I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

NEW: Service cuts initiated under President Donald Trump’s first postmaster general could delay mail throughout most of the nation, putting millions of mail-in voters at risk of blowing ballot deadlines in future elections. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/pic...

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more. It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor. But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious. These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever. They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

This is insane

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

🎯🎯

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

It seems like there is no cease in the ceasefire

As you enjoy picking and carving your #Halloween pumpkin, remember the farm workers who labored to grow and harvest them. Let's give a big thanks to the Salinas CA farm workers who harvested these pumpkins that have ended up at local pumpkin patches and area stores. #WeFeedYou

June Lockhart, "Lassie" and "Lost in Space" actress who was one of the last surviving stars from Hollywood's Golden Age, has died at 100

America needs a woman President.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.   Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself. Americans will not forget.

Perhaps there’s a reason that the Constitution doesn’t leave the powers over taxation and foreign commerce to the whims of one man. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Been really enjoying these Instagram videos by Peter Glomb, a Swiss-trained, American watchmaker at Wristcheck. Here, he's repairing a rare version of the Patek 96, first introduced in 1932 and widely regarded as the watch that set the template for dress watches. IG peterelliotglomb

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

So Trump Jr has a federal contract to build drone engines…. Imagine if Hunter Biden had this contract under Joe, Republican heads 💥

America is shut down, and the President is skipping town.

One of the cleverest things that Trumpists figured out is that you don’t have to kill an institution if you can make it kill itself.

Can we continue to follow up on this $130 million donation Trump says his anonymous friend donated to pay troops until we see actual proof of the money coming in and where it went?

We took to the street to hear people's thoughts on the thousands of federal workers locked out of their jobs or working without pay. They all agree: Congress needs to put working people first.

Happy Asbestos Inhalation, Golfers!

American law is truly an ass. Eric & Don jr. were ordered to pay $4 million each in the NY fraud case & haven't paid a dime, while the case is under appeal. Yet Don jr. can invest $4 million in a drone company, get 'elected' to the board & the company scores a huge Pentagon contract.

Never imagined our law enforcement would look like this.

Holy crap

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation. Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

this is the people's ballroom

Would have loved to see the due-diligence on this one. 🤡 @financialtimes.com $UMAC www.ft.com/content/4ced...

We’ve become a bad joke.

THE BLUE JAYS TAKE GAME 1 OF THE #WORLDSERIES

Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

I think we all can sleep better at night knowing the motors in our military drones are now being manufactured by Don Jr’s company in FL. Hopefully we won’t need them to fly for very long.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

So now our military is mercenary

The DOD accepted an anonymous $130 million gift from a wealthy donor to help pay military salaries during the government shutdown. The department would not release any additional details about the unusual move.

Absolutely outrageous!! 🤬

Also, we have secret police now

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months. Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

This is fucked

Americans, we’re in trouble
