Obama: "The economy has been really good for some of Trump's billionaire friends. It's been good for some finance bros and well-connected corporations who have seen their tax bill go down. But for ordinary families, costs have not gone down, they've gone up."

But now she has 175 million dollars worth of private jets so problem solved.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Trump Boat Bombings Worsen as New Horror Shakes Experts: “Alarm Bells” Remember the Southern Command admiral who resigned two weeks ago? Hill Republicans haven’t heard from him—and they don’t apparently want to.

"Trump’s autocratic takeover depends on 'complicity, collaboration, and cowardice of congressional Republicans.' The GOP failure to exercise oversight on Trump’s bombings is allowing his consolidation of authoritarian power to balloon exponentially and dangerously."

The scariest thing you’ll see all Halloween. No costume needed. 🎃

“Takaichi was elected…” by LDP parliament/party members, not by popular vote.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

🚨Matt Waltz, Ambassador to the UN, is called OUT during a General Assembly by Cuba’s Foreign Minister! 🚨 Sound ⬆️. 1/2

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?”

The non-military version of "stolen valor."

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

I had a spare t-shirt cartoon.

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

“He’s absolutely right about the botched (Brexit) deal of the last government, the damage that’s done to our economy and we’re just seeing some of the figures coming through in relation to that. That’s one of the factors behind how they crashed the economy”

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.🤔

Checking in on the “ceasefire”

These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist i

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common?

They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

"After more than a decade of engaging in shameless bothsidesism, whataboutism, and fanatical, greed-driven appeals to far-right eyeballs, America’s corporate, legacy media appears poised to fall victim to the grave, fascist threat it helped bring about"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

"What began as a modest workplace amenity for public servants has metastasized into a taxpayer-funded citadel of privilege."

Just had to fast forward a podcast because two Americans were whining. <- Fixed it for you. You’re welcome 🙇🏻‍♂️🤣

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

For an administration that came out of the box threatening Canadian independence, Greenland’s sovereignty, the Panama Canal, etc., it sure has a glass jaw. 🤡

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?
