There was a time when our presidents cared about the people.

From scientist Matthew Cappucci: "The NOAA aircraft that was investigating Melissa today had to leave the storm early due to "severe turbulence." Melissa is STILL intensifying. This is extremely rare. The aircraft are BUILT for severe turbulence and extreme conditions. "Melissa is truly a monster.""

How often do you think Pope Leo wears a White Sox jersey under his vestments? Do you think this is written into protocol for when he dies?

No – not "us" – from *you*. You plunder America daily. You gave him $40 Billion while simultaneously selling out American soybean farmers and now American ranchers.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

The feds are obviously worthless atthis point, so I'd love to see a consortium of states step up and regulate this. arstechnica.com/cars/2025/10...

The GOP controls the White House, the Senate, and the House, but Mike Johnson insists they're not in control of the government. The only part of this that surprises me is how many people are dumb enough to believe it.

I’m now afraid of food With this regime and its lax regulations of the food industry, you don’t know what is going to land you in the hospital 🏥 or a cemetary 🪦

My mother, who came to America as an adult, does not comprehend baseball and refuses to try. It all comes down to one question: if the thrower doesn’t want the hitter to hit the ball, why does he throw the ball *right to him*?

Amazing that he somehow thinks this is an IQ test.

HOLY HELL!!! They ran out of colors to show how strong it is 😭 The new 2PM update now has sustained winds of 175 mph and gusts approaching 220 mph. Pressure now down to 906 mb. Catastrophic impacts coming to the Island of Jamaica later tonight. #Melissa

ICE isn't beyond repair. Fixing it pretty simple. Take them off the streets. Limit their role to investigations of illegal imports, such a illegal wildlife trade and stolen merchandise. Leave the streets up to the counties and municipalities.

This is a good illustration of what’s happening tonight re ICE leadership purge. Posts and caption identify this dude as ICE, but his uniform says Border Patrol. A LOT of the most aggro stuff that has been casually attributed to ICE (esp in Chicago and LA, and in Portland in 2020) was actually CBP.

Election Day is still a week-ish away and I've seen a lot of commentary on Mamdani's campaign, but one thing from someone who is not a politico expert that seems to have ignited his campaign is his campaign's receptivity to what others might call criticism.

Paul Ingrassia says he filed a $150 million defamation suit against Politico over he media outlet's report that he has been investigated for allegedly harassing a lower-ranking colleague

The only thing I ever want to see during Open Enrollment is a comparison of how coverage and costs have changed since last year. But of course, amid the piles of confusing paperwork sent out to employees, this is never offered.

Don't watch Maddow tonight if you own a smart phone and ever want to sleep again. All about the spyware ICE is using. And that this Admin is using on all of us. JFC.

For real prayers for Jamaica

Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers. Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom. Gee, I wonder why?

Biden deserves this, and his speech was powerful. "In over 50 years of public life, this is one of the worst I've seen. Our very democracy is at stake in my view. It's no time to give up. It's time to get up. Get up now!" www.cbsnews.com/news/boston-...

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

The Trump admin knows they can legally extend SNAP benefits, and even that they may be legally required to, but of course they think they're above the law, and would prefer to let people starve while they blame Democrats. www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

-Rand Paul tells the truth abt US murdering ppl in boats -Markwayne Mullin tells the truth abt tariffs hurting Americans -Thomas Massie tells the truth abt Trump covering for pedophiles -Marge Greene tells the truth abt Obamacare cuts hurting GOP voters. Horsemen, party of 4.

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working. I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Every once in a while I think about the time I was trying to tell three male coworkers about a study that had shown that men think their female coworkers talk more & interrupt more, even though, in fact, men talk & interrupt more, but I could never finish telling them, b/c they kept interrupting me.

I wasn't actually sure this was real.

The voting machines weren't hacked and the vote counts weren't fabricated in 2024 for all the same reasons it didn't happen in 2020, either. Most charitably, those pushing that stuff are gullible and ill-informed. There's a real constitutional omni-crisis going on without making stuff up.
