Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

"unnecessary", not "necessary"

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Care to share your recipe?
In addition to buttermilk, I have over time switch to half whole wheat and added chia seeds to the recipe for additional health benefit. Real maple syrup, not like that imitation stuff! I tried buckwheat this summer wasn't bad but I'm not convinced.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

To expand on my last two posts; When Jesus said, "Love one another as I have loved you." he did not say, except for those you do not like, or those you see as different, or those you cannot tolerate. "Love one another as I have loved you." is a commandment. No exceptions.

Ok, so like, everyone does realize that his brain confused “seeking asylum” for “insane asylum” and he just stuck with it, right?

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Why beef prices are higher than ever (and shoppers are finally resisting) American ranchers are raising the fewest cows in decades. Through the price increases, American shoppers have stayed loyal to their love of burgers and steaks — until now.

America's beef cattle herd is the smallest in 75 years, in part because of drought. Beef imports are also down, because of tariffs.
Unsurprisingly, beef prices are at record highs www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

this is the shit i want to see

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

it’s disappointing the extent to which literature appears to not transfer morals very well, given that most Americans will read books in school that have the message “do not create the apocalyptic torture country“ and they apparently just don’t pick it up

This is incredibly silly. Of course he did. What even is the alternate theory of the case? You're not obligated to treat it as some kind of seriously open question just because Trump denies it.

For your situational awareness.

Rand Paul on Trump striking a Venezuelan boat and killing 11 people: "You might ask the question, where does it end? Are we the world's policemen? Are we gonna be blowing people up off the coast all around the world? ... is it really the constitutional duty of our government?"

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy.

I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

It's so gross that he gets to say this stuff unchallenged.

It was never true and he has just kept on repeating it.

We now live in bizarrro world where gun control is bad but military occupation of U.S. cities as a solution to gun crime is good.

Make it make sense.

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong.

Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that?

The interview is more incriminating, not less.

Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty?

Ferguson: Yes

Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview.

Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking.

Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?

i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass

Finding this was the highlight of my day, thank you 🙂

a sarcastic Bernie Sanders: "Why not? When you get bad news, fire the guy who delivered the news. I think that's sensible policy."
