North Carolina already one of most gerrymandered states. Now GOP passing new gerrymander giving Rs nearly 80% of seats in state where Trump got 51%. Specifically targets Black Dem Don Davis. This is preview of what post-Voting Rights Act America will look like www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hi mPox. Welcome to the US. Our HHS Secretary wants you to have a long and productive stay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

donald trump wants 230 million dollars from the DOJ for doing their job and prosecuting him for his crimes. He'll probably get it too. Shoot I never asked for a dollar, I just want him and every single person who attacked my coworkers and me on January 6th held accountable.

BREAKING: Sen. DURBIN sends official congressional correspondence asking if Kristi Noem has hired any January 6th rioters at ICE.

from the cover of Time magazine blaring HIS TRIUMPH to this in a week

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

After gutting Medicare and Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the rich, Trump and Republicans are now refusing to stop insurance premiums from skyrocketing. Meanwhile, California will make CalRx insulin available at $11 a pen starting Jan. 1st. We are not the same.

Trump is doing the exact same job as President as he did in business. Trying to make himself rich, get vengeance on his enemies, extort everyone in sight, build monuments to himself, and leaving ruin in his wake everywhere.

CONTEXT: The First Amendment applies to all journalists whether they have credentials or not.

i appreciate trump's commitment to doing, literally, every metaphorical thing republicans insist he isn't doing

Kristi Noem on her new Gulfstreams: "These aircraft are Coast Guard aircraft to replace 25 year old airplanes that are necessary for the mission of the Coast Guard. Congress appropriated the dollars and paid for them in the big beautiful bill and we're grateful that we're able to move forward."

And to those saying that it was a mistake for Gov Newsome to proactively close the highway— because only one shell hit one patrol car on the closed road, imagine the consequences of a mortar shell in fast moving traffic. This is a 10 lane highway. It could have caused a major pileup/loss of life.

The irony is that the "No Kings" slogan originated from social media posts in which the president declared congestion pricing "dead" followed by "LONG LIVE THE KING!" That was eight months ago — and congestion pricing is far from dead as Trump's illegal bid to kill it flounders. buff.ly/DA9BgKx

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

Dude who thought posting a shitting all over America video was an appropriate thing for a president to do is gonna call other people "whacked out."

they just fuckin laddered it out

Trump will happily send troops to LA and SF but not Kern County, CA, which has one of the highest per-capita crime rates in state. How come? I’m suuuuure it has nothing to do with the fact that Trump carried solidly-red Kern by 21 points in 2024. electionsapps.kerncounty.com/ElectionInfo...

It’s sad that Mrs. Betty has to give Meghan McCain a grammar-school lesson in politics.

Rainy Day Stafford, jetlagged Rams ... parlaying Jags +3 and UNDER 44.5 at +275.

I understand the terminology here is more complicated, but I always marvel at headlines like this. I.e., “nation that pledged not to do any more shooting is shooting again, saying the other group also did shooting, testing their agreement not to shoot at each other anymore.”

I will not post the AI video of king Donald dumping shit on Americans, but I will say it's the best AI generated summary of his presidencies.

SCOTUS has been shitfaced drunk on power since Bush v Gore at least, so it's only fitting that they face the shit head on!

On the scale of military budgets the the Coast Guards is pretty low at $13.8 billion. It's wild that Noem took it out of the their budget as opposed to the DHS' $60.8 billion in discretionary funding. Hope you're not a boater. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Curtis Silwa was asked if he felt okay with losing and contributing to Zohran Mamdani’s victory and he responded by laying into Bill Ackman and Andrew Cuomo.

This woman’s first amendment rights are being trashed.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

it is far better to be in a country with a mass visible protest movement than one without it

Exclusive: Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call this week with President Trump demanded that Kyiv surrender full control of Donetsk, a strategically vital region in eastern Ukraine, as a condition for ending the war.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

I took a break at a souvlaki place and was eavesdropping on reports on a cop's radio. The front of the march was hitting the end at 14th street while there were still people entering at 47th.

#NoKings Cincinnati

I'm in Hays, Kansas on a tour of the towns in the district where I'm running for Congress. After our speeches and hearing from the people here we're heading out to our local NK. Red states are full of people who want better for their neighbors and their country.

I personally am going to continue to disagree with the pundits who said that the pardon of Hunter Biden was going to be a major issue in the 2028 election cycle

MAGA folks don’t understand that the culture of Bluesky involves everyone just blocking people they don’t like without any engagement. They think they’re “shadowbanned” by some unseen force from above.

Potatoes (a main ingredient in both the “traditional” Sunday roast and fish & chips) only arrived in the British Isles from South America around the 1580s, & didn’t catch on as a popular food until the late 18th century; which is also about the same time curry arrived in the UK

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Weirdly fun to block the White House

Have a feeling ICE gear is gonna be collected in a few decades by the same people who collect Hitler’s spoons

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Newly relevant.

Karoline Leavitt should resign. They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind. It's sick.

They call this their “small-government, big-lunch’” group photo.

to be fair, some of them view sections of their base the same way...

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press
