🤣🤣 “The amount of cookies I’ve watched the Cookie Monster waste with his bullshit chewing makes me sick.”

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money?

It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

Opinion | Burnin’ Down the House

Trump’s talent is finding wormholes in the system that he can exploit for his own satisfaction or financial gain — things not specifically outlawed because it never occurred to the founders or anyone else that a lowlife could rise so high.

Hostile foreign power

Angry Staffer on X with a picture of today's destruction of the East Wing writing, "the White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it's even worse today."

Good God.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Thomas Jefferson himself designed the White House’s East Colonnade; that’s how obscene Trump’s wrecking crew’s actions are. (Hartmann)

Opinion | There’s a Reason Trump Fears No Kings

‘Roughly one in 50 Americans gathered under one slogan (“No Kings!”) to protest against the president’s authoritarian methods.’
Mr. Bouie also nicely juxtaposes Obama’s response to the Tea Party demonstrations with Trump’s ‘No Kings’ response.

Trump Empowers Election Deniers, Still Fixated on 2020 Grievances

Terrifying.

Election deniers who are ‘dismantling systems built to secure voting, raising fears that he aims to seize authority over elections ahead of next year’s midterms.’

On Trump’s federalization of National Guard troops in Portland…

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Thousands in Eugene, Oregon.

I’m old enough to remember when it was a scandal to say that a portion of your opponents were “deplorable.” This seems a lot worse?

Several News Outlets Reject Pentagon’s Reporting Restrictions

Thank you NPR, New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, (Newsmax!) The Washington Post and The Atlantic for standing up to these ridiculous fascists.

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

Opinion | Trump Disgraces American Justice

Trump forced the resignation of the prosecutor who found that there was not enough evidence to bring charges against Ms. James. Then he demanded that Bondi appoint Lindsey Halligan, a Trump ally and insurance lawyer who had never prosecuted a case.

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

Another way for the Manchurian Cantaloupe to waste our money…

“Administration officials are making sure the shutdown doesn’t affect their own priorities. They have prioritized the $20 billion bailout of Argentina’s failing economy. Construction of Trump’s ballroom in place of the East Wing of the White House will also continue during the shutdown.”

These Democrats voted with Republicans to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance:

Senator Catherine Cortez Mats of Nevada
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Angus King, the Maine independent who caucuses with Dems

Opinion | The Real Stakes of the Shutdown

“In effect, Mr. Trump’s position is that Democrats must either support his plans to slash important public services, or else he will slash important public services.”
