Enough! The rules no longer apply, so let's end this shit!! Any evidence you are a bot/MAGA or misogynist and you'll be blocked. Donor requests, as well.

YouTube video by MSNBC Walz CHALLENGES Trump: Find a farmer who thinks this is okay

Gov. Tim Walz to Trump as his β€œman-made” crisis crushes American farmers: "Find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say, 'This is okay.' Just three, anywhere in America. I challenge you to do that, because you're not going to find them.”

Arizona attorney general threatens legal action against Mike Johnson for failing to seat Adelita Grijalva The Democrat accused Johnson of playing β€œpolitical games” by delaying the swearing-in ceremony.

β€œArizona’s right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate and may not be delayed or used as leverage in negotiations about unrelated legislation”

- Kris Mayes, AZ Atty General

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming β€” no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

He keeps saying this, even though Jack Smith didn't join the classified docs case until a few months after the raid.

But since he keeps doing this on Fox News, where they are on the same team, he won't get called out on it.

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

The Supreme Court Might Net Republicans 19 Congressional Seats in One Fell Swoop On Wednesday, the justices will take the extraordinary step of rehearing Louisiana v. Callais.

NEW: Tomorrow the Supreme Court will rehear a case that could let the GOP grab 19 new, safe U.S. House seats by gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

I wrote for @slate.com about how the far-right justices seem ready to help Republicans lock in one party rule for a generation.

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Uh... so he's openly trying to rig a foreign election for a friend of his and a friend of his top donorβ€”Muskβ€”by saying that Argentinians will only get $20 billion dollars in American aid if they vote for Milei?

So this money Trump is stealing from US taxpayers is not to help Argentina, but his pal?

14.10.2025 22:19 β€” πŸ‘ 394    πŸ” 190    πŸ’¬ 32    πŸ“Œ 10

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.
