Inventive People of Portland Dressing as Animals:

Please don't dress as dogs. Your life will not be safe with psychopath Kristi Noem on the rooftops.

💯 Thank you, @ramirez.house.gov for standing up for federal workers, the Constitution, and all Americans.

Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything.

This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business.

Republicans could end these tariffs today.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

When Russell Vought pushes something into the news on Friday night of a long weekend, is that a sign of strength — of a battle for public opinion he thinks he can win?

The people who voted for Trump didn’t think they were driving a truck over a street full of people, but in effect they were. Many, many Americans will die because of the Trump regime’s destruction of our public health system.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Breaking the law so he can endanger the nation, Russ Vought arches an eyebrow as he strokes a white Persian cat on his lap.

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Turkey’s Erdogan Says Halkbank US Case to End After Trump Talks Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said state lender Halkbank’s legal case in the US is due to be resolved following recent talks with President Donald Trump, prompting bank shares to rise.

In case anyone missed this

Erdoğa said that Trump ended Halkbank’s criminal case after talks w him. He said that Trump told him “The Halkbank problem is finished for us.”

Halkbank was helping Iran evade taxes and launder billions.

Qatar and now this. The corruption is off the charts

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Seriously.
As a public health scientist?
I cannot stress enough how poorly prepared this administration is for an ultra deadly & infectious disease like Ebola to make landfall here in the USA.
The best defense for the USA is fast resolution of an outbreak overseas.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

California has taken a historic step toward justice. With the signing of my bill SB 518, @governor.ca.gov has established the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery, making California the first state in the nation to create a permanent agency dedicated to reparative justice for Black Americans.

Thoughts and prayers to Cosplay Cop Kristi who had to brave the dogs, farmer’s markets, capybaras, and marathon runners of Portland this week.

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

It’s a free country.

Right?

Kid Rock, who clearly shops at the "Tacky Meth-heads Who Like Silly Costumes" outlet, really shouldn't open his stupid mouth to talk about how other people look.

And Laura Ingraham should never open her snarling mouth to talk about anything.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

This is absolutely disgusting

White House declines to engage Democrats as shutdown drags into second week The White House has yet to engage Democrats on ending the government shutdown, despite the potential political ramifications of the closure.

They shut down the government with a partisan plan that has us barreling toward a national health care crisis — and they won't even come to the table.

Oh, and House Republicans have been on a paid vacation for weeks. They just don't give a damn about anyone other than their billionaire buddies.

Trump and Stephen Miller want us afraid, but we’re not backing down. We will see you in the streets on October 18: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.
