Same old tired republican tricks.

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.

Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.

63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.

Here is an ABC7 report on the ICE or Federal agents arresting three US citizens in Evanston, Illinois yesterday, October 31st, 2025.

See post above for videos taken by residents who witnessed the events.

After killing 24 Iraqi civilians, a group of US Marines was put on trial. But no one served a day in prison An attack on civilians by US Marines during the Iraq War sparks outrage and a war crimes trial, but in the end, no one is held accountable.

President George W. Bush promised accountability for the alleged war crime.

There were prosecutions and a trial, but in the end, nobody served a day behind bars.

I guess if your goal is to make a bunch of money as a snake oil salesman, you might as well let AI make the snake oil for you.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

The Trump administration has fully adopted the Russian disinformation model of communication. There’s simply no facts outside of the administration. It’s just a matter of time until the country experiences a mass psychotic break.

Sen. Tina Smith: “Donald Trump clearly has the authority to keep SNAP funding during this shutdown. He is just refusing to do it…Americans should not be forced by this President to choose between health care and food.”

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.

You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

TRUMP IS WITHOLDING BILLIONS IN FOOD ASSISTANCE FOR KIDS, SENIORS, VETERANS & THE DISABLED

SHAME ON HIM!

If Trump can walk away with a minimum of a Million dollars a day for himself that’s a win. Self preservation is his only guiding light.

Trump and his cronies are trying to erase the history of January 6th. We won't let them.

Trump’s speech yesterday to American troops — seeking to justify the use of lethal force against anyone suspected of acting illegally, domestic or foreign — is his clearest statement yet about what’s really motivating him. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just-announced-his-police-state

Mike Johnson won’t bring the House back to DC because it would expose how deeply divided Republicans are. MTG is just the tip of the iceberg.

ICE is the enemy within, not the undocumented, not “liberals” not the lgbtq+ community, not POC, Muslims, Jews, or any of you… it’s 🧊

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History "The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Just days after I warned in TIME about the authoritarian playbook to defund the arts and rewrite history, the White House fired the entire Fine Arts Commission—6 members who review presidential construction projects, including Trump’s new ballroom. This isn’t coincidence. It’s confirmation.
