Guess which one was doing the begging because he desperately needed some bs to try and sell as a “win.”

Buckingham Palace has announced that it is removing all remaining styles, titles and honours of Prince Andrew:

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

He is also being evicted from his accommodation at Royal Lodge.

Correct action, but it should never have taken this long.

Andrew stripped of 'prince' title and will move out of Royal Lodge He will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - Buckingham Palace says

Finally, Prince Andrew is “being held accountable” if by accountable you mean losing titles and getting evicted while still keeping his wealth and freedom. It’s like grounding a billionaire: the public sees a punishment, but in reality, life goes on almost unchanged.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

IF we ever get a new President and administration, their first order of business should be to dismantle ICE. Whoever their AG is should open up immediate investigations into every single person involved with ICE, from the bounty hunters to the goons to the billionaires profiting off detentions.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

BREAKING: Senate Republicans Rebuke Trump for Third Day in a Row Good afternoon everyone.

BREAKING: For a third day in a row, Senate Republicans rebuked Donald Trump.

A major shift is emerging. Republicans are willing to rebuke Trump publicly and privately.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

Trump’s new Time cover, drew comparisons to a 1963 portrait of Nazi industrialist Alfred Krupp. The Daily Beast called it “chilling,” noting its visual language mirrors one of the 20th century’s most psychologically charged magazine images.

MAGA logic:

Give billionaires tax breaks,
Make small biz pay their subsidies
Complain when healthcare costs explode.

Truly 4D chess.

The billionaires thank you for paying their taxes and premiums.

@eddystcclair.bsky.social absolutely correct!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

TIME Photo Secretly Subverts Trump Cover With Nazi Reference - NewsBreak President Donald Trump’s latest TIME magazine cover owes its visual language to one of the most chilling portraits of the 20th century, the Daily Beast has

TIME’s latest cover of Trump, shot by Stephen Voss, mirrors Arnold Newman’s 1963 portrait of Nazi war criminal Alfried Krupp. Trump’s forward-leaning power pose evokes a menacing tone, suggesting unsettling parallels despite TIME denying intentional reference.

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't happen.

“Today Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker established the “Illinois Accountability Commission” to compile evidence against federal agents who have harassed, intimidated, brutalized, and detained American citizens and legal residents in Illinois.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

For the Military, a Shutdown Is About a Lot More Than Just Pay It also affects many other people, institutions, and services necessary for readiness.

"Without the civilian workforce, commanders couldn’t move tanks to a maneuver location, manipulate targets on a range, provide fuel for the force, or food in the mess halls."

Democratic Wins Media (@demwinsmedia) BREAKING: New York AG Letitia James just launched a public portal where residents can upload photos and videos of ICE operations for “investigation.” Genius.

Letitia James is a genius!

Very concerning, if true.

This is fascism….. we have to fight back…

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
