The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland It'd be hilarious if he wasn't the commander in chief.

New in PN: The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland

"Trump’s confusion isn’t just darkly comical (and a troubling reminder of the president’s growing senility) — it’s a stark illustration of the whiplash-inducing disconnect between his rhetoric and the reality on the ground."

🧑‍🌾 WASH POST: “The Trump admin said its immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and risking higher food prices by cutting off labor supply… threatening the stability of domestic food production & prices for 🇺🇸 consumers.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

either one of these political parties figure out that all they have to do is make peoples lives better and theyll have a trifecta for the next 500 years

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Today Trump visited Walter Reed and underwent another single-pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) procedure for his failing liver.

In case anyone actually believed this🤔👇🏽

“Trump’s own WH website values major investment announcements at $8.8 trillion — half the ‘$17 trillion’ Trump used out loud… CNN review shows even 8.8 is a big exaggeration…” www.cnn.com/2025/10/11/p...

Only a government run by billionaires would berate its employees for not wanting to work without pay.

The government has long researched high school experiences. Then DOGE cut the effort The federal government has long surveyed high schoolers to help track how their academic choices may have influenced the course of their lives. The Trump administration put an end to that effort.

Vaxxed?

Ghana’s foreign minister just posted this to X:

“The Ghanaian Government is pleased to note that our refusal to accept Abrego Garcia has been duly acknowledged and complied with by the US Department of Homeland Security.”

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Friday night massacre at the CDC per the New York Times.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

BofA: “News broke yesterday that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is calling furloughed workers to publish the September CPI report before month-end. One potential motivation behind this decision could be the Social Security cost of living adjustment, which is based on 3Q inflation data.”

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

“Trump made me do it” isn’t going to save Abbott.

CHICAGO — WGN News editor/producer Debbie Brockman grabbed by Trump’s ICE goons.. who then intentionally ram a bystander’s car as they peel away.

UPDATE: The @nytimes tells Hegseth to pound sand on his new policy to restrict how reporters cover the Pentagon

The brave Secretary of War who had US service members literally rolling out the red carpet for Putin will now have them cleaning toilets on a Qatari Airforce base in Idaho. You think operational maintenance and housekeeping isn’t part of the deal Kushner cut? America First, baby.

GOP Leaders Smear Upcoming 'No Kings' Marches as 'Hate America Rallies' by ‘Terrorists’ | Common Dreams Republican lawmakers smear upcoming "No Kings" rallies as "hate-America" events. Organizers vow peaceful protests against Trump administration.

Mike Johnson says rejecting kings is “hating America.” So, apparently, loyalty to the crown is patriotism now.

Love it.

Massive DHS "self-deportation" contract challenged as secretive and "unlawful" The “rushed” deal worth up to $915 million was handed to a firm with “no track record” as a federal contractor, a rival's lawsuit alleges.

NEW: A $915 million contract to fly immigrants out of the country was awarded to a brand new firm with DHS ties. A rival say it’s “unlawful.”

The Senate needs only to vote to end the filibuster (50% required), then vote on the Continuing Resolution. Shut down ends. The GOP has the power, but they just are not using it.

Medicare telehealth just expired.

Millions of seniors & disabled patients face canceled visits or big bills, because Congress failed to act.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
