Fools Lightly

I won't be convinced she didn't win. The mafia boss in the oval is pretty much capable of anything evil.

He's a
Monster

I sure would support this. Even with higher taxes.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Weak’: Hayes says Trump’s ‘third term’ fantasy is just MAGA faking strength

Chris Hayes breaks down how Trump’s talk of a third term is less about actual power and more about MAGA projecting strength while facing historically low approval, economic turmoil, and political weakness.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

The mindset of too many old white men makes them obnoxious, irrelevant, and functionally obsolete. The worst part is that they'll never recognize that the best thing they can do for everyone on earth is to shut the fuck up and quietly disappear.

Have you considered that "his aunt is actually his older cousin" is the funniest grasping at straws you've ever seen from the right-wing media

States

Reminder:

Those “forces” Trump worries about will be American patriots.

The United States Constitution Article I, Section 5, Clause 4:

> "Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

The Senate has been in session.

The United States Constitution Article I, Section 5, Clause 4:

> "Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting

💙 Absolute Brilliance 💙

This is so fucked up.

The United States Constitution Article I, Section 5, Clause 4:

“Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress.

But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Shameful.

In 1985, John Travolta and Princess Diana danced in the East Wing of the White House, in what the "University of My Eyeballs" calls a ballroom.

Reminder: We already had a ballroom. On November 9, 1985, at a gala hosted by the Reagans, Princess Diana & John Travolta danced to the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
