Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Café de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint.

It shouldn't be hard at all.

Wow. Those are some powerfully ridiculous moves.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

It will nice to see Pete Hegseth tried in the Hague at some point. His mother was right about him.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

For One Day at Least, Long Live the King King Charles III shows us—but, really, congressional Republicans—what actual accountability looks like when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

"Johnson won’t swear in Grijalva. It is a reminder how much Trump doesn’t want those files released. It’s also a reminder that the Republican party is now a full co-conspirator in the coverup. Epstein has become a Republican problem, not simply a Trump problem."

Mike Johnson seems to be a bootlicking howdy doody, with depraved sycophant syndrome. Nothing says "Christian" like extra-legal killings.

If the paintings were on city owned street, FDOT had no right to order the removal of the paintings. Fort Lauderdale‘s city commission and staff challenged state overreach by getting an injunction barring the state from removing the rainbow crosswalk on the city owned street there.

It seems we have a psychopath-in-chief.

DHS is spreading disinformation and propaganda. It is lying. The Washington Post should say that in plain language. #EverythingTrumpTouchesLies

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.

The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

'You betrayed us': Manatee County residents beg for repeal of Florida' planning restriction law • Florida Phoenix BRADENTON — State lawmakers representing Manatee County heard harsh criticism on Monday regarding a law that critics maintain blocks local governments from regulating development now and for years to ...

“They voted for restoring wetland protection, and you as our senator, Jim Boyd, you really betrayed us with the passage of Senate bill 180.” floridaphoenix.com/2025/10/27/y...

A tweet from Robert Reich states: “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?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

What kind of cowards hide their faces like this? Dress-up storm troopers?

Pretty sure this is why we have a 25th Amendment.

This seems like the kind of thing the 25th Amendment was created for.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Looks like a 🖕to America.

Repugnant in every way.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

And thus, J.D. Vance tries to normalize Hitler worship as ”boys will be boys”.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Thanks, New Yorker
