The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Also lying: - your own eyes - every bit of video evidence - the fabric of reality itself

I’m convinced he’s dealing with a serious health issue and they’re hiding all of it.

It's really great that we have a mad-king who thinks he's going to hell no matter what he does and is in charge of a humanity-ending nuclear arsenal.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th. If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

Bullshit.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

How do I block all the AI slop? Also so far ai so just made my life 1000000 times more annoying.

In the last week, Donald Trump has insisted that there are no more stores left in war-ravaged Portland, asserted that Joe Biden was president during the January 6th insurrection, hosted conspiracy theorists for an "Antifa" summit, and said he'd consider pardoning his good friend the sex trafficker.

They cannot talk about the shutdown without lying. There is no connection between troop payments and federal employee layoffs. Zero. They are paying the troops with multiyear R&D allocations within DOD. This is also illegal by the way! But completely disconnected to the layoffs.

Thomas is 100% right. There's no law (yet) that a news network has to put proven liars on the air to lie to their audience. If a network thinks it needs to put Vance on because he's VP, the network needs to make the defense of truth so aggressive that Vance ends the interview and flees.

Is traditional legacy media incapable of meeting a moment in which power relies on propaganda and political theatre?

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain. While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

vought's view is that the president is an elected dictator and lo and behold he is seizing outright the power of the purse

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Collect a claim from one side, collect a claim from the other, present them both to the reader with an awkward shrug and a "who can say?" And the photo choice -- Noem's looking down ... on what? The reverse angle showed a small crowd and a quiet street. But can't show that, it's biased to one side!

1) WHY isn't this a bigger story? High food prices were cited time and again as a major 2024 campaign issue? 2) Democrats said said over and over again this was going to happen. 3) Why didn't the MSM take it more seriously, when trump LIED over and over again about bringing food prices down???

Trump’s presidency has been defined by the decay of public information sources and dismantling of public health institutions. So firing the people who produce the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Report certainly tracks.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this* They don't give their opinion to the media They don't criticize how SCOTUS works This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

🚨🚨🚨A 15 year old opens the door to the vehicle, but ICE monsters proceed to throw her around like a rag doll — because they can. Notice the police drive away, just out of view of the camera. Uploaded ~ 2 hours ago. 1/2

The guy who illegally accrued over $5 billion this year by abusing his power is prosecuting a black woman for getting a $50 a month discount on a loan.

Pallets of cash!

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

Imagine that

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

This seems ominous. Trump just appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail the distribution of abortion pills—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the OLC at the DOJ. 1/

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Trump turned the DOJ into the Dept of Revenge while Peter Thiel is building phase 2, a Christo-Fascist-Oligarchy. Gee wiz, I just thought they would stop illegals from eating my pet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss. More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

A Qatari air force facility in Idaho..............an authoritarian regime will be permitted to build an air force facility on US soil. #Pinks

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

Other people Homeland Security has arrested in addition to the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa: - the mistress of the King of Gumdrop Mountain - the Bride of Frankenstein - Pepper Potts

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Was debating going to my local Oct 18 protest, but hell now I'm googling inflatable Halloween costumes to go as.

They’re really in a full press moment with this nonsense.

And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

The craziest thing about the Leticia James indictment is that it was ordered by Donald Trump who needed 1000 FBI agents to redact his name from the Epstein files.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

The Republican shutdown continues.
