Trump’s post that Rob Reiner had a stabbing death coming to him because he opposed Trump will be forgotten in a day or two. Like everything else. If we were a rational society, these appalling words and actions would be cumulative and we’d get rid of the bastard. Instead everything is a one-off.

I have no words of comfort to offer a weary nation so I will just share that a former sex worker I know who was paid to have sex with Donald Trump said his ‘d*ck looked like a small mushroom that a dog had chewed on’.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
More details below.

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

DNC Chair Martin: You can build your billionaire ballroom. You can offer empty promises, like bringing down costs on day one. You can try in vain to rig the midterms in your favor, and you can fail. like you did just yesterday in Indiana. But know this, Donald Trump. Your days in power are numbered.

Paying for the fat boy.
President Donald Trump’s personal travel routine has generated an estimated $70.8M in taxpayer costs this year, and projections based on federal audit data show the total could exceed $300M if the pattern continues.

As a Quaker organization, we abhor all violence because we believe every person has sacred worth.
We are deeply disturbed by the wanton, unrestrained violence we are seeing this administration carry out - both at home and abroad. Thank you, Sen. Murphy, for sounding the alarm.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.
We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The tariffs are the greatest abuse of power by a President in our history.
The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

U.S. layoffs set to surpass the Great Recession levels, on track to be worst since Great Depression. Spectre of economic collapse looming. Food lines growing longer across every region. Millions unable to afford basic medication or housing. Next year promises to be worse.

The US Labor Department announces it has cancelled the October PPI inflation report. Trump is refusing to show just how bad he's made everything.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.
If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.
The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”
