Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective. 1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT. 2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim. 3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media. Drop CBS permanently.

He plays with toy soldiers while the military industrial complex stands to make billions on contracts for “battleships” which will never be made.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Read this. Then read it again.

This is one of those “support the troops” moments. It’s not about bumper stickers and flyovers at NFL games. It’s about not sending young men and women into an illegitimate war. Speak up, rise up if you can.

It would be amazing if the people in charge had an idea how healthcare works.

This Wall Street Journal headline is what major American media have become: a sick joke. Trump says Rob Reiner was asking to be stabbed to death because he didn't support Trump. WSJ sane-washes that into plain old "criticism" of Reiner. The media are killing our country with this normalization.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

JFC These preventive treatments have been a game changer in pediatrics. Ever sit with a family by the bedside of an infant gasping for air? Ever tried to decide when it’s time to move that that child to a ventilator? Makary, Prassad, and Høeg certainly haven’t.

Yet he supports policies which lead to the exact opposite. You can’t wish affordable good food and safe neighborhoods in which kids can run around into existence.

Patients are not, nor should ever be, free market consumers.

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

Also, and not for nothing, I have zero idea how much my services cost.

Ogles too

Do liberal-run cities have a fentanyl problem? We asked the internet's biggest drug trafficker, Ross Ulbricht, who is now a free man after being pardoned by Trump.

Pumpkins will be decorating porches tomorrow as we enjoy Halloween. They come to us thanks to workers like these NY state farm workers who were harvesting these heavy pumpkins last Friday in the rain. #WeFeedYou

“.. You’ve got to really hate Halloween ‒ and children ‒ to pull that kind of crap.” @usatoday.com @rexhuppke.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

During 2028 campaigns,* when Americans are sicker, life expectancy is shorter, health care insurance is out of reach, and more families are devastated by medical debt, we will blame immigrants and not the reckless health influencers who are in charge. #HealthCare #SurgeonGeneral #CDC #CMS

The 1920s “immigration reform” the VP cited tonight, in this reply to a south Asian woman, was devised by Anglo bigots to all but stop the historic wave of Eastern and Southern Europeans — Jews, Italians, Slavs, Greeks etc www.amazon.com/Guarded-Gate...

Rupert Murdoch-owned @thetimes.com of London completely fabricates a hit piece on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , gets called out by former mayor Deblasio — then deletes it.🤔

This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWAw...

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

“I’ve never seen more active propaganda coming from the federal government,” said WBEZ reporter Chip Mitchell. “When I’ve seen something with my own eyes and then I see a completely different characterization coming from the spokesperson in Washington … it’s hard to know how to respond to that.”

This headline requires more details than this. It’s a grossly political action by a Republican president against democratic voters. Don’t pretend it’s somehow normal. Good grief.

People in one of the richest parts of Chicago’s North Side scream at federal agents who were detaining a Hispanic worker today - “Fuckin cowards! Fuckin Nazis!” - and chant at them to “LET HIM GO!”

This is fucked

Per Dr. Oz, and in case you didn’t know, the goal of the American health system is to get you the f*ck back to work and add value to the GDP.

2023: Gov. Bill Lee signs record tax break for corporations 2024: Lee signs new record tax giveaway for corporations ($2B most of which went out of state) 2025, Jan: Lee signs $1.1B voucher handout to private school parents 2025, Oct: Lee says state can’t afford to feed kids

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Exactly the sort of approach described by a Border Patrol leader to @chipmitchell1.bsky.social of @wbez.org in downtown Chicago last weekend

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during Ronald Reagan’s term.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War. “The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Donald Trump is putting cruelty over care. No part of Illinois will be untouched by these cuts that impact mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and infectious disease prevention programs. Ultimately, his actions will generate larger expenses in the long run.
