“Making Sense of the Federal Forces on the Streets,” with photos of how they’re uniformed and equipped

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

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

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

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

At this point, it’s foolish to believe Republicans will actually relinquish control if they lose the House in 2026. And it’s foolish to believe Trump will leave the White House if a Democrat wins in 2028. We must prepare for the worst when it comes to Trump & his party’s attacks on our democracy.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I’ve said it often the past 10 months, but the ONLY thing that will cause many, many Americans to turn against this dishonest, ignorant, dangerous madman is pain. Economic pain. Caused directly by him. It’s too bad, but it’s gonna take real economic pain to wake lots of folks up.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Is there even a 1% chance that Trump will accept the results of a 2028 election if a Dem wins, & will not attempt to turn this country completely upside down in Nov-Dec 28, employing every means available to prevent that person from taking office?
That’s the reason for No Kings.

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

If ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.

Is it good when the commander in chief is untethered to reality?

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Mike Johnson is delaying the certification of Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona’s special election last week. This move prevents Democrats from securing the final signature needed to force a House floor vote and release the Epstein files.

Trump's second term has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

A brainworm bear roadkill eater, an insurrectionist psychopath and a TV snake-oil sommelier announce, without a shred of empirical evidence, that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism.

Get in losers, we’re grieving

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:

Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.
