If that misfit wants to be a social butterfly, let him do it on his own time with his own money. Guess who he thinks is going to pay for these lavish parties in that 'grand' ballroom? What a pitifully absurd clown who can't even get the basics right.

These guys are just living out their sick violent fantasies. There's no need for such violence.

Eventually, Maga Moses Mike is gonna have to come out of hiding. How many vacay days do they get, anyway?

Hegseth is probably fine with this since he thinks too many military members are overweight. (I know there used to be a weight limit requirement and some members had to weigh in if they were close. A friend of mine finally gave up & resigned a desk job.) They do not support the troops.

Selective investigations.

“Since Trump took office in January 2025, a website called Project2025Tracker.org has been keeping an eye on how his administration is working to fulfill 318 objectives laid out in the far-right blueprint … So far, the website estimates the project is 48% complete …”

When the head honcho pardons one of the world's most notorious drug traffickers, it's simply not credible that he's that concerned about drug trafficking. What I want to know is *why* is he really doing this? What's motivating this illegal activity?

Republicans *might* have a tiny bit more credibility in their supposed concern for the impact on society if they were as vocal about these pervs connected to 'churches' as they are about trans people.

That red brick building is Funston Elementary. They are gassing kids in their classrooms

Please take a minute out of your day to call @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and urge him to sign a critical piece of pro-housing, pro-transit, pro-climate legislation.

America First* * right after Qatar, Argentina, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, wherever the next Trump golf course will be…

Now's a good time for Gov Pritzker to make good on his promise.

I just chipped in a little to help Fred Wellman defeat a republican congressperson. I know he'll work hard for the people, guided by a far better moral compass. Besides, I'd LOVE to show republicans how gerrymandering won't be enough to hold on to power.

States are going to have to step up and help one another for the duration of this ridiculous regime. The sooner it's over, the better.

omg Republicans will not win in this game.

We have had enough of this shit.

200 journalists!!! We can't ask them to be fearless if we don't have their backs when they are! This is unacceptable and their US colleagues had better start talking about it more on their cushy studio gigs.

They clearly don't expect any support from the US. What a shame and an embarrassment. smh

welp

One more time.Vought has always planned to slash the executive branch. It's in Project 2025. The shut down is irrelevant to that plan. They believe they have the constitutional power to do this *no matter what.* The media is buying into Trump's BS that Dems gave them the "opportunity."

This is some of the best messaging I’ve seen so far from the Democratic Party. Please forward far and wide. @indivisible.org @indivisiblenoco.com @indivisible-co.bsky.social NOCO #copolitics @hcrichardson.bsky.social Hold the line - @hickenlooper.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov

They are clearly trying to hide what they're doing from the general public. They are sending a journalist to an unacceptable risk situation for having the courage to cover protests of ICE actions. Even as they lie in their public statements, the coverage would show the truth. This is SO wrong.

I'm not a famous person, so I won't be given an interview on any form of mass media but I want to at least go on record saying I am as against this violence and antisemitism as I am against Israel's genocide of Palestinians. 1/2

I don't know what Pritzker is planning, but if he doesn't take legal action, there s/b a class action lawsuit. That often gets some media attention as it should.

They've taken the wrecking ball approach from the beginning of his term. Let's not sugarcoat this.

As most of us know, Chicago does not need to be saved. It sucks that no one in media presses him on that simple fact.

I wonder who’s in this movie…

Israel has intercepted dozens of boats carrying humanitarian aid towards Gaza. Mere condemnations are "not good enough anymore,” says Saif Abukeshek, a Palestinian activist based in Barcelona, who demands concrete action in solidarity with those on the Global Sumud Flotilla.

He's clueless despite the lies about his being smart about business and economy. He's a one trick pony with these tariffs so he just leans on that one stupid, wrong-headed tactic. All it does is raise taxes on all of us and screw up trade and hit all the other negative impacts on the economy.

Student journalist Lucas Griffith faces trial today for covering a protest against the deportation of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Lucas did nothing wrong. This is a big deal and would be national news in normal times.

Another big month for state supreme court oral arguments. Is there a constitutional right to record law enforcement? Can Texas seek information about PFLAG's membership? Can Michigan deny workers comp to undocumented immigrants? And much more... statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

I haven't seen him this animated in a while.

They're clowns, but they aren't funny. Just sad and stupid. I'm not sure how we'll survive this regime.

Tech workers in the most corporate, nerdy, non-union, Northface-wearing-ass environment you can imagine have been putting their jobs, safety, and even immigration status on the line to try to stop a genocide, writes @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Ooooo-Weeeee, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social’s new book, Separation of Church and Hate, is a master class in setting the record straight about the religious right/Christian Nationalists being little more than an empty moniker and anti pretty much every one of the teachings of Jesus. Highly recommend. 📖

This isn't an 'ethics' issue - it's grounds for removal from office. He's looney tunes and not fit for purpose. In the midst of all the discussion re: political violence, it's particularly irresponsible and might possibly be intentional. Is it?

Considering what he's done in the wide open, it's deeply troubling to wonder wtf he's so paranoid about hiding.

SCOOP: NPR actually reported the SBA email first! 👀 And we've got an extensive list of agency emails/responses from yesterday and today, thanks to tips from federal workers sharing shutdown plans and messaging. You can keep sending those tips on Signal: stphnfwlr.25 www.npr.org/2025/09/30/n...

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context.

Government by a petty tyrant with severe personality disorders. iow, a whack job potus.

I don't know how she does it, but I'm glad Jessica Tarlov gives Fox viewers another POV.
