WATCH: “It’s complete bullsh*t everybody has to dress up as wins to satiate Trump’s bottomless ego.”

@rhodesben.bsky.social & Tommy point out these ‘trade deals’ & ‘peace deals’ are just Trump putting out fires he started — and the media plays right along.

Donald Trump did this 👇

The Democratic Establishment Is a Dead Man Walking Hakeem Jeffries thinks the path back to power for Democrats is focusing on “kitchen table issues,” waiting for Trump to self-destruct, and avoiding challenging Trump on his increasing constitutional v...

The Democratic establishment is managing decline, not fighting power.'

Their “focus on kitchen-table issues” strategy is donor-safe, poll-tested—and doomed.

You can’t defend democracy while depending on the wealth that captured it.

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

As of today, Adelita Grijalva has gone un-sworn-in for longer than any representative-elect this century. (Data from @greggiroux.bsky.social)

The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

In Photos: Hurricane Melissa makes landfall in Jamaica The National Hurricane Center says Jamaica should expect catastrophic damage.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

Sleepy Joe never provided for his son the way Donald Trump has smh

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

Please keep the Jamaican people your hearts due to the Hurricane.

Laugh Factory Chicago night manager taken into custody by federal agents outside club The night manager of the Chicago Laugh Factory was taken into custody by federal agents outside the North Side comedy club Friday.

The manager of the Chicago Laugh Factory, a US citizen, is arrested outside of the studio by Trump's secret police. The offense? Telling jokes about ICE that they don't like. This is what fascism looks like. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

I have been harassed by the family of my rap*st via court and threats of court. Still in debt from the events + medical bills, and after events if anyone can help it’s greatly appreciated, if you cannot help please re-share. 🩷

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Hurricane Melissa could be Jamaica's most powerful storm in history “There is nowhere that will escape the wrath of this storm,” said Evan Thompson of Jamaica’s Meteorological Service. Melissa is already blamed for four deaths.

Praying for the Jamaican people tonight.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

I was born at the children’s hospital in Washington DC

The number one lesson we have to tell EVERYONE under the age of 30 is before 2016 we didn't have to think about what was going on in the federal government every goddamn second of every goddamn day. Like the most was about 30 minutes of time eight times a month MAX and that was under Dubya.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Trump tariffs push up prices by 4.9 percentage points: Tax Foundation Trump administration officials have asserted for months that import duties will at most cause a one-time bump in inflation.

“Trump’s Tariffs have pushed up retail prices by 4.9% , the Tax Foundation said in a report.
The highest U.S. tariffs since the 1930s have led to a 6% increase in the cost of imported goods and a 4.3% increase for domestic goods”

So to be clear, the ICE fascists violently deporting 70-year-old immigrants because they allegedly forgot to check a box 15 years ago, themselves fail basic reqs so badly that the 13 week ICE training is now 6 weeks, & people with criminal records who'd otherwise be banned, are leading these raids.🤦🏽‍♂️
