Otters with hats again, for no reason other than otters in hats!

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

Teaching a baby otter to swim:

Rosen: And on Halloween weekend, in the middle of a shutdown where they’re defunding SNAP, where children will go hungry—millions of them—they are gluttonously eating and partying and laughing at their voters, laughing at what they can do to screw the American people.

#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Napocalypse Now Republicans worship a guy who face-planted into dreamland during a press conference on dementia.

Mainstream media would have lost their fucking minds if Joe Biden was sleeping/passed out in his chair in the Oval Office.

It sounds just like one of his stupid ideas. But no way he wrote that.

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Republicans are forcing air traffic controllers and Tsa to resign going into the holidays. These Republicans are nothing but scum.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @mluckovichajc)

Makes more sense now

I won't buy and will actively avoid anything Elon Musk has his grubby hands in. He is a mean spirited ratbag.

And he just woke up from taking a nap.
Seriously he looks barely alive.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump looking away from a man in need should be the portrait for his second term youtu.be/vtP8GvdDzcE?...

This coming from a party that followed Dutton into oblivion!!
Dutton....seriously? I'm not a Susssan fan but she's barely been in the job 9 months.

From MeidasTouch: Today in Crazyland (Oval Office) you had Dr.Oz talking about lowering a weight loss pill so that people will lose 153 billion pounds so they can have "Trump" babies. You had a guest pass out & collapse on the floor. Finally the Convicted FElon totally fell asleep for half of it.

Holy shit this photo!!!

And Jesus said, thou shall not feed the poor and the hungry from your bounty because you must build ballrooms with lots of gold to honor the Lord while remaining liquid in case Argentina needs another bailout. - Book of Trump, 11:06. bsky.app/profile/atru...

40 billion to Argentina.

40 billion.

BIG WIN: The Trump Administration was ordered today to immediately release all the SNAP food benefits they've withheld during the government shutdown.

Californians are beginning to see benefits on their CalFresh cards now.

TRUMP: “Our groceries are way down (not true). Everything is way down (not true). Thanksgiving meals 25% down (not true). So I don't want to hear about affordability.”

He’s trying to lie his way through it.
He thinks we are all morons. 🤥

Collins: When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that?

Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.

Jeanine Pirro bragging in August that she just arrested Sandwich Guy and was going to teach him a lesson in court.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.
