New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

A tweet from George Conway (@gtconway3d) says: “To boo @realDonaldTrump is to show respect for office he holds and the Constitution he continually trashes.” It’s replying to Kelly McCarty, who had written: “I don’t care if they don’t like Trump, but have some damn respect for the President of the United States and our men and women in uniform. This is sick.”

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

YouTube video by Jim Acosta BOMBSHELL: "If It Was Anybody Else, We'd Arrest Him Tomorrow" - FBI Expert on Trump revealed

🚨 The "Arrest Him Tomorrow" Moment: After the Mar-a-Lago raid on August 8, 2022, FBI agents recovered highly classified documents—some so sensitive that even national security experts with top clearances couldn't view them. That night, Assistant Attorney General Matt Olson asked his team: "What do

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

We know that if the tables were flipped, the media would unanimously call this a "red wave" and a huge referendum on the sitting Dem president. Would be the dominant story for months.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

The country we fought our independence against because of their oppressive monarchy has done a better, more public, dare I say more noble job of holding a former prince accountable for Epstein connections than we have our own *president.

We traded their king for a worse one.

A beautiful black cat, the quintessential black cat. Never has there been a black cat, more black cat shaped than this black cat. He is standing on his hind legs with his paws on my knees, wearing a blue science officer, Star Trek shirt, and looking up with wide clear round eyes. The carpet beneath him makes it look like he has a little halo and he might as well.

Every so often I repost this photo of Darwin to prove he is the most perfect little man (see alt for more)

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Secretary Kristi Noem said Operation Midway Blitz will continue on Halloween, rejecting Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s request to pause ICE enforcement he says “There is no justification for the terror that these federal agents are inflicting on children.”

The funny thing about growing up in Southern California is that you see people on TV wearing like coats and cute hats and scarves and it just seems like seasonal costumes.

And then you go to Scotland and go “fuck me but the gloves are 1000% necessary”.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Former chair of the Tennessee libertarian party 👇🏽

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

…

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.

Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

The war zone in Portland was getting out of control at the ICE facility last night.
