It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight.

Happy Halloween, NYC.

"The goal of these programs is to move families into real work," the Republicans say during the Republican shutdown, as the Republican-run House enters its sixth week of getting paid for not working and the Republican president blows millions on his god-awful Epstein Ballroom.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

I already knew, but the Nazi tattoo thing really hammers home that a lot of folks that identify as democrats just don’t have a will or enough common sense to fight racism. Y’all, you don’t accidentally get and keep a Nazi tattoo you dingbats.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

Reagan: "It's Morning Again in America"

GHWB: "A thousand points of light"

Clinton: "A Place called Hope"/"Putting people first"

GWB: "Compassionate conservativism"

Obama: "Yes we can"

Trump: "MAGA"

Biden: "Build back better"

Harris: "We are not going back"

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

Oh weird it's an article from 2020 by some anonymous journalist predicting that exactly what's happening now with CBP would happen if DHS wasn't reigned in under Biden

I'm sure Will just have expressed the same concerns no way he ignored them entirely

🚨🇸🇩 The Blood is Visible From Space Peter Rothpletz on the genocide in Sudan, Trump’s latest weaponization of the DOJ, and 'journalists' from The Free Press wreaking havoc on both sides of the Atlantic.

"The sand in and around the city of approximately 400,000 is so caked with blood that you can see evidence of the RSF’s war crimes via satellite imagery, according to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL)."

Zeteo's Peter Rothpletz in today's First Draft morning newsletter, on Sudan:

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

Opinion | Trump's weaponizing vulgarity to alter Americans' sense of reality Trump and MAGA are attempting to rewrite history and remake reality right before our eyes — and they’re weaponizing vulgarity to do both.

OPINION by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social:

“Trump’s ‘big lie’ is, at its core, a witless tantrum thrown by a malignant narcissist who lacks the integrity to accept defeat.”

More big news: the Senate just passed my bipartisan resolution to end Trump's global tariffs. This is a huge win and shows how unpopular Trump's tariffs really are. Now it's time for Mike Johnson to abandon his 6 week vacation and get this passed in the House.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term? Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

Every member of Congress should be asked what decision they’ve made about their own pay starting on November 1.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.

2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country

Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

I'd need to know more about whether the minister shot in the face with a chemical agent from point-blank range before weighing in on it. Maybe it was good that it happened.

Gray-Lipped RFK Jr. Touts Body’s Natural Ability To Transmute Lead Into Gold

Graham Platner was viciously smeared by Graham Platner when Graham Platner posted bigoted shit under the name Graham Platner and tattooed a Nazi symbol onto poor Graham Platner.

This collusion of Graham Platner against Graham Platner is obviously a nefarious conspiracy.

We are literally ruled over by a Brothers Grimm goblin king who will do anything for a gold object

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.
