DO NOT PAY this extortion demand. Ridiculous.
The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

Perfect gift for this clueless Dotard.
Weeks ago, South Korea mocked Trump with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown, claiming it symbolized “peace.” In reality, the crown came from the Silla Kingdom, whose king was assassinated after a civil war and kingdom destroyed by corruption & rule for the wealthy.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Trump is *unilaterally* giving massive tax cuts to private equity, crypto, and foreign real estate investors.

This is what they were working on when they were "too tired" to worry about 20 million people losing their health care. I AM LIVID!
So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

Amazing story.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

Phang: These firings were illegal in the first fucking place.

It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.

Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.

Polls were turning on them.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

OK. Deep breath. But it is particularly galling that they managed to add millions in this agreement for their own personal security. ☠️

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection:

• Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026

• Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028

• Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030

• John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028

• Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028

IMPORTANT. Now nothing will stop the Dotard Traitor from just ignoring this agreement. He could withhold SNAP. It's cut radically from the Big Hideous Bill anyway at this point.
💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

It turns out the shutdown is really bad for Ukraine too. They aren't getting their defense weapons to stop the bombing of power infrastructure. 😬
The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

We’re teaching the monsters how to win. We’re teaching them that if they lose in district court on SNAP, SCOTUS will give them an indefinite stay—as starving kids aren’t an irreparable harm, but Trump losing a political debate is.

Then Trump, armed with his new stay, gets Senate Dems to capitulate.

Damn straight!
I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership.

I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.
This moment demands fighters, not folders.

Honestly, primarying Schumer and applying EXTREME pressure for him to resign immediately is a bare necessity, whether he kills us with this vote or not.

Even floating the idea reflects a total inability and unwillingness to lead, or represent Americans.

Regardless of the outcome, he is a traitor.
November 9, 2025 at 11:29 PM
They are gone! Every last one of them.
The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, and not because SNAP recipients want them to. They are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the establishment.
