You can feel the bloodlust in every cinematic scene. The full-metal gear. The racing cars. The roar of the Black Hawks. The drawn guns aimed at their targets. Doors blasted open. The residents zip-tied and put into vans. The performative humiliation. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear spells it out. The Big UGLY Bill, w/ cuts to Medicaid will likely cause rural hospitals to close or shrink. Rural hospitals drive local economies. Their loss will cause a domino effect. This is just the beginning. #Pinks Via @npr.org Morning Edition IG

The outer workings of presidential insanity #USDemocracy

How can we cope? We need to stay connected. This is an excellent read by the Politics Chicks.

EVANGELICAL TRUMP SPIRITUAL ADVISOR IS CONVICTED AS A PEDOPHILE Trump previously praised him. Obviously. #USDemocracy youtu.be/EEn_On_R__o?...

If Pope Leo's comments on the nuances of what it means to be "pro-life" bother you, then you need to recalibrate your moral compass.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

Sure,We Can Agree With This Statement Sean,Because It's True!

Where is the 7 trillion and the Epstein Files..keep asking. Don’t let them distract you.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

It’s time to stop playing games and release those damn Epstein files! Now! 🔥🔥🔥 #SheShed #Pinks #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Project 2025 was the plan all along The fever dream of Stephen Miller Fire as many government employees as possible Roll back regulations so billionaires can exploit ALL of our resources-including US workers End anything that promotes equity Destroy the rule of law Burn down American democracy

Trump trashed the job market, fired the jobs chief, drastically cut healthcare funding, shut down the govt to hide the Epstein files - then told America: “Go fuck yourselves.”

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

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.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 1 OCTOBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES THESE TERRIBLE TIMES TODAY ....A THREAD I hope you will indulge me and see the whole thread There are people who come into your life and change you for the better I love Dr. Jane Goodall truly with all my heart (🧵1)

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This ⬇️

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

If you've done in-person research at any of the following presidential libraries in the last 8 months, can you please follow me/contact me—soon—for a story I'm working on (can be off the record)? Hoover FDR Truman Eisenhower JFK LBJ Ford Carter And either way, can you please share this request? 🙏

This morning was pure psychopathy. On the world stage. In front of generals and admirals who have actual important work to do. Performative partisan political rhetoric from an angry macho dimwitted sociopath and a ranting rambling repetitive narcissist in chief. Absurd. Troubling. And surreal.

The President of the United States is a narcissistic psychopath who never developed a conscience or a normal human emotional operating system. His go-to interactions wth the world are self-aggrandizement, bullying, condescension, and the deconstruction of decent people.

"'Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life ... Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.'" www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo...

BREAKING Trump opened his speech to senior military brass this morning by daring the generals to walk out if they didn’t like what he had to say. Then, he warned, “there goes your rank, there goes your future.” More ⬇️ 🧵

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Don’t let them lie to you! The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House. If the government shuts down, it's because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the American people. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

He is a never-ending source of material for my classes on assessing psychopathology. I literally use his quotes as a way of identifying this stuff.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

💯

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into why—and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska. Go to the LINK in BIO to read the full investigation.

Irony died yesterday

Lindsey Graham said he hopes “this never ends.” Which part, exactly?

LOL if the GOP candidate who supports the President who has cheated on his wives, taxes, laws, the Constitution, an election, the public, and his golf scores is going to make an issue of a distinguished naval officer's failure as a cadet to turn in fellow students for cheating. LMAO.
