Maybe, while the government is shut down, we could take this opportunity to improve society somewhat.

'That was bonkers': Former Marine fighter pilot blasts Trump’s 'rambling' military speech. Amy McGrath added “…and everybody in that room knows that we don't have a coherent defense policy...You can either do it or you can't.” l.smartnews.com/p-6iQ3ezvy/s...

Well… the whole world can now see that the emperor is naked. How embarrassing.

How humiliating for the United States military

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Coca-Cola stopped using cocaine in its recipe in 1903, but 7-Up kept using lithium until 1948.

Tell me more about the violent left. @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

I call on every billionaire, every living president and vice president, every retired general and every Supreme Court justice - past and present. I call on CEOs and union leaders, Nobel laureates and educators, clergy and cultural icons, scientists and veterans, grassroots organizers and artists.

Right on the prediction. Right about the reaction.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Erasing history.

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Any republicans out there still remember what it's like to be American?

Thanks to Minn Post and former Minnesota US Attorney Andy Luger for hosting me for a conversation about my book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.

Good morning. 🌞

Here we go through the looking glass.

This is a crystal clear image of the scumbag Nazi ICE agent that brutally assaulted a mother at a NYC immigration office, while her young daughter watched - and a new photo showing him grabbing her hair before he slammed her to the ground. Make him even MORE famous.

Finally some truth in advertising. #DonaldTrump #ICE

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Have you tried purchasing canned beverages recently?

Thread: Republicans won the Senate in 2024 despite Democrats winning more votes & representing more people nationwide. Republicans last won more support than Democrats in the 1990s but won the Senate anyway in 7 of 13 elections since 2000. Data & charts below: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Can't we just get healthcare

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #AmeliaEarhart said so.

Seems our only hope to save democracy is to make saving it profitable.

I hope the next time I verbally attack a police officer, all they do is issue a scathing letter.

Happy #NationalStupidQuestionsDay! Here are actual questions people asked Google: ● What happens if you do not show up to a job interview? ● Are there birds in Canada? ● Should I tell my parents I'm adopted?

Mike Johnson Completely Implodes Trying To Defend Trump Speaker Mike Johnson showed why Republicans are likely to lose the House as he tried to defend Trump, but all he could offer were easily disproven lies and conspiracies. www.politicususa.com/p/mike-johns...
