HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

ICE thugs.

WTF 🤬

A police officer in Baltimore, Maryland, attempted to run over and kill a civilian who refused to answer their questions.

Fired for thinking a dangerous nut is not above the law?

But if you don't make a shrine to Charlie Kirk in your living room, you can be arrested?

These prosecutors were fired because Jan 6 rioters were acting *for* Trump--and Donald would have been pleased to see Obama and his family killed.

It is all ONE BIG SCAM!!!

From the Bank's detailed analysis (their "MPR") this morning, they estimate that the U.S. trade policy changes (up to Oct 22) will make Canada's economy ~1.5% smaller than it would otherwise be. That's large (roughly $1.1k per capita!). www.bankofcanada.ca/publication... #cdnecon

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

"No one is above the law" should never be spewed by any maga republican ever again.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

Our golden age has just begun!

Never forget!

Reportedly slept under a portrait of Hitler…🙄

But he’s just a zany scientist, right?

Keir Starmer's failure to stand up to this man is a cowardly and suicidal calamity

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

Even Grok gets it. Federal workers aren’t living large, they’re just surviving. Like most Americans they’re one missed paycheck away from the edge.

When rent, food, and gas eat your whole check, there’s nothing left to save.

PS- this dude’s a jerk.

LOL -- Trump is now claiming he's about to secure 21 TRILLION DOLLARS of investments so far in his second term. His fake number keeps going up and up almost daily, and the entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so yeah, he's full of it.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION

(not a typo)

The £1 oyster: cut-price shellfish is all the rage – but is eating it advisable? There are oyster happy hours and influencers who have been known to eat 70 in a single sitting. Millennials are going mad for molluscs and it seems nothing can hold them back

The £1 oyster: cut-price shellfish is all the rage – but is eating it advisable?

Let this sink in…

“At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.”

📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. She was elected more than a month ago.

Keir Starmer, "Shocking racism (from Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin) and it's the sort of thing that will tear our country apart"

"And it tells you everything about Reform UK"

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

U.S. to photograph Canadian travellers when they enter and exit at all land borders, airports | CBC News The United States is expanding its facial identification program for travellers, with the goal of collecting images of non-U.S. citizens entering and exiting the country by all modes of transport.

Add in risk of gender-neutral ident. on passport, fingerprints, tracking social media posts or writings (like papers/books) or art critical of the orange hemorrhoid and suddenly we're persona non grata. Sorry friends and family, see you next when your Pres. is a sane one.

Look, here’s another Tory with no shame. Liz Truss’s pet Chancellor who almost bankrupted the country and caused misery for millions. Rather than doing the decent thing, he’s on TV again criticising the government. Fuck off Kwarteng.
