Hello from the Squirrel of the Day for November 11, 2025 #sqrlpix

15 year car loans and 50 year home loans. Now all we need is some modification to debt laws and we're back to back to feudal peasant debt bondage.

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.

Remember six days ago when we were all pretty jazzed about Democrats again? Good times.

freya is ready for a vacation, she's been burning the candle at both ends

This is the Surrender Caucus:

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton once said hello to the Attorney General at an airport.

Monday

Consider that Tuesday's elections showed that dems could win *despite* dem leadership, despite Schumer relentlessly ratfucking them even up to the very last minute. Millions of people volunteered, and saw for themselves how totally fucking useless dem leaders were compared to themselves.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems. My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Zohran so scary! 🫣

Sure. Alabama. An academic powerhouse. This regime is nothing but a constant barrage of lies, propaganda, gaslighting, misinformation and deception.

ICE agent in Chicago draws and trains a firearm on protestors armed with iPhones. Trump's America in 2025.

No thoughts, just dog

Reposting this and also reminding people to donate to your local pet food pantries. Pets will not be fed when people are struggling to feed their children.

post a non-religious image you think of as holy

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Yeah, there's no way you could ever find any Christians who were involved with the pharmaceutical industry, or the spread of feminism, or the rise of pornography, or any of the other antisemitic conspiracies she's pushing here. Nope, Jews Are To Blame For Everything I Don't Like™

Damn. I missed Josh Shapiro tearing JD Vance a new one yesterday

This is the longest government shutdown in US history. The second longest was also under Trump. Republicans cannot govern.

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won? People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

Two of my fav things!

ICE is retaliating against Oak Park right now, where most of the moms who were arrested for protesting at Broadview yesterday are from. This is my sister, who's on the ground. ABOLISH ICE. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzuhMO...

let's just pause and think about the fact that a trillion is a thousand billion, or a million million. he could have given each of the 400,000 kids he starved to death a million dollars and he'd still have 400 billion dollars left from this pay package the shareholders just approved.

make him serve it at Mar-A-Lago and see how it goes

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Good morning

I legit can’t figure out the play on these FAA flight cancellations. Who’s the White House trying to pressure. And who do they think people are gonna get mad at when Thanksgiving goes down the drain?

The replies are brilliant.

PUPPY CART ALERT

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits. Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

Kinda similar energy

This 🧵is 💯!

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Are these low prices in the room with us?

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

Commie.

Can we please give a medal to sandwich guy Sean Dunn's legal team? Here's how they opened their case: “He did it. He threw the sandwich.” And the U.S. government “turned that moment, a thrown sandwich, into a criminal case. A federal criminal case charging a federal criminal offense.”

this is key context for the arrests all over the country: your government is using your tax dollars staging a raid to make propaganda at risk of everyone I the line of fire, and that's everyone

SANDWICH GUY AVOIDS TOASTER

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

So i was getting some backup for our thanksgiving trip and holy crap guys If you’re going to buy tickets on Amtrak Do it now I watched as trains sold out

Let it unleash a thousand memes. I call this one: "Donald Trump stands idly by while the American economy passes out in a corner."

When you absolutely hate someone else grabbing the spotlight for a minute
