At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so thereโ€™s that.

Cool! It Really Looks Like Greg Abbott is Taking Orders From Libs of TikTok Acting on the orders of notorious cesspool Libs Of TikTok, the governor bravely stands up to the menace of decorative asphalt.

Chaya Raichik, better known as Libs of TikTok, was dutifully bemoaning the fact that the city of Houston repainted a Montrose neighborhood crosswalk decked on in LGBTQ+ rainbow colors. Raichik wrote that the crosswalk โ€œmust be removed immediately.โ€

And our governor dutifully complied.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

C-SPAN caller from Missouri to Missouri Rep. Mark Alford: "I hope you, sir, as an elected official, will think of the people who are in nursing homes, their parents are in nursing homes, their Medicaid is going to be cut. What is going to happen to Missourians whose hospitals are gonna close?"

Before WW2, WW1 was called the Great War. I wonder if we will soon be calling The Civil War CW1. And, no, thatโ€™s not a C&W music station.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. Weโ€™ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Breaking: Trump plans to deploy the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, the IRS and the Treasury Department "against certain left-wing groups." The Whitehouse list includes "Indivisible, a grassroots coalition opposed to Trump policies." - Reuters


Indivisible is being targeted because it is a driving force behind No Kings Day. Now more than ever we must stand together and fight back in solidarity.

If Congress is looking for something to impeach the felon for, accepting bribes in order to give a military base to a foreign power in our country seems like a good one!

Itโ€™s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

surely the Democrats have impeachment papers at the ready for reclaiming the House.

by our calculations, trump has committed an impeachable offence every week he's been in office.

So theyโ€™re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

Federal agents arenโ€™t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesnโ€™t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
