It's official: Trump is insane All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison. But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon. Today, he got it. If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it.

I hope voters make them pay for all of Trump’s corruption, incompetence, lies and malfeasance. It is only made possible by the acquiescence and cowardice of Republicans in Congress, so they are the ones who should be held accountable for all of it in the short term.

There is no possible democratic, constitutional interpretation of the presidency in which Donald Trump can unilaterally destroy the White House. Because he did, he sees himself as a monarch. Read about it in today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/of-kings-a...

Trump does not love our country.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in? JEFFRIES: We have no idea what you're talking about or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

Here are the companies responsible, in collusion with Trump, for the demolition of the East Wing of the people’s house.

Yikes, Volvo destroyed the White House. 👀

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod. And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

Imagine Barack Obama…oh, forget it

The U.S. military has killed at least 32 people in seven strikes off the coast of Venezuela without telling Congress or the American people who was killed, or on what evidence.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

MAGA: “he doesn’t even take a salary!!!”

This is utterly horrifying

As called on TUDN radio:

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

If you weren't at #ragaslive 24 hour festival in Red Hook at @pioneerwork.bsky.social , make sure you put next years on your calendar. It was another incredible day (and light) of music and glorious energy.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.” - Gandhi

In his first television interview, former Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni — who worked at the DOJ for 15 years — says he witnessed a troubling pattern of behavior inside the department before he was fired. 60 Minutes, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Pay attention to how worthless @jaketapper.bsky.social is in this video after Johnson rattles off at least 5 bold faced lies.

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

"The development raises new questions, including whether the US military rendered aid to the survivors and whether they are now in US military custody, possibly as prisoners of war."

Weird flex for the peace prize.

"Following the law of armed conflict is not a burden on warriors; it is the very expression of their warrior ethos. It is what separates professional soldiers, airmen, and sailors from criminals." Former CNO Admiral John Richardson (Ret.)

Trump Tarrifs:

i hope this guy is ok but also this imagery is perfect to undermine the fascists

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

America is spending $20B of your tax dollars to ensure Argentina continues to have free healthcare while the US government is shutdown because it can’t afford to give you a discount on healthcare premiums? Make it make sense.

So this time the boat *wasn't even moving*.

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats. Epstein Shutdown

@electdemocrats.bsky.social get on board ASAP. No time to waste on this guy, he’s the real deal.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

‼️To destroy the hundreds of Russian drones that attack Ukraine almost every night, Ukraine’s air defense uses every possible method. For example, Soviet, propeller-driven aircraft such as the Yak-52 are used - they are cheaper than the drones themselves.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me
