He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Americans brace for food stamps to run out: ‘The greatest hunger catastrophe since the Great Depression’ Nearly 42 million people in danger as federal government shutdown continues and Snap funding to end 1 November

The article states this will be a crisis of proportions not seen since the Great Depression & I cannot stress enough that this is all being willfully inflicted upon us because an octogenarian's having a temper tantrum

Building a ballroom while SNAP & WIC payments are about to get cut off and health insurance premiums skyrocket is crazy.

If Dems aren’t running ads by Wednesday….

Exclusive | Treasury Tells Employees Not to Share Photos of White House Ballroom Construction Images of the demolition of parts of the East Wing went viral on Monday, and Treasury’s headquarters next door to the White House has a front-row seat.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

The first hit is to all of us who run small businesses that won't survive this.

My favorite thing about the next No Kings Day is that it will be in every neighborhood across the country on October 31st, when children everywhere go marauding around in their inflatable unicorn, amphibian and superhero costumes, demanding candy and freedom, justice and due process for all. 🎃

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events.

Of course — “Bessent’s announcement had massive economic benefits for billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone, who placed large bets on the Argentine economy... a friend and former colleague of Bessent, who helped make Bessent very wealthy.” popular.info/p/trumps-arg...

If Trump is openly planning to withhold federal funds from New York over anti-Zohran politics, at what point do New Yorkers — who put in far more than they take out — get to stop paying federal taxes?

This is now a full blown constitutional crisis.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth Cool story, General Quote Ben Hodges @general_ben · 3h July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

Aside from how utterly deranged it is to even make light of this, he's not mocking some reporter or pundit by calling him "General." Ben Hodges is a real three-star general, he was the commander of the US Army in Europe before he retired. In other words, he's worked with a lot of Germans soldiers.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

Bowing down to a bully never works.

And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Some of us do.

I guess I should check if my home insurance policy covers the U.S. government blowing my front door off the hinges

The White House is not a talk-show set. Yet VP Vance turned it into one, hosting Kirk’s podcast, sanctifying him as martyr, and inheriting his base. Dissent cast as “terrorism,” propaganda broadcast as governance. This is how authoritarianism begins. Read more:

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Picture of plants in a greenhouse growing under clear see through PV panels.

Germany has developed **clear solar panels** designed specifically for greenhouses. These innovative panels generate electricity while still allowing enough sunlight to pass through for crops to thrive underneath, offering a dual solution for food production and renewable power.

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
