Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

As many have warned — “The Supreme court is scheduled to consider whether to hear Kim Davis’ challenge to same-sex marriage at their private conference on Friday, Nov. 7…” www.scotusblog.com/2025/10/cour...

Not great

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

ok who did this? ☹️

On the 18th day of October in the Year of Our Lord 2025, the President of the Unted States, successor to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and nominee for the Nobel Prize, posted a video of himself dumping a load of shit on his fellow Americans. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia accused the U.S. of murdering an innocent fisherman in an attack on a boat American authorities claimed was carrying illicit drugs, prompting President Trump to declare on Sunday that he would slash assistance to Colombia.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Everything we believed had happened - lying to a fed’l judge, intentionally violating the tight to be heard in court - this is beyond outrageous. ANd we must thank & protect Whistleblowers who sacrifice their careers to do what’s right!

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

The Trump administration is spending $172 million on two jets for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior officials

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... “If you think Trumpism will simply end in three years, you are naive. Left unopposed, global populism of the sort Trumpism represents could dominate for a generation. This could be the rest of our lives, and our children’s, too.”

JUST IN: Trump has commuted the sentence of former Congressman George SANTOS.

An ICE agent arrested for drunk driving with his kids in the car tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers (“Are you Haitian?”) These are the agents Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem are hiring to carry out their cruel immigration policies

But now Vance is on it.

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

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.

Billion with a B.

Trump says he's now "looking at land" strikes on Venezuela

NEW: After over two hours of oral argument in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting case, the Supreme Court seems ready to scrap fair elections and hand red states the power to freely draw electoral maps that eviscerate the political power of minority voters.

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

This is the nation that we are now. This nation is unbelievably sick.

"I do think he needs help, and I don't think anybody around him on a day-to-day basis wants to get him any help, because they have more power based upon his diminished capacity." @jbpritzker.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th. The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
