Scoop: During a trip to DC last week, CNN CEO Mark Thompson made a visit to the White House, where he promoted the network’s new streamer Staffers were taken aback the next morning when Thompson urged them to ease up on East Wing renovation coverage www.status.news/p/mark-thomp...

They're *laughing* at you, Mark Thompson. They're laughing at *you*. @cnn.com

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

A new USPS policy enacted by Trump's first Postmaster General could delay mail nationwide. The little-known initiative coupled with the GOP’s ongoing push to restrict mail voting could put millions of the party’s rural voters at risk in future elections.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Don’t Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House? Asking for a friend.

Tim Walz: "Everything coming out of DHS right now is about theatrics, is about a media hit or whatever. My guess is she's probably here on personal business and used it as a way to pay for it by having a press conference that had absolutely nothing factual and nothing new."

GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “No one can confirm we’ve actually been taking out drug traffickers… the admiral in charge resigned… all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime… the government’s story is not adding up.”

This is another lie. Trump & Republicans find every conceivable way to plunder funds and redirect them to things they weren’t appropriated for, but money specifically set aside to feed people in a shutdown situation are now untouchable. DIDN’T JESUS SPEAK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

House Republicans to Jack Smith last week: We have some tough questions for you. Jack Smith to House Republicans this week: I’m not trapped in here with you; you’re trapped in here with me. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight. Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

Timothy Mellon is the donor of the $130 million for the troops. In case you’re wondering what he’s like, he said in his autobiography that Black people have become “even more belligerent” because of social programs, and people who receive government assistance are slaves.

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

My wife’s (in some cases three-time) trump voting relatives have started mentioning the ballroom to me, negatively; anecdata but I’d like to see some high quality polling. I think it’s a mistake by certain elite elected Dems to think this story isn’t breaking thru

I salute Prime Minister Carney of Canada On behalf of sane Americans we are disgusted by our toddler-in-chief reckless behavior Canada is our beloved ally America also will suffer with his insane tariffs

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

Trump’s drug wars: In 9 months, he’s threatened to attack Mexico and annex Canada. He started a tariff battle with China over fentanyl, bombed Colombian fishermen and is now gearing up to strike Venezuela. There is no end game. He’s just a bully. With an army. Looking for someone to push around.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Worst. President. EVER.

This is insane

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Fixed it, you shitty cowards @nytimes.com

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Congratulations to Trump and the GOP Congress - they now own the two longest government shutdowns in history.

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump has corrupted the Department of Justice into a weapon against his political opponents — and too many legal experts are falling into a dangerous trap by pretending it’s still a normal institution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZR9...

If you see Federal officials interfering in your ability to freely vote in a private manner, document the issue and raise the problem to relevant legal authorities and public officials in your respective state and county.

We’ve become a bad joke.

President Macron: I want to confirm, Volodymyr, that we will deliver in the days to come additional Aster missiles, new training programs, and new Mirage. Thank you, France! 🇫🇷🇺🇦

The inaugural Orange Noser Of The Week is Rep. Mark Harris. He’s been working overtime to rebrand all the corruption, DOJ weaponization, ICE violence against Americans, rising prices, and mass layoffs as “wins” for Trump. Someone's trying to secure an invite to the Epstein Ballroom.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay. Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0. Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

Very concerning, if true.

This is chilling. And it doesn't exist anymore except on the Internet.

Spotify customer service is immediately ending conversations if you ask about them airing ICE advertisements on the platform. Cancel your Spotify subscription. #BoycottSpotify

This is why we need a Pentagon press that isn’t Tim Pool, Lindell TV, Epoch Times, Gateway Pundit and OAN.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
