Hamina, hamina, hamina…

I wonder why drumpf doesn’t just order his gqp toadies in the senate to just repeal the filibuster and pass their CR and every other piece of regressive legislation? Or does he not know they could do that tomorrow with a simple majority vote?

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

She’s obviously a proud alumni of trump university.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.

Cheryl L. Mason - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs The Honorable Cheryl L. Mason was confirmed by the Senate as the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on July 31, 2025. She was sworn

Cheryl L. Mason is the VA IG. She should be asked about it.

How some veterans exploit $193 billion VA program, due to lax controls The Department of Veterans Affairs spends billions on dubious and even fraudulent disabilities benefits. Meanwhile, some deserving cases wait.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

This country elected Donald Trump as a retaliation against the first Black president, and then elected him again despite his many many crimes against America. There is no path out of this divide because racism is the one thing white American cherish the most.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

I asked a couple of weeks ago “What does Trump really want?” The responses on that thread were fascinating.

The most salient point about Trump is that there is no point. He does not think like a normal human. He’s a very disturbed person.

He’s consumed with narcissism & anger. He lacks love.

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.

Every time I hear this stupid remark I always ask the person if killing 2-3 million Vietnamese people for no vital American interest was worth it? How many should we have killed? 5, 10, 20 million? They (the Vietnamese) fought for unification and independence. The US should have heeded Kennan.

Outstanding. I loved it. TY Bill, you made my day. 🤪

The regime can produce zero footage of anything wrong. It simply lies because it is insecure and weak and hateful, and lives in fear of being exposed. So it sends armed brutes to project power. It also never faces real accountability. We must never back down. The fight is never over. They will fall.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

Exactly correct. drumpf learned all his tactics from Roy Cohn: never admit error, always deny and lie, and project. RW media follows the same playbook.

I think Fox News showed some old videos of George Floyd protests and Trump took it as current news. And nobody's talking him out of it. And even if they did try, Trump will never back down, he always doubles down, no matter how wrong he is.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Dave Chappelle. Pete Davidson. Kevin Hart. Bill Burr. Some of the biggest names in American comedy are performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, an event organized by the Saudi government.

“It’s easier to talk here than it is in America,” Chappelle quipped.

I’ll never watch any of them again.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

The Russian drones operations reveal two things that Europeans seem unable to admit to themselves. The first is that they are unwilling/incapable of stopping these operations and seem helpless to keep them from multiplying. The second is that the US government doesnt care and will not help Europe.

So Mike Johnson just told members of the House to stay home until 10/14.

He *really* doesn’t want to swear in Grijalva and face that vote on the Epstein files.

This *also* means the government will be shut down for another ten days at least.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

We have seen behavior and tactics like ICE previously in our nation’s history- they are the modern day slave catchers.

Health care subsidies for more than 20 million are on the chopping block because the people in charge refused to extend them and gave tax breaks to billionaires instead.

THAT is what this government shutdown is about.
