on Friday — while millions of Americans were going without paychecks, wondering how they were going to pay their skyrocketing insurance premiums, and struggling to feed their families — some fucking idiot bragged about having inflicted his terminally vulgar lack of taste onto the White House’s Lincoln Bathroom.

AVERAGE AMERICANS CAN'T PAY THEIR BILLS, BUT ALL DONNY CARES ABOUT HIS IS GAUDY NEW BATHROOM. "LET THEM EAT GOLDEN TOILETS," AM I RIGHT? SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY. I COVER THIS AND ALL THE OTHER DUMBFUCKERY THAT HAPPENED IN MY "THIS WEEK IN STUPID," WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE, THANK YOU: bit.ly/4nwBvIw

It's the 28th day of the government shutdown.

Trump has fled the country.

Speaker Mike Johnson won’t convene the House.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune refuses to allow a vote on food stamps.

This is Republican leadership.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Texas, County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

The White House East Wing didn’t fall—it got vibed out of existence. Trump’s building a ballroom fit for his ego, bulldozing history for a disco ball. In this week’s Elephant in the Room, Rick drags the Trump ballroom demolition 2025 mess:

Then I’d like the government to write me a check for the amount I paid in, with interest. We need to file a class action suit or something!

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Absolutely correct @andrewjweinstein.com

He absolutely should. Once again Newsom is the grown up in the room. 😍

How embarrassing for him…glad this is documented so history can remember him.

Trump's threats of martial law are bringing us closer to his hellish dream of dictatorship, and we cannot be complacent. Watch the LP Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCHRSOlzf64

The man in charge of our nations health thinks foreskins cause autism and babies come out of the placenta.

For today’s lesson:

This is ANTIFA legend Audie Murphy..

Seen by many as the “1st ambassador of Anti-Fascists”

He was the most decorated soldier EVER to fight in WW2, he earned 33 medals, the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star & 3 Purple Hearts.

Today, he’d be a terrorist..

It's Nobel to protect democracy.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

🤮 When she was a governor, Kristi Noem supplemented her income with funds routed to her company Ashwood Strategies, a Delaware LLC that shares a name with one of her horses‼️

Koh: This is an AG who is taking orders via dm and is trying to save her job because Trump’s upset about what's happening with the Epstein files. That's what this is all about.

Have the Trump psychotics found the leader of antifa yet? Are they aware that Gen Eisenhower, that noted anti-fascist, is no longer with us and can’t be arrested? Perhaps they can dig up Winston Churchill & bring him to ICE HQ?

While Dear Leader is crowing about the purported peace deal in Gaza, this morning Netanyahu is launching more attacks in the hopes of killing some more children before the deal is finalized.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Stephen Miller straight up murdered people in those boats off the coast of Venezuela and this is their attempt to make it legal.

Can anyone say tariffs...

No Dollars for Dictatorship Americans must stand against Trump’s shutdown agenda.

"Trump wanted this shutdown. This isn’t speculation — it’s strategy... Russ Vought, has openly embraced using a shutdown to permanently fire tens if not hundreds of thousands of public servants". Read @joetrippi.bsky.social on why this shutdown is different: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/no-dollars...

Susan Collins voted to SHUT DOWN the government. The people of Maine should know who sold them out and why

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: Disaster in Chief Day 2

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: How many flashes of insanity from a president should we tolerate? youtu.be/JH0uvJsdVJM?...

This is fantastic! Sad but true.

ACCURATE AF.
