CBS got it wrong. This isn’t a government shutdown. This is Trump’s government shakedown. #GovernmentShakedown

It’s understandable…what with the ballrooms luxury jet, Argentina, erroneous prosecutions that need compensation who has the money to feed American families? Sometimes it’s important for people to bootstrap. Maybe at the bootstraps. Take that third job on weekends. After all, this is America.

I’ve heard Argentine beef is more flavorful and delicious without have all the growth hormones and other chemicals…so maybe there is a silver lining!

Sad but necessary…GOP runs this shit show, House, Senate, White House, DOJ and SCOTUS. FAFO votes have consequences Maybe a billionaire will buy you breakfast while they eat your lunch

In fairness, kids LOVE ballrooms.

Would love to see a Tax Moratorium in Blue states. Since they’re not being helped—and instead invaded by paramilitary ICE Agents—let the Federal Government Eat OUR Cake.

Yep, Project 2025 is extremely effective. In a few more weeks the Log Cabin Republicans will join with similar media coverage, I’m guessing.

This needs to be done on a New York minute, but Epstein…what’s the rush, where’s the fire? “Trump threatens Canada with 10% extra import tax for not pulling down anti-tariffs ad sooner”

Contaminated medicines are actually a big deal, that and fillers that can inhibit uptake or be of inferior quality. Who’s tracking drug counterfeits? #MAGAWinning

Democrats should consider allowing GOP to raise premiums. Let Americans fully and accurately feel what making America great means to non-billionaires. Then pivot and push for Universal Healthcare and take the profit out of sickness. Just an idea of being “useful” in instead of just outraged.

So then cattle ranchers are beefing with Trump? FAFO?

Theft is theft, right? Yes, it is. Unless we are talking about an employer stealing wages. Then it's "ok for a price" and in reality that price is... nothing. Ah, and the Labour Party tried to add a tribunal fee. Of course for workers to pay. System working as intended.

We’re going into the fourth week of a government shutdown, and after a month of grinding to a halt the White House is getting a $300 million renovation nobody wanted, $40 billion to Argentina, SNAP gone gerrymandering out the ass and Trump sycophantic praise. Pathetic. CAKE FOR EVERYONE!

I wonder how many listening devices are going to be planted in the East Wing of the White House by the end of this debacle

This is virtual PARDONING PAYOFF BONANZA!! This could be bigger than crypto! Bigger than BIBLES or Libel lawsuits. Huge. Bigly.

A King’s gonna do whatever a King wants to do…and if he needs to disappear you, well that’s just the ICE on top.

Now THIS is a great idea…a ‘mega strike’ what fantastic fun in America! Take the power back, hear the histrionics and lamentations of GOP/MAGA. “New Zealand ‘mega strike’: 100,000 public sector workers demand better conditions”

Plus Russian sympathizers…maybe the random operative or two in the WH…

"Trump said. "Theirs is death because they're going to lose Medicaid, they're going to lose Social Security, they're going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you're not going to have any kind of medical insurance." Classic

Compared to what we’re spending on National Guard, DHS planes, or Argentina…not to mention what we’re *saving* on SNAP? Is $230 million dollars that much to ask? (Also, the dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to. Maybe question should be “is $250 million enough?”)

A great deal for corporations that get employees for cheap by offering mediocre health care coverage, and increased share holder value and big bonuses for the C-suite. Workers have weakened unions Project 2025. What do Americans think about rising health care costs, according to new AP-NORC poll?

Not only the man in the White House—the GOP and a fair number of Dems as well proved untrustworthy. Yet, maybe the betrayal will make the world a better place in the long run?

Not enough to feed America’s children, but plenty for Argentina’s sideburns…huh.

Photos show ‘No Kings’ rallies Loving America, ergo against Trump, across the US and in Europe

Lameness killed the video star

Santos already worked into the latest Borowitz Report…

Keeps getting funnier …not now but in a few decades? Hilarious

He gives up titles, but is still a prince… “He will remain a prince - but will cease to be the Duke of York, a title received from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth”

Lists are important

Sooo then, about this Kirk dude…

Facts!!

So Bolton hung out at Mar-A-Lago too, huh

Inflation *IS* over…what it was under Biden. Higher prices across the board to pay for this lovely new police state we’re making. #ThanksGOP

Seceding is making more sense... “The Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared ready to gut a key tool of the Voting Rights Act that helped root out racial discrimination in voting for more than a 50 years, a change that would boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly across the South.”

Argentina: $20 Billion Rural America: 0 That’s classic GOP

Yikes…that’s a lot of teens and tweens. Allegedly.

Prescription drug coverage options are shrinking for Medicare shoppers

Remember Free and Fair Elections? Will Americans sit idle?

Every nonwhite woman is in his head every day As much as any man who has lived since the 1800s, this one cannot deal with strong women and *particularly* cannot deal with strong women of color existing in public let alone challenging him

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Canada have "come a long way” in the trade talks, with a trading relationship worth $900 billion on the line.

Here in Canada, we have Universal Healthcare, Dental care, Pharma care, subsidized child care. And, as an old lady I can survive quite well on my Old Age Pension. Democratic Socialism works. That's the very least you deserve. For profit Healthcare is a crime against Humanity

MAGA okay with this? Seems a bit suss…

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Huh. How long is this crap going to be allowed to continue?

At the UN, Colombian President Gustavo Petro compared Donald Trump to Hitler & urged criminal charges over U.S. missile strikes that killed 17 people near Venezuela. He accused Trump of “murder” for targeting unarmed migrant boats instead of using lawful maritime arrests.

“Massie said he did not think House Speaker Mike Johnson would block the final vote. ‘If he does, that’s the cover-up right there.’”

I’m at the CGI2025.. here are some stats I just learned Russia and China (together) are funding a $3B propaganda campaign this year alone $100M alone into Moldova election China has filed 50% more scientific patents this year than the US (due to cut funding), next year the ratio will be 1 🇺🇸:10 🇨🇳
