Update — I just received this statement from a DHS spokesperson about hiring conspiracy theorist Gregg Phillips to lead FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery:

Duffy wants pull-up bars in airports, but won’t require airlines to compensate passengers when their flights are disrupted by carriers?? America: Open your eyes and see what this Administration truly is. www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/u...

What Texans deserve is simple: A leader who will fight for them. I started my career as a public defender. So, to me, it doesn’t matter if you’re red, white, or blue, send me to the Senate and you can trust that I will fight for you. I’m fighting for us.

one these days he’s gonna slip and go full frat in a speech

Ashley Moody: "It's a temporary fix while we actually dig in & explore how we can address healthcare for the American people...the Republican plan is we thought a lot about this, we put pen to paper, & this is our best scenario right now to propose a fraud-free actually affordable healthcare plan."

I really hate it when that happens. Every time I buy a new house, illegal aliens come in and take it from me. Thank you, Donald Trump, for finally addressing this definitely-real problem.

Saladino: "The goal here is not for people to get sweaty in airports. Nobody wants to be sitting next to somebody smelling on an airplane. But ... "

My mom's really been pestering us for Christmas ideas for our kids, who can be tough to get stuff for. But I hadn't thought of steel.

Rep. Keith Self on the economy: "Let's just give it a few more months. We're starting to see the green chutes of it. It's going to explode soon."

As a climate scientist, the most charitable thing I can say is that this guy's a fucking moron.

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President. This is a big deal! If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

What’s left of America’s diplomatic service after the administration’s bloodletting is demoralized and unable to perform at its optimum. @steadystatevets.bsky.social reviewed our sobering workforce survey and lays out a plan that could bring the FS back from the brink: substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Steady State warns that Trump’s NSS has created a “huge diversion of resources,” blinding U.S. intelligence to major global threats while concentrating on narrow political targets in the Western Hemisphere. #SteadyState #holdfast www.nextgov.com/policy/2025/...

Wow. Trump personally intervened to block more than 4,100 Jan. 6 documents records that injured police officers had subpoenaed as part of their lawsuit after being violently attacked by MAGA rioters. The Department of Justice confirmed in a new court filing that Trump invoked

A heads-up to anyone traveling to the U.S. from abroad: Be prepared for increased scrutiny of your online presence. Travelers from countries like Britain, France, Germany, and South Korea could soon be subject to a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a

DAILY SHOW: “Donald Trump is swooping in to save farmers… from Donald Trump. To make up for $44 Billion in losses he’s bailing them out with $12 Billion. (12 is less than 44)”

🔥 @emmavigeland.bsky.social : “I’m a believer in MEDICARE FOR ALL. The ACA expanded coverage but didn’t solve everything, we need a single-payer system. (Also: Trump covered up the Epstein files, listen to Republican women in Congress when they say this administration doesn’t respect women)”

🚨BREAKING: More than 300,000 Missourians have signed a petition demanding that the gerrymander be put to a statewide referendum, advocacy organization People Not Politicians announced as it delivered those signatures to the state government Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He is not well. If someone’s grandpa posted this on Facebook, the family would be discussing assisted living by dinner.

As if we needed more evidence of the bed shared by the GOP and Faux News @hcrichardson.bsky.social

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

A gerrymander is not a sure thing…

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.” Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

ILLINOIS: “residents can sue federal immigration agents if they believe their civil rights were violated after @GovPritzker enacted a new law… restricts immigration enforcement efforts outside of state courthouses and lets plaintiffs sue for damages.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

My people, I know you can't afford hamburger, but I bring you the gift of racism!

The President's Affordability Tour begins with a central message: Cheer up. You can easily do without and enjoy it. And it teaches your entitled kids a healthy lesson. Also steel. That's a real need.

Eileen Higgins just became the first Democrat elected mayor of Miami in nearly 30 years.

Trump has repeatedly put farmers out of business. Has driven up their costs for everything, including labor. Has them begging him for welfare every year. Tells them he knows more about their business than they do. Lies to them. And they still vote Republican and send him money.

Reminder that Trump denied calling nations with lots of Black and brown people "shit holes," but now he admits it. So he lied.

Trump: "Now we're gonna do land. Because the land is much easier and it's even more prevalent. If you don't share our values, contribute to our economy, and assimilate into our society, then we don't want you in our country. We don't want you."

Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room

It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.

Trump touts the 8 wars he's purportedly ended, but then admits one of them is still happening

Want some proof that these folks are all surface no substance? For fucking crying out loud.

We need more of this across the USA! Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has approved a set of new laws designed to strengthen protections for immigrants and limit abusive immigration enforcement practices.

The EPA has scrubbed most of its website of any mention that human activity is driving climate change.

Watch as ICE agents move a private individuals camera on their home. This is a violation of 4th A rights as a judicial warrant is needed to be on private property. When it's realized > 73% of ICE arrests have no criminal record, what will happen to those people? 📹: Veronicadelacruztv/IG

We the people reporting for duty.

ICE is using "live targeting" in and around Portland, signing warrants only after arrests, submitting false reports to justify arrests, and using Spanish language as the basis for their arrests. How many constitutional violations can ICE commit in each arrest? www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...
