IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SEE A FAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE HALLS OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

Project 2025 referenced shrinking farmers access to foreign markets, restricting growth opportunities for producers. (p. 307)

Donald Trump is still threatening to deploy military troops to intimidate Illinois. Governor Pritzker: “This is a blatant violation of the Constitution. Plain and simple.”

They'll track down this guy and fire him within a week.

There it is. Trump just confirmed he'll be cutting benefits for hardworking Americans after he shuts down the government.

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress. 1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) is prepared to cave on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown. This cowardly move would allow Republicans to avoid the shame of a shutdown while ripping healthcare away from millions. Call Schumer’s Office and tell him to vote NO: (202) 224-6542

Donald Trump is president. He completely usurped the power of Congress — and his MAGA lackeys are more than happy to go along with whatever he wants. If the government ends up shutting down, there's only one person to blame.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Translation: feel free to harass and rape fellow soldiers and sailors with reckless abandon because there’s no longer a safe way for them to report you.

Americans can't afford a pound of ground beef, but Pete Hegseth blew millions of your taxpayer dollars flying in every General and Admiral around the world so he could yell at them about the Top 100 things he hates about facial hair.

Republicans don’t need a single Dem vote to keep the government open. Yet here is the banner at HUD today.

What Hegseth did today was inform an organization he’s unqualified to lead that (a) any area in which he believes he personally excels (e.g. physical fitness) is all that matters, and (b) any area in which he’s deficient (leadership, morality, ethics, record, experience, intelligence) is immaterial.

The 'don't call us fascists' fascist using the fascist playbook to try to stifle desent from citizens who oppose his fascist regime.

We remain in the dumbest timeline.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

So Pete Hegseth says no more ‘overweight people’ in the military. Cool. Is Kristi Noem rolling out the same weight policy for ICE agents or does the rule stop where MAGA cosplay begins? I guess the shaving policy doesn’t matter when the only thing visible under the ski masks is their eyes.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire. Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by as much as 75%. Every lie they tell about a shutdown is meant to cover this up.

👇🏽while @rustygrills & the @tnhousegop beg for a famer bailout, they’re ignoring (and supporting) the real issue: Trump’s trade war

Not trans. Not Muslim. Not a liberal. Just another radical white man with access to guns who in this case hated the LDS Church, as the NYT has since reported.

MAGA is spreading an altered picture of the Michigan church shooter with “Trump 2020” removed from his shirt.

BREAKING: The HUD website now has the following message slot the government shutdown in red at the top of the page. This is absolutely a violation of the HATCH act and must be investigated immediately.

This isn’t about Bad Bunny. This isn’t about a halftime show. It’s about who we collectively want to be, the kind of nation we dream of living in, and the future we want those who follow us to inherit.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

The fact that this guy is an idiot and also utterly ridiculous does not diminish how dangerous he and Trump are. In fact, they are a useful distraction from it.

I’ve known Trump long enough to know he always foreshadows his next moves, they start as a tease to soften the ground so to speak, get folks acclimated with the unthinkable. Bringing up Canada as the 51st state in a room filled with U.S military top brass is no accident.

HUD used to stand for Housing and Urban Development. Now it stands for Hysterical Unhinged Drama.

This is a blatant lie — but that's the point. It's Authoritarianism 101. Trump lives to sow chaos and act like a strongman to cover for his rapidly declining popularity. He needs to "other" his political opponents and stoke fear in order to hide his failures. This is why we must not give in.

This is not the flex he thinks it is.

“Please clap.”

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Donnie Demento: "Who knew that Ukraine was so... inhabited?"

So he wanted Putin to win.

Wow, the invasion wasn't the problem. It's that Putin couldn't completely occupy and annex a sovereign nation in less than a week. What a shame Ukraine has persisted in the defense of their independence.

And by Putin getting it done in a week, you mean what? Annihilating Ukraine?

NO MORE FATTIES. Does that mean we get a new commander in chief

Trump: I'm going to be meeting with generals and with admirals and with leaders, and if I don't like somebody, I'm gonna fire him right on the spot.

Trump: "We are discovering American muscle, reasserting American might, and beginning the next chapter in American military legends and lore. That's L-O-R-E. It is lore."
