The DC Subway Slinger, Sean Charles Dunn, has been found not guilty of assaulting Trump regime thugs. Another legal loss for the regime.

Dunn shouted “fascists”, “racists” and chanted “shame” toward a group of regime fascists who were intimidating and harassing Latin patrons outside a night club.

They need to do the David and Victoria Beckham meme with this.

Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole.

Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, the light emitted shone with the brightness of 10 trillion suns. https://cnn.it/3WFwNNN

There are no words for how evil this is

This is what a New Era looks like.

Instructions from the US Army for places US soldiers can get food from German food banks.

The US Army was telling active duty soldiers to get food from food banks in Germany. They removed it.

WE aren't socialist, but certainly willing to mooch off other nations socialist programs.

PATHETIC.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Not Everything Can Be An Emergency Tomorrow’s argument before SCOTUS is about far more than Trump’s illegal tariffs

Ever since day one of his second term, Trump has used ‘national emergencies’ to bypass Congress and rule by decree. This week, the Supreme Court will weigh in, and if it sides with him, the decision could pave the way for unchecked presidential power and a slide toward autocratic rule in the U.S.

I’ve been offline writing something nearly all day and I am in TEARS reading this @mollyroberts.bsky.social recap of the Sandwich Guy trial 😂

We’re back to the sandwich video. The paper, the defense points out, is still on. “You don’t see there’s mustard on it?” “You can’t tell there’s ketchup on it?” Mayonnaise? Lettuce? Tomato? “In fact, that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all?” Witness says the sandwich “looks bent and out of shape.”

Lettuce pray for the defendant, who is in quite a pickle

A tweet from Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) quotes Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA): “‘I wish they would have got up and walked out of the damn room,’ Sen. Mark Warner says of his Republican colleagues who received a classified briefing from the Trump administration on U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats, while Democrats were excluded. ‘My Republican colleagues, many of them afterwards said, “Oh yeah, that was not really good,” Warner says. ‘Everyone knows partisanship should not be involved in these national security matters, particularly when we are putting our soldiers and sailors in harm’s way.’” Below is a screenshot of Warner speaking on Face the Nation.

We need a functioning Republican Party that believes in Congressional oversight, not whatever this is they have become.

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump just threw a late-night tantrum over an advertisement created by the Canadian province of Ontario, which featured Ronald Reagan’s REAL words expressing his dislike of tariffs. Trump says that, as a result, all trade negotiations with Canada are “HEREBY TERMINATED.”

RESIST!

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

Jane Goodall: A Life in Pictures The primatologist gained scientific acclaim for her work with chimpanzees and then later used her fame to champion conservation.

Jane Goodall died on Wednesday at 91 after a life spent revolutionizing the study of primates and then bringing her global fame to the cause of conservation.

Here are snapshots from her life and career.

The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened:
 
1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills.
 
2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us.
 
3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess.

The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

Trump has turned the Justice Department into a weapon for his personal vengeance, plain and simple.
