I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I'll never see. - Luthen Rael in Andor Pic of the day #photography

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Does anyone stop and think about how idiotic and embarrassing it is that we’re the United States of America, and we have an entire government that spends the whole day trolling, posting, and documenting evidence that will definitely be used at a future trial?

A people who would allow a president to ignore all proper procedures, rules, norms, and laws and unilaterally demolish a third of the people’s house and build a palace on the grounds of the people’s house is a people who deserve to live under tyranny.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that most of the criticisms being lobbed at Mamdani are not out of genuine anger or surprise at any new revelations about him but are rather a transparently bad faith smear campaign to punish him for being a successful politician while Muslim

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Eric is a Missouri congressman. He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight? MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Amazon announces they are laying off the largest amount of workers ever in the company’s history. 30,000+ workers will lose their jobs.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong. Let that sink in.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

if you’ve never seen Interview with the Vampire, it ends with the vampire being told he’s made it through to a second interview

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment. Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it. He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts. Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it." Go Jack!

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Unpaid air traffic controllers will miss their first full paycheck on Tuesday, traditionally an inflection point in previous government shutdowns—but sick calls are already on the rise.

Things like this keep happening.

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.

I meant to post this earlier today. It was a good reminder I needed, even though I still struggle with body image. every. single. day. @thelatestkate.bsky.social #PositiveAffirmation #BodyPositivity #BodyImage #YouAreLovable

Some people truly do change the world. Dr. Bartlett was one of them ❤️‍🩹

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.

Yeah. So The White House is designated a National Historic Landmark. That means: It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance. Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted. It’s not his house! WTF.

OMG, my daughter made gluten-free sourdough for me and it tastes like the real deal! She made her own starter and everything. Mind you, she’s 15! This kid blows my mind!!!

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

How many classes today were canceled because a whole suite of EdTech services are built atop AWS? You know what platform never crashes?

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Everything Worse

This is a nice little bookshop but I miss not being able to go to some of the best bookshops!

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

BONDI: The National Guard is on the way right now as we speak. You're sitting here grilling me and they're on their way to Chicago to keep your state safe. DURBIN: It's my job to grill you

Leavitt: “You guys are framing this like the president wants to do the exact thing he says he wants to do.”

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein. The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.
