The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

The East Wing is totally gone. I can’t believe it

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government.

“If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica.

The Republicans immediately objected.

They forced a vote. And on a straight party line, they voted to keep my words out of the permanent record.

In my entire time in the Senate, I have never seen this happen.

Let that sink in for a moment.

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

Republican cuts to Medicaid are already hurting families. Covered California notices are going out now with increases of 50-200% due to the cuts to ACA subsidies. We must keep fighting for affordable health care.

At the same time millions of Americans are losing their healthcare and Trump is illegally canceling cancer research funding, Kristi Noem just bought two private jets for her personal use. The corruption from this administration is astounding.

Protesters chant "Racist maps make racist reps!" ahead of a vote on a new GOP-backed congressional map in the North Carolina Senate Elections Committee in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025.

As you get to a certain age, especially if you're a cis man, you've either got to own up to being an idiot (or worse) in your youth or double down on it.

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

I'm 67, and I could pass the fitness test 1/3 of ICE applicants fail, even though--unlike an ICE applicant--I'm carrying the extra weight of a heart and a shred of human decency.

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.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

FAFO!!

US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government. x.com/RTVCnoticias/s…..

Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters”

“Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.”

“The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

That’s one way to win a peace prize, right?

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Colombian President Petro: The United States wants Venezuela's and Guyana's oil, oil greed is what's behind the missiles over fishermen.

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

You’ve got supporters in Florence, Italy 😍💪💚!!

This is Idaho 💙

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

Gofundme should not be our national safety net

When you finally run out of fucks to give.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
