This is Trump's Great Gatsby themed Halloween Party at Mar-A-Lago.

He's living his best life while millions of Americans face hunger.

Although they voted for him, not one raggedy-toothed MAGA was invited.

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops.

If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

Billy Graham’s grandson, a former prosecutor, has written about this. He believes the problem is likely worse in the protestant church, but there is no way to prove it because of lack of centralization.

centralization actually aided discovery because of paper trails. Many of these protestant denominations have no hierarchy, so these abusers just disappear and pop up at a new church.

Trump cuts have decimated the federal addiction and mental health agency The Trump administration has dismantled big chunks of the federal agency focused on mental health and addiction treatment, reducing its staff by more than half

"The cuts are especially noteworthy because they have occurred under the watch of [RFKjr], who speaks frequently about his own recovery from addiction to alcohol and heroin and has identified the country’s substance use crisis as a major priority." www.statnews.com/2025/10/30/s...

seemingly, without making a ripple in the new cycle, MSNBC reporting yesterday that schools in Chicago have moved to indoor recess because of ICE presence and use of chemical weapons.

this country has failed children at every given opportunity.

The White House and other government entities are joining Bluesky as I type. That will bring a new group to bsky that many have not dealt w before. Don't engage, just block their asses. Give them no oxygen, starve them out.

RFKjr gave orders to Dr. Susan Monarez for her not to speak to US Senators. He put a gag order on the senate-confirmed CDC director. Scream this story from every rooftop. Impeach and remove RFKjr.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."

The Roberts Court is overtly devoted, as a matter of judicial and political philosophy, to supporting the policy agenda of Donald Trump. These are DISCRETIONARY rulings - the Court is ruling, repeatedly and usually without explanation, that EQUITY requires that Trump’s agenda advance.

Woody Allen is also in the Epstein birthday card book so uh, this tracks pretty well with what we know about people who find common cause with Russia

Incorrect.

The Base of the Democratic Party is Black women, at 92% last election.

White people haven't been The Base since the 60s. When Civil Rights were enacted.

The Base is who votes the most consistently. And we white people statistically vote Republican or don't vote AT ALL.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

NEW: After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison.

They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

Trump is trying to extend his pardon power into the state criminal process by threatening retaliation against state officials who don’t pardon his supporters!

The department of labor released July job numbers

73,000 jobs added

01.08.2025 13:19 β€” πŸ‘ 87    πŸ” 24    πŸ’¬ 11    πŸ“Œ 16

Unsurprising bad jobs report. Just 73,000 added in July, and most of those were health care.

Even worse, May and June jobs numbers revised down by 258,000. Awful.

Companies don't want to create jobs in Trump's chaos economy with weakening rule of law and rampant corruption.

The revisions are BRUTAL. May dropped from +144K to just +19K. June? From +147K to +14K.

Excluding healthcare, the U.S. LOST jobs for three straight months: down 53K in May, 45K in June, and 300 in July.

The U.S. lost 26K manufacturing jobs in May and June, and 11K in July.
