Bill Cassidy’s actions around snake oil peddler Casey Means’ nomination for Surgeon General will be revealing. He has done nothing to stop the public health catastrophe he launched when he not only voted to confirm RFK Jr. but also convinced others to do so. All eyes are on you, Cassidy.

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

After the Pentagon forced a mass exit of journalists who understood military finance, tactics and technology, their replacements have arrived: cranks, conspiracy theorists and both foreign and domestic propagandists www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

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?

Here they are- donors for destruction of WH

Wow. Everyone needs to ask @SpeakerJohnson and every GOP candidate about this. As if he isn’t corrupt enough… Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

This is insane. If Obama did this the GOP would impeach

Yes indeed!

Wut

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Chicago No Kings.

The corrupt DOJ isn’t only manufacturing prosecutions against Trump’s political enemies, creating the government weaponization and “lawfare” Republicans pretended was happening before when it objectively wasn’t, they’re charging people with crimes Trump himself literally did at much greater scale.

Oh yeah. Nicely done, GOP chumps.

Good. Nice to see some folks actually valuing information, science, medicine, good health, and community.

FYI “Young Republicans” are adult men

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

If these four "Young" Republicans are the Übermenschen, we all deserve a refund on evolution

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done? Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

More moral and message clarity from another genuine leader within the Democratic Party.

This is what ice is doing

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Just a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs. It could end this madness any day they chose to discover their power.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa." That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

It’s even less responsible for a Republican president to be starting one.

Rick Scott was forced to resign as CEO of the hospital company he is referencing here, and pay a then record breaking $1.7 billion fine to settle a Medicare fraud scam. Why would the GOP or cable have him on as a voice for delivery of affordable health care?

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Very catchy German/Italian anti-fascist mash up

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This government shutdown is on them.

Trump’s $20 billion bailout helps right wing president Javier Milei, and also helps billionaire Rob Citrone who has invested heavily in Argentine interests. Our money should not be being used to bail out Trump’s dictator buddies OR billionaires!! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

That adage about a broken, hypocritical clock . . .

Good work

We deserve a system that funds dignity, not just rockets and tax shelters.

Another congrats to the Americans who thought putting war crimes advocates in charge of the military would make no difference or perhaps be an improvement, and that reinstalling a former president who ordered attacks, destabilized situations, and pardoned convicted war criminals would bring peace.

We must pay billions to farmers Because we cut off their customers with tariffs And pay billions to Argentina Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited Because that is America First
