And remain so angry today, and will be so angry tomorrow

No kidding.

That's why we were so angry yesterday.

Because this was obvious to the rest of us.

Hold the line. A promise from this administration is stepping on a rake.

Listening to these pathetic rationalizations from King, Hassan, Shaheen, whoever else they have queued up.

Disappointed that they're not having windup speech by Sen. Neville Chamberlain.

I've been reading the 3 approps bills + JES and looking for the CR text. A very-short short term CR + full year authorization for leg branch (+MilCon + VA) is not terrible ONLY IF it includes pushing back on WH encroachment on congress's power of the purse. Otherwise, it's for naught.

I'd like to think that all Senate Dems know that failure to rein in OMB/Vought's assertions re: impoundment/rescission is capitulation. Now, maybe there's a plan to gets some points on the bd & hold out on FSGG approps, but we will see.

As the Senate moves toward a possibly crucial vote on reopening the government, Trump is at the Commanders-Lions game over in Maryland. House Speaker Mike Johnson is with him, along with several Cabinet secretaries. They just had an Air Force One flyover.

Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: β€˜It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago

For Americans: Bread lines

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote β€œNo” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

If the elite corporate media even spend half as much time obsessing over the deep splits emerging in MAGA (over whether or not go all in with the nazis) as they will over the inevitable insufferable discourse re whether Ds should adopt Mamdani or Spanberger's politics, we'd be in a better place.

The amazing thing about the last few days is that people are not saying openly enough what has happened. The Chinese stared the US down and the US blinked. It could represent the end of an era and former US allies in Asia-Pacific had better watch out.

There were so many scantily clad showgirls at Trump’s Great Gatsby party that it should have been called an Epstein Files party.

Trump just showed his hand and came up with half the money for SNAP. The other half is there. Don't fold. You're gonna get fucked. AGAIN. Anyone who votes to reopen the government now, as the administration is coming apart and eating shit in the press and in the polls is trying to save Trump

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
