Pod Save White Trash

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

A third of those applying to be ICE stormtroopers have been disqualified because they can’t do 15 push-ups. Lol

I’m growing more and more worried y’all don’t understand the gravity of the moment.

He’s going to move to Florida so his future child can catch measles and whooping cough in peace.

The Spanish soccer league said Tuesday that plans for Barcelona to play a game against Villarreal outside Miami in December have been called off, following increased opposition to the match. n.pr/43xc4zf

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...

Trump is extorting his own Justice Department for $230 million in taxpayer funds. He refuses to open the government or lower health care costs — but he's eager to steal YOUR money to enrich himself. Unprecedented, unfathomable corruption.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Millions of Americans are about to lose subsidies for healthcare. The government is shut down and federal workers aren’t being paid. Groceries and rent are at an all time high and this fat MF is demanding $230M from the DOJ for past cases against him?! Of my tax payer money?! Chile….

If I were Adelita Grijalva, I’d follow Mike Johnson around the Capitol with a bible asking to be sworn in.

look. if your organization jumped the gun and endorsed a dude this week because you wanted to stomp on the announcement of another candidate, only to find out a few days later that had you vetted him, you would've found a lot of racism and a nazi tattoo, it's ok if you say you made a mistake.

I feel like I’m screaming into the void every single day. How the f*ck did we get here?!?

Rubio going full mobster and offering to sell out informants to get a deal for Trump should be a bigger story than it is.

He bulldozed the White House. During a shutdown. To build a ballroom.

Ten million protest in the streets against Trump but ZERO rally for Trump. Please tell us again how Trump legitimately won all 7 battleground states!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Imagine that: an MSP trooper had racist text in his phone that were subject to discovery in his suit to be reinstated. Who'd've thunk it! www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

It’s so fucked up. substack.com/@logicallyjc...

I spent $400 on groceries yesterday and that was just a week’s worth of groceries and some household supplies. Publix has truly lost their mind with their prices. They’re a monopoly in Florida and it sucks. There’s no comparable alternative.

He really thought he had something here.

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.” By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Boston. Wow.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Actor Michael Keaton on Trump supporters: “When Trump said ‘I could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he’s saying is these people are so stupid, they’d still vote for me. They have no respect for you”

Damn! Every clip from last night’s debate is Mamdani wiping the floor with Cuomo.

Promises made. Promises kept.

"Adding to the train wreck, Halligan’s appointment as US attorney may not even be legal, meaning that the indictment is a legal nullity … which may actually be the least embarrassing outcome here for the Justice Department." — @lizdye.bsky.social

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better. www.rawstory.com/dr-phil-trum...

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

The US is going to host a Qatari air base in Idaho which is somehow fine but Mexican immigrants are somehow not

This is exactly what we need. This is it. "New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

it’s all just a grift

If a candidate tells you what would happen if the other nominee is elected - and it happens just like she said - by definition you cannot say she ran a bad campaign. She ran on the truth. And folks should ask themselves why the truth was not enough for them. - From the years 2016 and 2024

Good lord. @apnews.com

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
