. So the same thing we’ve been doing since… *checks notes* … 1995.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo.

Yeah, we will do one this evening at some point! I meant to post that Friday, my apologies
