I'm a pro writer. Who do I have to bang to get a day pass to the Oval, and unlike the spineless press corps, roll my eyes (loudly) at the Orange Toddler, say (loudly),"What an a**hole" and then flounce out in front of cameras? SOMEONE needs to do it.

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

This dude is giving me life...just what we need these days. Looks like 80s Mellencamp, has a Dylan/Neil vibe with the righteousness of Pete Seger and Woody Guthrie. youtu.be/TPHafKOd9A4?...

I remember when Dick Cheney was among the darkest people on earth, and many of us prayed for his de*th. Despite his inexcusable deeds, he looks like Mr. Rogers compared to the filth currently soiling the Oval.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I think one of the things overlooked in the whole Epstein thing is the role that obscene levels of money plays. All that money breeds entitlement and an unspoken web of protection. But it never ends well. Never. My latest Substack (please read, share, and like) open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

The sound inside trump's brain... youtube.com/clip/UgkxfF6...

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people. And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

The SNAP situation just hit home. I volunteer w/LasagnaLove and was given an emergency match to deliver to a local family in dire straits. Just dropped it off; Mom was so grateful. On the drive home, I was happy to help, but also enraged at this petty little creature making folks suffer.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

Because it's a dreary Nov day and everything is terrible, I cooked up a mess of Chicken and Dumplings, using my grandmother's handwritten recipe. When making the dumplings, it reads to roll 'em out "thin enough to read a newspaper through." It's a comforting touchstone to family history.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

“I’m still surprised so many others chose to stay silent instead of speaking the truth back in 2016. Trump’s racism and sexual predation were no secret. His lies, malfeasance and prolific incompetence in business were already in public view - if you were even mildly aware of his history in NYC.” ope

With SNAP about to run out and food banks overloaded, re-upping a piece I wrote during COVID. Good tips for supporting these crucial community lifelines. 'Cause trump is all about ballrooms and breadlines. www.nowwithpurpose.com/smarter-ways...

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Terrorists tried to destroy the White House in 2001 with a hijacked plane. 24 years later the President of the United States accepts a plane from people funding terrorists and is destroying the White House himself.

“How DARE Cracker Barrel change their logo 😡🤬😡🤬 I’ll never eat there again!” “Destroy the White House harder, daddy 🥵🤤”

Paranormal activity is known to kick up during construction, renovation. Let's hope that the notoriously haunted WH is giving that fetid orange thing some seriously scary nights.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Jimmy Kimmel just called trump "King Hungry the 8th" and I can't stop laughing.

Trump wants violence at No Kings rally so he can send in military—don’t give him the excuse he wants!

Did the Epstein Survivors hold their 2nd press conf today? I thought they were supposed to...#EpsteinFiles

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

Trump and his goons aren't to be feared -- no more than "Francis" from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." And that's our weapon. My latest Substack. groganc.substack.com/publish/post...

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

It's becoming so obscenely cruel and criminal in this regime that I'm manifesting a kind of reverse Red Wedding at the next Cabinet meeting/a** kissing event. Would solve a lot of problems in a swoop.

Got a little spicy on this one. Because trump is working my last nerve. My latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

It gets worse by the minute.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

One teeny, tiny pleasure of this time is watching whatever's left of Marco Rubio's will to live leach out of him every day. It's like seeing taxidermy in real time.
