Forest for the trees

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Reporter: When trump promised that he will give only the bare minimum to New York as a result of this election, what do you say to that?

AOC: I think he should be careful about what cities he threatens because as we see from this electorate—these are not people who take well to threats.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

How to answer a loaded question.

(This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Harrison Ford Slams Donald Trump’s “Ignorance” About Climate Change: “Everything He Says Is a Lie” "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history," the actor said about Trump when reflecting on his climate change policies.

“The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. He knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”-Ford

TIME’S RUNNING OUT‼️

They count on us not showing up. Vote #YesOnProp50 — get your ballot in by Nov 4

Republicans control every branch of government. This is their shutdown.

cc: Republicans

Turn in your ballot TODAY if you haven’t already done so! And if you’re relying on USPS, get it in the mail by this FRIDAY, just to be certain. If ballots are put in mailboxes ON Tuesday, they may NOT be postmarked in time to be considered valid. #CaliforniaVoters #YesOn50

The REPUBLICANS are all about the cruelty. They are going to starve our CHILDREN to make bogus political points and try to blame Democrats.

REPUBLICANS control all 3 branches of government. This is a Republican shutdown. Put the blame where it belongs ~ on the REPUBLICANS!

So... Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) asked the 4 nominees in this hearing a simple question -- if Trump directed you to break the law, would you follow the law or follow the president's directive? -- and not one could just say they'd follow the law.

😬

"What is the name of the particular country?" Warren pressed. "If you can't answer that question, I don't see how you can represent American soybean farmers."

The answer is Argentina, a country about to receive a $20 billion bailout from Trump.

What happened to people to be so cold that they support what’s going on to HUMAN BEINGS???

Any person who supports this is NOT a Christian. They are just assholes.

10/24/25💪Minnesota welcoming kristi noem press conference🇺🇸

I’ve made the message to Trump clear: We do not want you, Tom Homan, or Kristi Noem in Illinois. You do nothing but cause chaos and division.

That’s because Greg Abbott is a scared, weak-ass baby man who can’t think for himself and doesn’t want anyone else to think for themself either. He is anti-free speech and profoundly anti-American.

Anyone can take this transcript ⤵️ and use it. (You don't need to credit.)

I usually keep my most pungent editorial views more separate from newsy stuff to simplify other people
s re-posting. I couldn't get past my outrage on this.

P.S. There is full alt text. So, grab that too.

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

Your health care premiums will be going up 500% or more so that Trump and the Republicans can use those taxpayer funds to build American concentration camps.

A screenshot of the first page of the amicus brief in Trump v. State of Illinois and City of Chicago.

Trump’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Chicago is a gross overreach of power - our military should not be used as a political weapon to provoke fear and disorder in our communities.

I’m standing with 24 state AGs and governors urging the Supreme Court to block this unlawful effort.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases.

Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

Best sign so far. #NoKingsDay

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Lawsuit, threat of criminal charges part of GOP effort to block vote on Missouri map • Missouri Independent The campaign to repeal Missouri’s gerrymandered congressional map approaches the 106,000 signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot.

I signed the petition and if someone wants to arrest me for it, I’ll send them my address.

I’m not scared of these assholes.

#TrumpShutdownBadForUS

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed.

I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.
