Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

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.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Be smart. No panic. No violence anywhere. This regime is making its move. No it's not a warrior ethos pep rally. Portland don't take the bait.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The Rough Beast Slouches Closer A murder that brings out our best... and our absolute worst.

And, of course, Trump himself shrugged off the presidential role of Comforter in Chief and chose instead to be the Maximalist Inflamer/Divider. Again.

So they passed the One Big Awful Bill, churches can now support political candidates and not lose tax-exemption, mass deportations continue and may extend to naturalized citizens - it’s all from Project 2025! People should have read it. I fear they’ll implement the whole damn thing.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

FAA suspends work of independent panel reviewing air traffic control The FAA ordered an independent panel hired to recommend ways to strengthen oversight of its air traffic control operations to stop work.

The FAA halted the work of an outside panel of experts scrutinizing its management of air traffic control, a previously unreported move made after a fatal airliner crash near Washington raised questions about the agency’s abilities to keep the skies safe.

Clowns.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

This was great to wake up to this morning. #hope

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?

President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…

The book is called “The Jungle.”

BREAKING: Deadly H5N1 Mutation Detected in U.S. Dairy Herds Experts Warn of Rising Pandemic Risk

Scientists are alarmed by a newly identified H5N1 mutation found in four U.S. dairy cow herds, raising concerns about its potential spread.

No one ever said they were creative.

The level of crudity displayed outside the WH is truly horrifying .
How degrading.!

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Leaders of the free world stand united in London

The United States is not among them

I am so mortified and embarrassed for our country right now. What a shit show out of the WH today. To the rest of the world I say do what you need to do to protect yourselves from this mad, deranged administration. I'm so sorry President Zelensky 😞

We could have had Kamala!!! AGHHHHHH!!!!

In what world did Trump think it was a good idea to bring the sex trafficing Tate brothers into America? So we are importing criminals now?

Must be getting really weird over on truth social

There are more cases of measles than there are trans athletes in America.

Guess which one Republicans in charge are focusing on?

Zelenskyy is a warrior for democracy. Putin is a war criminal. Full stop.

Lemme get this straight...

JD Vance has a meltdown in the Oval Office because Zelenskyy points out that he's never visited Ukraine once.

Donald Trump cancels the press conference.

President Zelenskyy doesn't sign the minerals deal.

And MAGA thinks this was a win?

Clown. Show.
