US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments. They are being fed by food banks and charities in Germany. @reuters.com also just reported that US military base workers in Italy are being fed by charity too.

It’s honky-dory for their orange lord and savior to spew bigotry in an endless succession of self-aggrandizing hate rallies, for Young Republicans to chatter among themselves about how much they detest off-white people... But Fuentes – phew, that’s just too daggone forthright."

Good question.

Awoke very worried for friends & family, then made the terrible mistake of watching this video. Not about to fall back asleep now! Plain speak on tRump’s psychopathy and dementia. Many people I love are genuinely hurting because of this monster. Afraid it will only get worse before it gets better.

“trigger warning: everybody in this story fucking sucks.”

“The spokesperson, Halvard Dorrinström, explained how the scoring system works, using the hypothetical example of someone who withheld food from 42 million people.”

, “…the two events are signposts to where that system is likely heading — not toward a socialist revolution but to a softer form of capitalism, more in line with advanced capitalism elsewhere around the world.”

Robert Reich would like a word.

“Those of us engaged in this fight are witnessing a wholesale attack on free and fair elections,” said Marc Elias, a prominent election lawyer involved in more than 60 election-related suits. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

President Trump is rejecting visas for fat people. The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with fat people. Dude is absolutely FAT. "Fine for me, but not for thee."

All of this

When you're tempted to reason with MAGA.

About time to storm the Bastille.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Just a reminder.

SHUTDOWN TAKEAWAY: send home as many federal employees as you want, cut off people's food stamps, let health care system career towards a cliff, but don't mess with air travel, especially with holidays looming.

Horrifying and accurate.

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS: “If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

After Tuesday’s elections, Republicans are even more desperate to prevent free and fair elections in 2026. In this video, I lay out the eight things we should all expect next and what we can do to fight back. youtu.be/7rSwJPz2MRo?...

Happy B'day Hedy Lamarr. In 1942, she co-invented a secret system of “frequency hopping." A weapon to stop the Nazis from jamming Allied torpedoes. Her invention powers Wi-Fi. Bluetooth. GPS. Every smartphone carries her fingerprint. She was a genius. An inventor. A refugee who defied the Nazis.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached: Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Hassan Kaine King Rosen Shaheen If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

A Waukegan councilman was briefly detained by U.S. immigration agents on Friday, and he says the agents drew their guns on him while he was sitting in his car with his hands raised. “My life flashed before my eyes,” said Ald. Juan Martinez.

abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi... "It's very clear that the conditions are horrific, and everyone is experiencing some of the same degradation," said MacArthur Justice Center Lead Attorney Alexa Van Brunt. Every Republican should be in prison for this! Crimes against Humanity!

Surely something witty could caption this pic, but it just made me smile, even laugh. Never hurts.

Things are fine.

You tell 'em Bernie! Damn.

Gangsta Kitty Cats!

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

CUED to a juicy part near the end, where Pam's brother (a defense lawyer) is suddenly getting his dubious clients' cases dismissed. The entire episode is absolutely worth watching. These women are the BEST at what they do, especially their "This F*cking Guy" series. Well researched & wickedly funny.

"Of all the problems facing humanity, there’s arguably only one that really matters: how do we achieve carbon-neutrality quickly enough to save our bacon?"

A future vote on the ACA tax credits is not enough. The American people about to lose their health care need results, not votes.

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Speaker Mike Johnson: “He’s blocking Adelita Grijalva from being sworn in because she’s the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. This is about protecting pedophiles — and I know one of them is in there.
